A weekend in Acadiana, exploring Louisiana towns like Mamou and Rayne, Lafayette and Opelousas, promises Cajun fiddle in the morning and zydeco frottoir at night, fueled by drive-through boudin and roadhouse crawfish. But a traveler can’t live off chank-a-chank and cayenne alone. Soon, a question forms: After you’ve dripped crawfish juice on your blouse and smeared boudin on your jeans, where can you go once you clean up for a dinner that’s less oilcloth and more white tablecloth, at a restaurant that serves wine in bottles instead of a joint that serves beer in cans?

We haven’t had grass like this in a long time. Where it traditionally grew 10 years ago, it’s growing again. There are lots of areas where we’ve got matted hydrilla out to 8, maybe 15 feet deep in some places.

This Louisiana Roadside Restaurant Serves Hot Dogs With A Big Dose Of Old-School Charm

Nectar cream soda is on the menu here. That pink, sweet, very Southern fountain drink still gets poured beside hot dogs, malts, and phosphates, and it makes me grin every time. I love a place that sweats the details. Retro wall art still reads Dearman’s Drugs, a nod to the...
