First time visitor to Lafayette

[CajunAmos]

How much are they? & how big are they running?

My experience with Dwight's is they are always large (select). I think they were about $18 for a 3lb order & it comes with corn & potato's.

Dah? Help me out. What main streets? Want to try it out.

On east vermilion street. Two blocks off Johnson downtown.

Don't be driving around drinking an Octane 190 & ringing one of those cow bells. As liberal as our police can be, that's probably a sure fire trip to the drunk tank.

I had posted this when we were hosting the softball regionals/super-regionals, so I'll just cut/paste without worrying about duplicates maybe listed above.

We love our food in Lafayette Louisiana (as our waistlines can attest). I'll cover just the places in Lafayette rather than the whole surrounding area which would be too large a list to provide. I tried to stay with places fairly close to the park. I also try to avoid chain type places as you can eat there at home.

And in no way am I insisting to any MSU fan that it is ok to drink, drive and RING!

Im just going to leave this here. Lots of people tend to forget about this site if the promo's arent going around but this is a pretty good site for out of towners to reference.

http://www.eatlafayette.com/

The website has a short description of each restaurant, addresses, directions, and menu's.

nothing like a food thread to get the homesick feelings going. Special place.....always will be
