It was nice. The most interesting part was the road trip we took from the 27th-28th. We drove down to Plaquemine, LA and had lunch with my buddy Corey. We had planned on eating at City Cafe, but Corey graciously informed us that it was closed. So upon his recommendation we ate at Miranda's instead, and everybody came away praising the food up and down. And no easy critics, we. I had the sauteed (though, as the waitress noted, it was really more pan-fried) catfish, smothered in crawfish etouffee, served over white rice, with red beans and sausage. It was fantastic. Well done, Corey.
That night we had dinner at Randol's in Lafayette, where they also have Cajun dancing. I partook of the food, passed on the dancing. I had the redfish (love redfish) with crawfish and shrimp etouffee. Not bad. Here's what it looked like:
I skipped the onion rings. The next day in St. Martinville we had a very nice lunch of shrimp stew.
I'm sure there was more to the trip than food. Visited with family and friends and had a great time. I flew through Houston, the greatest airport in the world by reason of having a Popeyes and a Shipley's donuts. A long layover there is heaven on earth, I say.
