Last month, I found myself working from a space downtown and I didn't have any lunch with me. Since it was a beautiful day, I wanted to find somewhere with outdoor seating, so I ended up at Digby's Pub and Patio. The patio feels secluded, despite being in the busiest part of downtown Lafayette. I would have appreciated a little more shade, but I've been fair-skinned long enough … [Read more...]
Dusk Till Dawn Fried Chicken & Seafood

The restaurant was empty when I got there (in fairness, it was just after 2pm, … [Read more...]
Joe’s Pancake House
I've driven by Joe's Pancake House countless times without really taking much notice of it. I mean, with a name that nondescript, it doesn't really jump out at you. But each time I went by, something whispered to me. So recently, I decided it was time to check it out. The building itself is about as generic as you can get — both inside and outside. But it was fairly busy on … [Read more...]
