Live band at my tailgate spot Saturday
Going to be watching at home. I have some family members coming over and will probably cook. The good thing is every bar in town will be playing the game tonight. This weekend is going to be difficult for me as I will be at Free Press all weekend so I'll be watching some baseball on my phone looks like, terrible timing I know.
This is my first time a FPSF but with all the weather this week, it is not going to be fun. I am a HUGE Jack White fan (hints my user name) and live close by so I bought tickets as soon as he was announced but I have a feeling my girl and I will be in for a loooong weekend. Not to mention I wouldn't be able to sale my tickets if I tried.
Well, my first day was a rousing success, foodwise.
We wound up at Agave by the stadium. My buddy that made the trip and I both love Mexican food (who doesn't, right?) so it was an easy choice.
When I saw shrimp and crawfish chimichanga, that was an even easier choice. Those are three of my favorite things, and the combination did not disappoint. (My friend got a beef burrito, and said it was just average.)
For supper we wound up at Prejean's. I had my doubts, based on some negative comments in this thread and a so-so urbanspoon score but we tried it out anyway, partly because it's what my sister-in-law really wanted.
We had a FEAST. Between the Tout Que' Chose and our entrees we sampled frog legs, alligator, crawfish tails, shrimp, fried mushrooms, crawfish boudin balls, étouffée, crAwfish cornbread pie, crawfish bisque, duck/andouille gumbo, the pepper jack shrimp (awesome, thanks for that rec) and fried oysters along with maque choux and rice dressing. I enjoyed all of it except the maque choux and rice dressing.
My brother, a less adventurous diner, got the ribeye and twice-baked potato and his reviews were positive.
Now, my positive review aside, I can see how someone would not enjoy it. If we hadn't been sampling everything in the world and really had to focus on one or two items, our experience might have been different. I hardly touched my side items, and if we hadn't had the sampler I probably would have left hungry. All in all we spent $40/person after tip and for that, some people might have expected everything on the table to be 5-star perfect. I know people who I would recommend it to and others I'd advise to go elsewhere. It was definitely touristy and we four tourists enjoyed it.
Still have to hit up Olde Tyme and Fat Pat's, as well as find time to check out Deano's. I think we're going to hit up French Press either this morning or tomorrow for breakfast.
My dad and two 12-year old nephews are coming in to town today, so we'll probably have a big crowd at least once. Anywhere in particular we should avoid with a group?
