Sunday at Prejean's
Over the weekend a few friends from out of town stopped in and by Sunday, when lunchtime rolled around, they started to ask about Prejean's. They'd heard about it from all their friends who pass through Lafayette and they were dying to make a visit themselves. I knew they were in for a treat, so we piled into my hubby's truck and headed down the highway.
When we walked in and got seated and began to look over the menu, we quickly decided that food sharing would be a must. It all sounded so good! As soon as my corn and crab bisque arrived, we divvied it up and all had a taste of heaven. Our friend Joey ordered the duck and andouille gumbo and although it made him sweat, he said it was delicious. My hubby's fried seafood platter was full of delicious frog legs, shrimp, oyster, catfish, alligator, stuffed shrimp & stuffed crab (it also comes with rice dressing, cajun fries and corn macque choux); he had more food than he knew what to do with! Joey's wife, Megan ordered the Eggplant Pirogue Louis - half an eggplant lightly breaded and fried, then filled with shrimp, crawfish and crab topped with creamy Louis sauce.
There were no complaints and the table was relatively quiet (our mouths were full), save their baby boy, William crying for more fries!

Lunch at Southside Bakery
When consulting the EatLafayette restaurant list this morning, my eyes never got past Southside Bakery. All it took was one memory of the last Southside burger I had, and my mind was made up. I stepped up and eagerly ordered my favorite, the delicious Gourmet Cheeseburger.
I got there slightly earlier than the rest of the lunch crowd, which afforded me a front row seat (a.k.a. - a table in the front window) to watch the hamburger aficionados of Lafayette file in. Some would even leave with large boxes full of food to bring back to their co-workers!
As I took another bite and tasted the perfectly seasoned burger and the sweet bun, I knew I had made the right choice. After all, if you have room left after the huge burger, you don't have to go far to get something sweet for dessert!

Radically Urban BBQ
I had no idea where I would eat lunch today when I left the office, but as I saw the big lime green umbrellas out of the corner of my eye, I made a bee-line for 2Pauls. As I sat there, enjoying my pulled pork sandwich topped with 2Pauls signature asian coleslaw and smothered in mild BBQ sauce, the people began to file in. I dug into my two sides of Pretty Ruby's Rice Dressing (Yes, two. It's easily the best rice dressing I've ever tasted. Sorry, Mom!) and in no time, my stomach was full and it was evident that I was skipping dessert.
Judging by the way they were lining up at the counter, people in Lafayette aren't crazy. They know good food when they taste it, and 2Pauls is good food.
