This Louisiana Italian Restaurant Makes Its Pasta, Pizza Dough And Ice Cream From Scratch

A blue crab pasta in Louisiana comes with a twist, and I can’t stop thinking about it. The noodles are made in-house, and so are the pizza dough and the ice cream. That’s a lot of from-scratch work for one kitchen. I like how the menu blends Italian ideas with a Gulf Coast attitude.

Taste The Brisket And Pork Belly Burnt Ends That Draw Lines Outside This Luling, Louisiana Smokehouse

Some barbecue joints hope for a crowd. This one in Luling, Louisiana, gets a line before the doors even unlock. The smokehouse sells its full barbecue spread only a few hours a week, and people still show up from Texas, Seattle, and the Chicago area to wait their turn.

This Louisiana Marina-Side Restaurant Serves Seafood And A Leisurely Weekend Brunch

Crabcakes Benedict and Italian zeppole share the same brunch menu here, and sailboats bob in the marina next door. That pairing alone had me hooked. I like a place that mixes Gulf seafood with Sicilian roots and doesn’t apologize for it. The kitchen leans Coastal Italian, with Creole Italian...
