Today’s Ketch Seafood, Chalmette, LA Report #540

Yesterday for lunch we had fried seafood on the brain, so we headed to Deanie’s seafood in Bucktown. We ended up getting sidetracked and having an excellent lunch at Station 6 instead. Today we decided to scratch that fried seafood itch. This place is located down in St. Bernard Parish. I’ve had several people tell…

Ben’s Pizza, Arabi, LA Report #527

One reason Louisiana is known as a sportsman’s paradise is because we’ve got some of the best fishing in the world. From right here in St. Bernard Parish you can do everything from freshwater perch jerking to deep sea tuna fishing. I love fishing but hadn’t been in a long time. I decided to take…
