I went to Louisiana on Monday & Tuesday. I was not excited about the trip at all. But it's only because I didn't think about all the good meals that awaited me! Keep in mind that I've only recently turned the corner for seafood. It also seemed sinful to not partake in some Louisiana seafood!
Monday night I ate at the Blue Dog Cafe. I started out with the Duck Quesadillas, then moved on to the Corn & Crab Bisque. I had the Crab Cakes for my entree, with the dirty-dog rice. So, so good!
Tuesday for lunch I was with a group. A local recommended Poor Boy's Riverside Inn. Holy smokes. It was SO good! Better than Blue Dog the night before. The appetizer was a lot of things I was scared of - Oysters en Brochette, Alligator Tidbits, Cajun Crabfingers, Fried Catfish, Seafood Boulettes, and Fried Crawfish Tails. I sampled the oysters, catfish, boulettes, and then kept going back for the alligator. As if I had more room, I had the Lump Crabmeat Sauteed in Butter. It came with a salad (with house dressing that was just meh)and a stuffed baked potato. But that crabmeat sauteed in butter was so so good. 2 others at the table had the Whole Grilled Flounder - it looked so pretty! And they loved it.
So there's a short and sweet list of places to try if you ever get to Lafayette. You won't need more than a short list, I'm sure - because really?!? Who goes to Lafayette?!
