These Louisiana Breakfast Taverns And Neighborhood Cafes Keep Morning Traditions Alive

One Louisiana diner cooks its burgers under hubcaps, and it has been feeding night owls and early birds since 1939. That detail alone had me hooked. Another breakfast counter in the state opened in 1946 and still seats guests at a long counter. A cafe near a big college campus has served students since 1941. One family biscuit recipe has now passed through three generations. I love how stubborn these places are about the good stuff.

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. The two names on everyone’s lips are prime brisket and pork belly burnt ends, and both have a habit of selling out before closing time.

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

LDH reports critical violations at Terrebonne restaurants for Oct. 1-17

The Houma Courier obtained food safety inspection information for Terrebonne Praish for Oct. 1-17 from the Louisiana Department of Health. The top two addresses with the most critical violations in Terrebonne Parish are listed, along with an explanation of the finding. They each had at least four critical violations. According to the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, uncorrected critical violations are more likely to contribute to food contamination or illness. Less serious violations are not directly related to foodborne illness but could become hazardous if uncorrected. The Louisiana Department of Health's retail food health inspections dashboard includes a history of each establishment's inspection reports. Inspections should be considered a "snapshot" and might not always reflect an establishment's day-to-day operations and overall condition. Violations fall into two main categories: critical and non-critical. Critical violations are more likely to contribute directly to food contamination or illness if left uncorrected. Non-critical violations are not directly related to the cause of foodborne illness but could become critical if left uncorrected.
