Perino’s Boiling Pot, Harvey, LA Report #552

This place is located down in Harvey, Louisiana. I pass this way pretty often and have been wanting to try it for some time. It’s just such a nice-looking place from the outside it kind of calls to you! It’s a nice-looking place inside too.

Boudin King, Jennings, LA Report #524

Boudin is a sausage made with pork, rice and numerous seasonings. I love it! It’s about impossible to find good boudin in the New Orleans metro area. Today I found myself driving from Lake Charles, Louisiana, back to New Orleans, through the heart of Cajun country where you can get great boudin. I see a… Continue reading Boudin King, Jennings, LA Report #524

Restaurant R’evolution, New Orleans, LA Report #502

Still dining my way through COOLinary month. When I saw the menu at this place I had to have it! I even had it planned out. 1st course short rib boudin, 2nd course wild boar pasta, or maybe the lamb shank, and 3rd course an ice cream stuffed eclair. Sadly, it wasn’t to be. More… Continue reading Restaurant R’evolution, New Orleans, LA Report #502

Poche’s, Breaux Bridge, LA Report #473

The drive back from Galveston, TX, to New Orleans is about 6 hours. No human alive can possibly go that long without eating, so we had to make a stop.
