Where Should a LA Tech fan eat in Acadiana?

[Big Buds]

Well, we are tourists you know. What do you suggest? I have a couple of buddies that are hellbent on eating at Prejeans.

Just walk around Cajun Field before the game and you will not leave hungry!

Deano's is always a good post game place

Lafayette has some of the best food in the world and the best we can recommend is a pizza place and a Sonic drive-in?

[CajunAmos]

If you're looking at Cajun food, what actually might work out best would be Fezzo's in Scott. It has great food and may be a little closer to the the stadium for your group.

We ought to permanently pin a restaurant thread during football season.

It would just make life easier for everybody.

It's been a blast ribbing with you guys over the past couple of days! Honestly, I appreciate what's going on at your university. I have a genuine interest in the progress being made, and don't feel threatened by it (like some of our fans). I've stated publicly, numerous times, that I think it's in the best interest of both schools for us to be in same conference (not the Sunbelt). I watch every game I can, and always pull for y'all, unless there is an obvious conflict of interest.

As for the game, I do think LaTech stands a good chance to win. That said, I will not be shocked by being sent home with a loss. If y'all win, it will be hard-earned and deserved.

My party is probably going to each lunch at Prejeans, then we'll check into our hotel and quickly make our way to the stadium. I'd enjoy meeting any of you, and will happily exchange in trashtalk leading up to contest.

As for my banter on here, it's all in good humor--I promise. I wanted to say this because I might have a fairly busy end to the work week, and don't want to leave an inaccurate impression. When all is said and done, we'll contribute to the economy of one of the best cities in the state and have a great time doing so! See y'all Saturday!!!

Eat breakfast to hold you over, get to the field and walk around. You will eat all you can of the best food Lafayette has to offer all around the tailgate area. You won't even have to ask, you will eat until you feel gross.

No offense TC, but you named some of the WORST places in Lafayette. La Pagua? Horrible. Marcellos is iiight.. Ouishi is not close good sushi, much less the best in town.. Guidrys Reef might be the worst one on the list.. Prices are ridiculous for what you get, food average, atmosphere sucks, service is hit or miss..

[TCbacker54]

No offense taken. Different folks, different strokes.

I will say this though: The restaurants I listed's longevity of doing business in this town would beg to differ about being the WORST in Lafayette. We have a pretty good way of weeding out the bad eateries in town. But then again, you put Villager's Cafe on the same level as Olde Tyme

Seriously though, for any of you that have not tried Bon Temps Grill yet, get on it. You will be surprised at the quality of the food and the service, I guarantee it. Every single person I've told about this place, has gone and thanked me the next day. The flavors of their dishes are one of a kind.

I've heard great things about this hidden gem as well, if you are willing to wait. I think I might go this Friday because of your post RC10! If the only bad thing I hear about a restaurant is the wait, they must be stoked to have that problem.
