Burger Barn in Olla Louisiana
If you every travel through Olla a stop at the Burger Barn is a must. You will always find the place filled with locals chatting about the high school football game or some other area gossip. I often like to just sit quietly and listen to all the conversations going on around me. Not that I want to eavesdrop on something personal internationally mind you, instead I just like to be reminded of the quaintness of small town life here in America.
Casa Ole' in Sulphur Louisiana
The service was great, my waitress was very sweet and polite. As I said the food came out super fast and the price was really reasonable. Actually just a little more than I would have paid if I had decided just to swing through a burger joint. I did, of course, have one of their lunch specials. Had I opted for a full meal I would have paid a little more, but still very reasonable.
If your traveling through the Lake Charles area I recommend detouring off the I-10 in Sulphur and giving Casa Ole' a try.
Fatboy & Skinny's in Leesville Louisiana
The staff at Fatboy & Skinny's were fun, cheerful and great to talk to. That is one of the real charms of interacting with people from this region of the country. They are almost always open, honest and refreshingly down to earth. You could really sense that this restaurant was something that they really loved. The smiles on their faces told a story that didn't need words to tell it.
If you are passing through Leesville you absolutely have to eat at Fatboy & Skinny's!
There is just something magical about a fresh doughnut that melts in your mouth and Krispy Kreme has built a food empire on providing their customers just that. Each location has an in-house doughnut factory where the food comes straight out of the oven and right into the box. You just have to make sure that the signature 'Hot Light' is lit and you can be assured that the food you are about to eat is as hot and fresh as it can be.

There are few times in ones life that you get a chance to eat like a Roman Senator or King Henry the 8th and Friday night was my chance. Indeed to get the full experience of The Melting Pot you need to be in for the long haul because what you are about to partake in is a full four-course meal.

Pedro's Tacos & Tequila in Alexandria Lousiana
Ray's Drive In - Lufkin Texas
I have to tell you that the food was absolutely delicious. Everything on my burger was hot, fresh and the cheese was delightfully melted. The fries likewise were fried to a perfect golden-brown crispness. I could tell that my wife was in heaven from the first bite of her patty melt. She commented that 'finally some one made her sandwich the way she liked it." For some reason no one here in Louisiana can make one to her satisfaction but Ray's nailed it. Likewise the onion rings were made the way my wife loves. The breading was light and flaky. She ate every bit of it.
I had the Dynamite Shrimp Tacos and they were as advertised - simply dynamite. The shrimp was glazed with the restaurant's signature Dynamite Sauce which is flavorful with just enough pop yet not too spicy. The addition of cabbage om top reminded me of the famous Baja fish tacos I enjoyed on the West Coast.

Flying Heart Brewing in Natchitoches Louisiana
Our experience at Flying Heart was something wonderful indeed. We started with the Pretzel Bites that were served with delicious Black Heart Infused Cheddar Sauce and HWY 80 Infused Ale Mustard. For the main course I chose the Carnitas Pizza by Jared which was topped with Salsa Verde, Ranch, Mozzarella, Pork Carnitas, White Onions, Cilantro and Chipotle Cheddar. I have to tell you that it was an amazing fusion that satisfied both my love of Mexican Food and my love of Pizza. I honestly can't recommend this one enough, it was absolutely delicious.
Jersey Mike's in Baton Rouge
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.

The first time I had the Puffed Tacos and today I went with a simple combination plate of an enchilada, tamale, taco and refried beans. Both meals were simply delicious and I highly recommend them. The one thing that both my wife and I really love is their salsa. Any Mexican Food lover will tell you that a good cup salsa with chips can make or break any dinning experience. You may think of it as a free appetizer, but it sets up the pallet for the main meal to come. A bland unflavorful salsa sets a bad tone for your eating experience. If the salsa is really blah, it's a good bet the rest of the food will be as well.

Royal India Bistro in Alexandria Louisiana
Tonight I ordered The Chef's Special Chicken Curry and a side of the Pesto Naan and it was nothing short of delicious. I tore through that plate of chicken curry and rice like a man who had been eating nothing but coconuts on some deserted island for the last half decade. I only put my fork down long enough to stuff my face with the naan. My diet soda only served as a lubricant to get one bite down so I get another shoveled in.
I'm not normally prone to such an eating orgy, but the food was just that good.

Honestly we were quite delighted with the whole dining experience. The ambiance inside is just as retro and cool as the outside. The serving staff was cheerful, polite and helpful. The food came quickly and was absolutely wonderful. The prices were very reasonable for a trendy place like this.
My wife had a hamburger and fries that she couldn't stop raving about. I had the fish tacos and they were absolutely delicious.
