Daaaa da daaa da!!! It’s that time of year again.  Tiger flags are fluttering and even cell phones ring with those familiar notes that stir the blood of LSU fans everywhere. Football season is underway and here in Louisiana, Game Day is as much a food event as an athletic one. Don’t believe me? As evidence, I give you, and please feel free to cheer along, "HOT BOUDIN......COLD COUS-COUS, COME ON TIGERS, PUSH PUSH PUSH!!!"
It’s my favorite cheer. 

Dining In The Mississippi Delta

Bourbon, LA

Mark Azlin, the owner of the Bourbon Mall, must be a crazy man. How else would you explain opening a restaurant in the middle of a cornfield?
Ok, maybe not in the middle of a cornfield but certainly surrounded by seemingly unending fields of cotton and corn. I challenge you to find Bourbon, MS on the map. I challenge you, knowing that once you do, you'll be as happy as we were.

The Cheeseburger Trail
In search of that most perfect of inventions, the cheeseburger.

Lafayette, LA
Remember when practically all burgers came wrapped in paper? Your meal would arrive with the warm drippings staining the thin white covering. There was a decision to be made. Should you partially unfold the moist envelope, neatly revealing more burger as you chomp away? Or should you spread your paper as a small tablecloth and bravely bare hand that stack of meaty goodness, mopping the juices from your hands and forearms as you chew?

The Blue Dog Café.

Driving west on Interstate 10 toward Lafayette, LA, I figured the Blue Dog Café had a 50-50 chance of being good. Who does't love the art of George Rodrigue? I’d heard the walls were covered with originals and prints. Blue dogs everywhere, they said. I wondered how this establishment came to be named after his work. And would the place be about the Blue Dogs or would it be about the food?
