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. It’s hard to find good boudin in New Orleans, and once, long ago, I found some that was excellent! I forgot where. But I asked… Continue reading Poche’s, Breaux Bridge, LA Report #473

Fontenot’s Cajun Café, Natchitoches, LA Report #436
Ever saw the movie Steel Magnolias? With Sally Field and Julie Roberts? One claim to fame this city has is it was set and filmed here. I never saw that movie, so let’s move on. Another thing that this city is known for are their meat pies. A lot of menus in New Orleans will… Continue reading Fontenot’s Cajun Café, Natchitoches, LA Report #436
Ajun Cajun, New Orleans, LA Report #397
This place describes their food as authentic Japanese food with a hint of Cajun spice. That intrigued me, so I put it on my list of restaurants I wanted to try some time back. Then last night I saw a glowing review of it online, which pushed me to get in here today for lunch.… Continue reading Ajun Cajun, New Orleans, LA Report #397
Frankie & Johnny’s, New Orleans, LA Report #392
Located a stones throw from the Mississippi river, this place has been around since 1942. That’s a long time! I bet the sign hanging in front is older than me. Cozy place. When you walk in the first thing you see is the bar. If I lived in the neighborhood and was a drinker, I… Continue reading Frankie & Johnny’s, New Orleans, LA Report #392
Etouffée, Covington, LA Report #360
It was just two weeks ago I crossed the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway for a delicious dinner at The Dakota. Well, here I am doing it again! A friend of mine who lives across the lake visited this restaurant and loved it. I looked up the menu online and knew I had to pop in for… Continue reading Etouffée, Covington, LA Report #360
Prejean’s, Lafayette, LA. Report #301
The address for this restaurant list it in Lafayette, Louisiana, but it’s actually just north of Lafayette in the small town of Carencro, LA. Don’t want to cheat them out of their credit for having this place! If you’re heading down Interstate 10, just take I-49 North, and in a mere two miles you’re here.… Continue reading Prejean’s, Lafayette, LA. Report #301
Restaurant des Familles, Crown Point, LA Report #289
Crown Point, Louisiana, is a very short ride from New Orleans. I live on the Westbank of New Orleans and it only took us about 20 minutes to get here. It’s well worth the drive. Beautiful place in a peaceful setting, with a dining room looking out over a swamp. Last time I was here,… Continue reading Restaurant des Familles, Crown Point, LA Report #289
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… Continue reading Zydeco’s, Belle Chasse, LA Report #104
R&O’S, Metairie, LA Report #31
This place is only about two blocks from the New Orleans city line in an old part of Metairie called Bucktown. Bucktown began as a string of hunting and fishing camps over 100 years ago. Lake Pontchartrain is right across the street. I wouldn’t call it an Italian place but there’s no shortage of Italian… Continue reading R&O’S, Metairie, LA Report #31
Bobby Hebert’s Cajun Cannon, Metairie, LA Report #14
I forgot to take a picture of the place from the outside so I had to pull one up online to show what it looks like. Bobby Hebert is a former QB for the New Orleans Saints. He had a strong arm and was a real Louisiana Cajun, from Cut Off, Louisiana, so he had… Continue reading Bobby Hebert’s Cajun Cannon, Metairie, LA Report #14
