I'm a little upset about a bad dining experience last night.
There's a little place in Madisonville that seems like it would be the perfect seafood restaurant. It's small. The employees look at you weird because they don't know you. They know everybody else in the restaurant by name. Everybody else in the restaurant knows everybody else in the restaurant by name.
Few conversations are limited to one-table involvement.
They carried Abita Turbodog.
This place should have been a homerun.
So Courtney and I sit down. I order a Turbodog and the crabmeat stuffed jalepeno poppers.
For dinner i have the ruby red trout, topped with crab and crawfish, with a salad and a side of roasted potatoes and fresh vegetables.
Two good things i can say about the dinner: the Turbodog was served along with a frosty mug (with a new mug coming with the second beer as well) and the house salad dressing was pretty good.
It is not a good thing when the best thing you can say about a Louisiana seafood restaurant is that it had a good salad dressing.
It's not that the food tasted bad, it's that it didn't taste at all. the fish tasted like the potatoes tasted like the vegetables.
I still held out hope for the bread pudding, though. i love bread pudding, but under one condition: no raisins.
so i ask our waitress (i should add that the staff was extremely helpful and friendly) if the bread pudding comes with raisins.
Yes, she says, raisins and pineapple.
i haven't really thought about how to end this.

so pretty much anywhere north of new orleans then huh?
growing up in south louisiana is a double-edged cane knife (yes, i went there)...
pro: the food is fantastic
con: the food everywhere else pretty much tastes like ricecakes in comparison.
there are actually a couple of good seafood places in Madisonville, this just wasn't one of them.
location wasn't an issue, it's in south louisiana and not far from new orleans. it just sucked.
