Hakka noodles, stuffed mushrooms and more best things we ate this week in Baton Rouge and Acadiana

Stuffed mushrooms, pasta and cheesecake from Mansurs on the Boulevard. My first visit to Mansurs on the Boulevard was a hit. Live piano sounded through the room as I perused the menu with a friend. We started with the Zydeco mushrooms, stuffed with seafood, parmesan cheese and lemon butter. This was a melt-in-your-mouth kind of bite, and dinner was off to a great start.

NYB Has Been Baking Bagels From Scratch in Baton Rouge Since 1996: What to Order at All Three Shops

In 1933 his brother Jimmy took over management with family members, and they ran it for the next 43 years.

This Louisiana Country Market Packs Fresh Produce, Boudin, Cracklins And Homemade Treats

A whole roadside business grew out of a 5-acre strawberry patch and the back of a pickup truck. That alone makes me smile. Now the same family sells boudin, hot cracklins, and gator sausage under one roof. The shelves keep going from there. Jams, jellies, honey, and boiled peanuts share...

A Delightful New Coffee Shop Near the Amite River

Denizens in my (A&E Editor Jacqueline DeRobertis-Braun’s) neck of the woods—the very edge of East Baton Rouge Parish pushing right up against the Amite River—have long bemoaned the lack of a cozy independent coffee shop nearby to satisfy our caffeine cravings. Enter Café Verdino, a very green, very vibe-y coffee shop nestled in a shopping center along Jones Creek Road that opened its doors this summer. The aesthetics are mid-century modern meets the Mediterranean, populated with sensible (green) cushioned chairs and citrus-forward artwork and decor; outside there are umbrellas and tables for guests to enjoy as the weather cools. I had the pleasure of visiting the café for my first official excursion postpartum (sans my third baby), during which I enjoyed a perfectly foamed cappuccino and noshed on a feta veggie tartine (fresh, bright, and gorgeously plated). It was so good that I brought my two-year-old the next week on a mother-daughter date for a generously sized chocolate muffin (hers) and a delightfully spiced Autumn Breeze (mine, Café Verdino's take on a brown sugar shaken espresso topped with chai cold foam). Perfectly timed for the season of hot beverages, the antidote to bland commercial coffee shops is here. cafeverdino.com.

Baton Rouge's Lost Nightclubs Reunite for Prom Macabre at Cary Saurage Center

Cary Saurage Community Arts Center — Venue For Prom Macabre. Baton Rouge's long-shuttered nightclub scene gets a one-night resurrection this Friday, when Prom Macabre brings DJ Prep back behind the decks at the Cary Saurage Community Arts Center for a dark retro celebration built for people who remember when dance floors in this city never seemed to close. The 21-and-older event starts at 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 30 at 233 St. Ferdinand St., with a costume contest, a crowned prom king and queen, and a soundtrack pulled straight from the city's vanished club era.
