re: Stroud's Steakhouse in Lafayette

Yep.
Mid-90's (94-95?) The soon to be Mrs. Awesome-turned-Awesomer, had our rehearsal dinner there.
Prior to that, we had eaten there (Blair House) for Valentine's Day. There was a barbershop quartet in there singing that romantic quartet shite. Nice touch, I tell ya.
This place was a Lafayette classic, but it died with it's older clientelle and all the development on the southside.
Not quite a Tony Angello's kind of place, but very close.

I was all excited about a steak place based on the title. what a disappointment.

My ribeye from Jolie's was really really tasty. It was the first time I ever enjoyed the fat in my mouth.
However, I'm not a steak snob, I'll eat any piece of medium rare steak you put in front of me.

a very infrequent return. don't get your hopes up. probably just f&d and m&tv now.
schools over so there's no danger in procrastination fricking up my work ethic.

They are better than the mexican stuff served. (in case you haven't seen, a partial pic of you was on the OT today)

i'm a total snob about mexican too, it's by far my absolute favorite and it's been really disappointing that we can't find a decent mexican place in lafayette.
lafondas is too crowded, loud, and just not worth it.
