Today, it was Deano's on Bertrand. Hadn't been there in a long time and almost didn't recognize the place from the outside. I used to drive down that street every day and hated to pass by when they were open because there were always people pulling in & out of their crazy three-sided parking lot! Now the front has been turned into a little patio area that has made the street and the parking much better. They've enclosed it nicely, too, with a little wall that shuts out enough of Bertrand to make it pleasant.
Bernie & I had the Eat Lafayette special: a choice of appetizer, a pizza and 2 drinks. We chose the Spinach and Artichoke Dip with Fried Eggplant slices. Our pizza was a combo of four favorites: BBQ Chicken, Tee Rex (all the meats), the famous Marie Laveaux (crabmeat), and Shrimp a la Deano's. All this food, a Coke and an Iced Tea for $19.99! It's a great deal and it's delicious. But here's where we decided to go crazy... I was telling Bernie the about discussing weight management with my doctor. Doc told me a story about making good food choices, "say you're deciding between a banana and a peach. The peach would be the better choice." I almost choked to death trying not to scream with laughter! I was thinking she was going to say "between a banana and a piece of cheesecake!" (Clearly, we live in very different worlds, my doctor and I.) So I'm finishing up this strange story, when our wonderful waitress, Ashley, asked if we'd care for anything else. I told her a little spot of something sweet would be nice and she tells us about the Fried Oreos! So I'm thinking, "Fried Oreos or a banana?" But I learned my lesson at the Doctor's office. Obviously the banana's the wrong choice! The Fried Oreos come three on a plate, so we shared with Ashley. Just trust me on this one, you gotta try 'em!
