Downtown eat @ Luna, Blue Dog,1910, Tia Juanita's. Across from Luna is Luna Live which has good music. Down from St. Patrick's Hospital is 121 Artisan Bistro-also very good. By the lake off interstate Steamboat Bill's has good seafood. South Lake Charles-- good plate lunches from Nina P's or Hackett's.

We are getting a super Kroger off of Nelson by the end of the year. For my sausage & specialty meats I go
to Rabideaux's in Iowa & buy the sausage there. They also have stuffed roasts, chickens etc. I love their smoked boudin & cracklins.

We have the Waitr app, now a lot of restaurants are on there. Delivery to your door. It's great, especially while stuck @ work. There is a new legit Italian restaurant on Nelson- La Voglia( not a chain). New butcher shop off Country Club called Prime Cuttery. Nice fresh cuts of meat & one of the best burgers. Also good poboys too.

Lake Charles is growing a lot. I'm Cajun & don't get the country insults about LC. I lived in Monroe for college & that made me appreciate LC. Just give it a chance

City Market is a new meat market on Michael deBakey with good sandwiches, salad bar, small market and good cuts of meat. Cool building too.

Have you lived anywhere else in south LA beside LC? If yes, then you would realize why people say this. I think anyone who's been to North LA realizes how much better any other place in the state is, outside of hunting / fishing, which isn't really relevant to the "country insults" about LC. Lots of south LA folks view Texas the same as ULL students view LSU. Just a big hatred because the former views the latter as pretentious, but in reality the latter just loves his school / state a lot. LC has a lot of Texas influence, so that's where the insults come from.
