Weekend with "K"; King, Fried Catfish, and Kopy Kat + a nice Reflection

The 11th issue of Weekend Roundup for this year...
the Letter "K". Prompts are:
(A) Starts with "K"; (B) A Favorite; (C) Kopy Kat or Kind; and (D) Reflection(s).

(A) Starts with "K":  King starts with "K". The following is about a King Size plant we had in a flowerbed. I had it posted in my "Jim's little Christmas Tree place" blog.

This guy was growing in our flower bed out front of the house, by the street. I left it there for a while because I thought maybe it was a melon. Cantaloupe or watermelon is great homegrown.
 It probably wasn't going to have any type melons, or even a pumpkin. So today I pulled it for the garbage guys to haul away

It did have some little blue flowers but the vine was taking over the flower bed. It had to go, sorry..

I have no idea what this plant is. Maybe you can identify them from these pictures. I sure would like to know what it was that I pulled up.

I might have learned its identity in my high school Ag class, if I did, I have forgotten it now. Like I have never heard of this plant or seen one before.


(B) A Favorite:  I like, almost with an infinity, old buildings and places. This one, Kings Lounge, aka Jazz Café, I found beside the LSU Hospital's outpatient building in Shreveport, Louisiana.

I had thought that after our visit we could eat seafood there.  Think again.  They were in the middle of an extensive remodeling project.

(C) Kopy Kat or Kind

We did get to have Fried Catfish only it was Yesterday and not Wednesday at the King Lounge a.k.a. Jazz Cafe.  Instead we ate locally here in Farmerville, Louisiana.  I am sure this was better Fish, FF's, Slaw, and Hushpuppies anyway.


(D) Reflection(s): King's Lounge again, this picture shows the reflections in their driveway.

Oh my that catfish lunch looks so good. Now I'm hungry.

Have a fabulous day and weekend, Jim. My best to Mrs. Jim. 😎
 
Great post.
 
That fish makes me hungry for seafood. With hushpuppies, of course.
 
...Jim. your 'K'ing size plant was on a mission. a mission to take over your yard! I always enjoyed 'Ka't Fish, FF's, Slaw, and Hushpuppies when I went to college at the University of Georgia. Take good care and stop back again.
 
Nope I cannot ID the plant but a good idea to get rid of it as it would have taken over your garden. The fish looks good, I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
 
That's a wild looking plant! The fish looks yummy, I haven't had catfish in a long time! Have a good week, Jim.

Nice post! I feel like I've seen the King's Lounge before. Maybe I passed by it when I went to Shreveport about 11 yrs ago.
 
That is a massive plant - yet the delicate lavender flowers allow us a study in contrasts. The catfish looks wonderful, and I like the Jazz Cafe - not fancy but looks as if it makes great food!
