Looking For A Great Sub Sandwich? - Try Jersey Mike's in Baton Rouge


 If you happen to be in our state capitol and want a great sub sandwich you have to eat at Jersey Mike's!

Last Saturday my little angel and I made a pilgrimage down to Baton Rouge to see the Old State Capitol and to eat at Jersey Mike's. Yes, eating at Jersey Mike's was actually on our itinerary due to the fact that we both hadn't eaten at one in over five years. Back in our days in California it was one of the restaurants that we ate at quite frequently.

It may have been a long time but the food certainly didn't disappoint.

I ordered the #13 The Original Italian with provolone, ham, prosciuttini, cappacuolo, salami, and pepperoni on white bread and my wife got the #5 Super Sub with provolone, ham, prosciuttini and cappacuolo also on white bread. We ordered both Mike's Way with Onions, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Vinegar, Oil and Spices. We also both got Miss Vickie's kettle style BBQ chips which are also a must when eating at Jersey Mike's. We each got the 6 inch sub so we both split the sandwiches and shared both sandwiches. 

Of the two I enjoyed my Original Italian a little more. That's not a knock on the Super Sub which was also very tasty.

Hopefully we won't wait another five years or so before enjoying Jersey Mike's again.

Some West Coast Flavor - In-N-Out Burger

One of the charms of eating at In-N-Out is the simplicity of the menu. While the competition is always adding and subtracting different types of menu items, In-N-Out keeps it simple. Three types of burgers (a regular Hamburger, Cheeseburger and the Double Double), Fries and a fountain drink. - READ MORE


I have to admit up front that even though the joint is named Taco Treat I have actually never had a taco from here. I know that sounds kinda crazy but let me explain. Yes the place has the name taco right up front, but this restaurant is known to locals for their fried burritos. - READ MORE

Some West Coast Flavor: Del Taco

Ed Hackbarth and David Jameson opened the first Del Taco in Yermo, CA in 1964. With a menu of 19¢ tacos, tostadas, fries and 24¢ cheeseburgers, Del Taco brought in $169 in sales on its first day in business - the equivalent of 900 tacos. Things were off to a bold start. - READ MORE

Abandoned Louisiana - The Pirate's Cove Water Park / Resort in Iowa

Image
 About ten minutes east of the city of Lake Charles are the remains of an abandoned water park . The decaying structures are clearly visible from the busy I-10 freeway and for years drivers have wondered about it's history and why it was left for dead.   The Pirate's Cove Water Park actually has a rather interesting story behind it. A story that has been repeated over and over again, unfortunately, here in Louisiana. It's just another example of how government bureaucracy in this state killed an enterprise before it could ever get off the ground. Construction on the park began in 2008 and it was scheduled to open sometime in 2010. The sprawling complex was envisioned as an oasis from the hot summer heat that would feature luxurious amenities like a 900 foot long lazy river, a giant splash pad for the kids and eventually a five star hotel. The Pirate's Cove would have been an obvious tourist destination that could have brought much needed tax dollars and employment oppo...

Abandoned Louisiana - The Old Hightower Family Home in Dodson

Image
I have to admit that I have been hanging on to these photos for a couple of months now just looking for the right minute to post them. Back in November I was traveling up to El Dorado, Arkansas and I passed through the small town of Dodson. While driving through town my eyes spotted a very attractive old house up on a hill and I just had to stop and take a few photos of it. I honestly don't know the history of this house, but I'm sure some local will send me message telling me all about it (and someone did see the UPDATE ), and it's not as cool as an abandoned railroad locomotive or old movie house but it really spoke to me. I have to wonder about the people who used to live in it and how it ended up in the state it is now. Anyone can see that it was a beautiful house long ago. What happened? How did such a grand residence end up like this? Those are questions that I can't answer unfortunately.  Unfortunately a site like this isn't all that uncommon here in Louisian...
