Look for a place that does blackened chicken, or a plate lunch place that has smothered chicken or chicken fricassee, or meatball stew or smothered steak.

Does BR have plate lunch places?

A Chicken Sauce Piquante as good as mine would work. Ive never seen that dish in a restaurant though.

Dempsey's does smothered chicken as the special on Thursdays if you happen to be going tomorrow, OP.

I like to take people from out of town to Chimes. Is he asking for Louisiana food specifically while not being a pork/seafood eater? Or were you just hopeful to show him Louisiana food? Because if it is the latter, I'd just take him somewhere with a good BR/Louisiana vibe and let him get something else. Chimes has plenty non-seafood or pork options.

Fried green tomatoes are very Louisiana and not pork/seafood. Roux 61 has a fried green tomato app, although the cream sauce is bacon so that might be an issue.

I think that will be a little pricey. Will probably need to keep it around $10-$20


Why not take him to Walk On's? It's a good, upbeat place for lunch and your boss will likely be comfortable with your fellow diners and the price point.

I thought about that and nosed around a bit, but unsuccessfully. Grillades and grits was as close as I could get to something truly Louisiana/New Orleans like. The other smothered dish suggestions are good ones.

I'd also seen a fried green tomato dish, but again, the sauce had tasso or pork in it. A fried green tomato poboy sans the bacon was a thought.

Chimes, Beausoleil, Olive or Twist will all have good options.

Report back. I'm curious as to what you choose and how it works out.

If lunch, maybe some BBQ like Smoking Aces. The chicken and brisket are good and right in the middle of your price range.
