We're well into the EatLafayette spirit, even though we're only a week into the campaign! Lauren and I decided to hit up the newest restaurant to the campaign, Abacus, for lunch today. Located on the busy roadway that is Pinhook during lunch hour, Abacus has a great atmosphere that encourages visitors to slow down and enjoy their lunch. We were seated at a table near the buffet, which today offered Meatball and Potato Stew that smelled absolutely wonderful.
However, in true EatLafayette style, we by passed on the buffet (by the hardest) and instead opted for the hamburger with the 10% EatLafayette discount. We were not disappointed! This burger is substantial. We mean huge. The patty is almost 2in thick and the bread is crispy and toasted and you can opt to slather it with their tasty remoulade sauce or the standard ketchup and mustard. The fries are delicious and if you want my advice (which you're gonna get either way :) save some of the remoulade sauce for dipping. However, the crowning achievement of lunch at Abacus (in our humble opinion) is the bread pudding that they make fresh every single morning. It was presented to us with almost those exact words by our server Dené. She also explained that we shouldn't attack the deliciousness with utensils, oh no. She didn't even recommend using our fingers as a last ditch effort. Her advice - "Straight with ya face." I promise you, Lafayette, she's not crazy. She is, however, the best bread pudding saleswoman I've ever met. So thanks Dené and thanks Abacus for a wonderful lunch experience.
