Rusted Rooster

Steph — Sat, 04 May 2013 21:35:21 +0000

We are so glad there is a new breakfast place in town that is easy to get into on weekdays. Rusted Rooster at the corner of St. Landry and N. University has small town charm with big time flavor. After hearing about them around Lafayette and seeing their posts on Facebook and Instagram we had [...]

This is the first post by Dana B. Guidry. A Lafayette secret that needs to be exposed immediately is Noah’s Cafe on Ambassador Caffery near Dulles Drive. Some patrons have been visiting Ms. Shirley’s eatery steadily for several years; by steadily I mean once a week or more. I have been known to eat there [...]

This review and pictures submitted by Kim Addie from New Iberia, LA. I’ve had Johnson’s Boucanière on my restaurant hit list for a while and recently I was able to visit this Lafayette treasure. I had no idea that Johnson’s goodness goes all the way back to Eunice (La.), where the family first started smoking [...]

Mom’s Shrimp Mosca – Cajun BBQ Shrimp

Cel — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 23:09:01 +0000

I’m not sure if there’s a dish I’ve wanted to make from my childhood more than my mom’s Shrimp Mosca. Watching her at the stove, the recipe seemed like some big secret. As I would peek over the counter’s edge, [...]

Finding my Coon-Ass self…

Cel — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 16:00:18 +0000

I couldn’t have been gone that long… I couldn’t have lost my “cajunness”. Every time I come to Lafayette, I see some of the craziest stuff and I always think, “What the heck happened in Lafayette that everyone thinks all this is normal?” For example, I saw a horse running across University Avenue with no [...]

From our contributor K.F. Schexnayder. Masala Indian Restaurant is a gem hidden in plain sight in Lafayette. Their food and atmosphere are among the best in town, without a doubt. Their consistency, however, makes them a must frequent restaurant. The first thing that a person who is new to the Indian food experience at Masala or anywhere [...]

Venison

Steph — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 01:02:28 +0000

Sitting with his knees up to his chest, hands shoved deep down into the insulated folds of his camouflaged jacket, his eyes scan the woods edge for any sign of movement. He is focused for hours – steadily waiting, waiting. Finally, after being patient, the game is about to begin. He glances to the left just behind [...]
