First time visitor to Lafayette

Where is the French Press? What an educational experience.

E. Vermilion across from parc sans souci.

Its the old tribune print shop next to the fire department.

Don't go to Mr. Keets II. They are closed now. hehe.

[Turbine]

People still go there? Haven't been in a loooong time!

I was talking to 2 ladies last night and they were raving about the place.

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

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.

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!
