Oct. 19-26 restaurant inspections: Sushi Masa racks up 9 critical violations

Five Lafayette Parish restaurants recorded the most critical health violations during inspections conducted between Oct. 19 and Oct. 26, according to the Louisiana Department of Health. The inspections, published through the state's retail food health inspections dashboard, identified violations that health officials say are more likely to contribute to food contamination or foodborne illness if left uncorrected. Critical violations differ from non-critical violations, which aren't directly linked to foodborne illness but can become health hazards if left unaddressed. Health officials note that inspections represent a snapshot in time and may not reflect an establishment's day-to-day operations or overall condition. The dashboard is updated daily, though inspection reports are typically posted with a seven-day delay. Here are the Lafayette Parish restaurants that received the most critical violations during the reporting period: Sushi Masa Kitchen 3920 Ambassador Caffery Parkway, Lafayette — 9 critical violations Sushi Masa Kitchen received the most critical violations in the parish during the reporting period.

Best Stop turns 40 as Scott Boudin landmark celebrates growth

What started as a small neighborhood supermarket with a gravel parking lot and a handful of gas pumps has become one of Acadiana’s most recognizable food brands for the four decades. The Best Stop Supermarket will celebrate its 40th anniversary Sunday, Nov. 1, at its original Scott location, with Cajun food, family traditions, and community ties that have helped turn a local meat market into a business with customers across the country. The celebration marks exactly 40 years since Robert Cormier and Lawrence “Brud” Menard opened The Best Stop on Nov. 1, 1986, when South Louisiana faced economic challenges tied to the region’s oil downturn. Their vision was simple: provide quality groceries and authentic Cajun products while serving the community they called home. Through the years, that family-run operation evolved into far more than a neighborhood grocery store. Today, The Best Stop is known throughout Louisiana and beyond for its boudin, sausage, cracklins and other specialty foods. The company has expanded with locations in Louisiana and Texas, ships products nationwide and operates a USDA-certified wholesale manufacturing facility that supplies customers well beyond Acadiana. Despite its growth, family members say the business remains rooted in the values that helped build its
