Lafayette, LA
When one thinks of the “scene” in Lafayette, images of a bustling downtown usually come to mind. But for the truly hip and in-the-know, those willing to walk an extra block or two, Artmosphere offers everything downtown can and more!
This well-kept secret of artists, oil rig divers, and professors alike serves up good food and drink along with incredible live bands in a laid back loungy indoor/outdoor art gallery. One look at the signs on Johnston street says it all, “Bistro, Live Music, Bar, Hookah Lounge.” |

The phrase "Soul Food" brings to mind heaping plates of pork chops and greens, chicken and potatoes, ribs and butter beans, biscuits and corn bread. "Louisiana Soul Food" is all of that and more. It's the livelier cousin, or couzan, of that comfort food family. Laura's II of Lafayette, Louisiana is the perfect place to appreciate the distinct difference.

Two of my favorite Louisiana artists are related, father and son. Francois and Patrick Poupart have been blessed with the skill and genius necessary to turn mere flour and it’s accoutrements into culinary masterpieces capable of arousing each of your senses in a symphony of pleasure. More than once, I have surrendered totally to the delicate goodness of Poupart’s croissants. I have swooned in the face of their glistening tarts. Each visit to their bakery is preceded by anticipation and indecision. I long for the comfort of the wondrous discoveries of past visits. I crave the adventure of fabulous choices yet unmade. |

 Breaux Bridge, LA
On a recent swing through Breaux Bridge, I ran across a restaurant I had actually forgotten about, CrawfishtownUSA. It was once a favorite of mine for boiled crawfish but it was a seasonal restaurant, closing once the crawfish season ended. So I was surprised to see what looked like acres of cars parked out front when I would have expected the whole place to be deserted. Of course I had to stop and check it out. |
