The Unassuming Restaurant In Louisiana That’ll Make Pancake Lovers Very Happy

One pancake order here comes with five thick-cut slices of bacon riding along. There goes your concentration for the rest of the morning. The pancake menu keeps going, too.

This Louisiana Café Serves Delicious Gluten-Free Waffles, Plant-Based Burgers And Sweet Treats

The bacon on one sandwich here is made from adzuki beans. Yes, beans. And the kitchen cooks with olive oil only, skipping seed oils and refined sugars entirely. That would be bold anywhere. In Louisiana, where fried food is practically a love language, it feels downright rebellious. I like how this café makes healthy eating sound fun instead of strict.

In honor of the 18th annual Oak Street Po-Boy Festival this weekend, we remember some po-boy purveyors of the past. One of them, Acy’s Pool Hall, had a sign over its bar that advertised its sandwiches as the best in the world, according to restaurant reviewer Tom Fitzmorris. In his book “Lost Restaurants of New Orleans,” co-written with Peggy Scott Laborde, Fitzmorris wrote that the statement “may have been going a little far – but only a little.”

How the Turducken Made Its Way From New Orleans to Sarasota

We’ve all had some interesting cravings, but turducken? The idea of a chicken stuffed inside a duck stuffed inside a turkey was said to have been inspired by a customer’s request at Hebert’s Specialty Meats in South Louisiana. In 1986, famed New Orleans chef Paul Prudhomme trademarked the term and popularized the dish. Then Alpine Steakhouse, a family-owned business in Sarasota, boarded the turducken train and began selling its now signature dish here in 1996.
