Without Lafayette local restaurants, we'd be Shreveport.



That was the saying of the night as we dined at another great Lafayette restaurant, Charley Gs. We all ordered the EatLafayette special, which was over the top. We sampled the soup, gumbo, pecan encrusted catfish dish, crab cakes and white chocolate bread pudding. All of us highly recommend everything on the menu, but at $25 the EatLafayette special is a real deal at this fine dining establishment. The portions were very generous and we want to thank Director of Operations, Courtney Vincent for bringing us a bottle of Blanco wine.

Charley Gs has been a staple in the local scene since 1985. The owner, Charlie Goodson, spearheads the EatLafayette promotion for the restaurants. His commitment to the local scene goes beyond his own doors. Look for more news as Executive Chef Holly Goetting celebrates her 2005 award as one of the up and coming Louisiana chefs. Holly will be part of an extravagant fare at the James Beard Foundation in July. The event was postponed and relocated after Hurricane Katrina.
