This Famous Louisiana Buffet Is Worth The Trip If You Love Big Plates
This Louisiana buffet hits harder than a jazz trumpet in the French Quarter. Crawfish étouffée, fried chicken, and cornbread didn’t just sit on my plate. They staged a full-on flavor takeover, daring me to survive the delicious chaos. Every bite made me question all the sad, tiny meals I’d ever settled for, like my taste buds had just joined Forrest Gump on a cross-country sprint.

St. Tammany parties all month for St. Patrick's Day
UP CLOSE: Pacific Northwest singer-songwriter-storyteller Kray Van Kirk, on tour promoting his new CD, “Empire,” will entertain at the Lobby Lounge in Slidell on March 19. While his earlier work focused on traditional folk Americana with Celtic roots and plenty of myths, the new music shifts directions “and brings myth into the daylight” by looking at 500 years of history and how Americans deal with anger, justice and renewal. The Lobby Lounge is a bohemian-styled music listening room created to bring nationally touring artists to the Harbor Center for monthly “Up Close and Musical” concerts like this one in a smaller, intimate venue. The music starts at 7 p.m. at 100 Harbor Center Blvd. Get tickets at Eventbrite.com.
