Asahi Sushi & Asian Grill, Belle Chasse, LA Report #561

I pass by this small strip mall pretty often. It has several restaurants in it. I’ve tried the Rotolo’s and the Tea Bar, and today it was this places turn. Nice, clean looking little place. I had to grab my order to go. They have a pretty extensive menu. This is a link to it…

Tea Bar, Belle Chasse, LA Report #537

A few weeks ago I had dinner at Rotolo’s Pizza, which is in the same strip mall as this place. I saw the sign and wondered what kind of tea they might serve here. We stepped in to check it out, and I saw they sell a lot more than tea. Including crepes. I love…

Rotolo’s Pizzeria, Belle Chasse, LA Report #530

After The Olive Branch Café, this is the closest place to my house to grab a pizza, and I’ve never been here! So tonight, I decided to change that. Before heading over, I went to their website to plan my meal. On it there’s a “Craft & Crust” menu and a “Pizzeria” menu. I accidentally…

Pepper On 23, Belle Chasse, LA Report #493

If you think of Louisiana as a boot, LA. Hwy. 23 is the road that leads all the way down to the toe (picture # 3 above). Thus, the name of this place. It’s located on Hwy. 23. Not sure who Pepper is. There’s a bunch of reasons you’d want to make the drive down…

Jalapeños Mexican Cuisine, Belle Chasse, LA Report #368

This place is located at the end of a very short strip mall on LA Hwy 23, also known as Belle Chasse Hwy. Keep heading south on that highway and it dead ends at the Gulf of Mexico, at the “toe” of Southeast Louisiana. I pass this restaurant pretty often going down to the Navy…

Salvo’s Seafood, Belle Chasse, LA Report #266

Besides being a sit down restaurant, this place is also a seafood market.  You can stop in and grab fresh or boiled seafood to go.  In fact, we’re just getting into crawfish season down here.  A couple at the table next to us ordered a big platter of boiled crawfish, and they looked delicious!  I…

Adams Catfish House, Belle Chasse, LA Report #192

I’ve lived in Algiers and regularly visited the Navy Base in Belle Chasse for about 20 years, so I’ve literally passed by this place hundreds of times.  I’ve always thought, “I like catfish.  One day I’ve got to try that place”.  Tonight was the night. We decided on: And this was the food! I repeat. …

Zydeco’s, Belle Chasse, LA Report #104

I like this place.  I’ve ordered off the menu before and the food is good, but today I came for the seafood buffet.  I normally shy away from buffets because they’re more about quantity than quality. That’s not the case here.  You can go to any casino buffet and find Snow crab legs, but this…

Lil G’s Kajun Restaurant, Belle Chasse, LA Report #84

  Another Louisiana Hwy. 23 restaurant report (see report numbers 16 and 78), which is the highway that dead ends at the Gulf of Mexico, at the “toe” of the boot Louisiana is shaped like.  I ate dinner at this place maybe a decade ago and I guess maybe I wasn’t too impressed since I…

Dairy Dip, Belle Chasse, LA Report #78

    Louisiana is shaped like a boot.  If you want to drive down to the “toe” of the boot you’d be driving down Louisiana Hwy. 23 and you’d pass Dairy Dip.  About 70 miles later you’d hit the Gulf of Mexico.  If you don’t grab a bite to eat here, there’s a BBQ joint…
