As a kid growing up in BR in the 80s, I thought this was the apex of fine dining.

Loved Giamanco's as a kid in the 80s, and I'll add Phil's when it was on Government. My dad would take me to the bar, drink beer, and down a bunch of oysters. I had my first oyster at that bar.

We would often go before an LSU Football game. Steak, Seafood, or Italian, some of the best in town!

Cock of the Walk had great fried catfish. My boyfriend took me there for a Valentine's Day.

He's been my husband for the last 36 years.
