When I am in Monroe, I generally hit either Cotton or Trapp's depending on my mood.

Fat Pelican, best food/chef in Monroe


Hardly.

First time there a year or so ago it was the best food I've ever had in Monroe. Never has come close since.

Finally just walked out last time, swore to never go back. This was about a month ago.

Back in the day, Josey and I would never leave for a weekend at the camp without a pan of Danken Trail beans. Every time I go back home, I make it a point to make a stop by Danken for a meal. I can’t get damn fine beans in South LA.

They’re good beans, but a notch or two below Padnuh’s.

No way. Danken’s beans are second to no bean.
