re: 1st time to Baton Rouge - must dos

Go to Sullivan’s or Ruth Chris for steak or Parrain’s, Drago’s, Juban’s, or Mike Anderson for seafood. Then go to the Lauberge Casino and lose some money. Leave kinda pissed. You’ll feel like you live there.

Go to Mike Anderson’s and get a dozen chargrilled and a broiled seafood platter.

If not the seafood platter, get the ACE. All you can eat fried catfish on the bone and made fresh to order. It’s not on the menu BUT by request only. Outstanding!

First thing you're gonna want to do is get up with a guy named stanka.

Chimes for college hot or Mike Anderson for alumni hot

Don’t listen to the scary comments.

The ghetto here is all bark and no bite except their own. Just ignore them like all of us do and you’ll be fine.

Food options

Ruth’s Chris. The best of their locations, expensive

Louisiana Lagniappe for seafood. Delicious , expensive

Chow Yum Phat for Asian fusion type place, really good ramens, wings, appetizers , not expensive

Elsie’s , not expensive and very very good. Has something for everyone whether seafood , burger, homemade pot pies, and homemade dessert pies

Mike Andersons , expensive ish but some items are very good. Namely the broiled seafood platter. It’s amazing. Also very good fried shrimp and their entree called The Jason

If you want Italian, go to DiGulios and only DiGulios. Do not take any recommendations for Geno’s.

For the best chargrilled oysters, Drago’s seafood.

All of these places are easy to get to and are in areas of the city where Uber isn’t a problem.

For drinks, Beer Garden is nice but their pints can be ridiculous price. Nice establishment though.

Superior Mexican Grill - good margaritas and a good brunch. Good spot to go the morning of the game at the Highland location. Food is alright but more a pregame hang out or a Friday night drinks and music place.

Chimes on campus has a solid beer selection is a tradition type place.

Smoke grass and have sex with coeds.

Don’t get killed, shot, stabbed, or robbed. Those are the don’t dos

IMO, the easiest way to get in and out of the stadium area is to stay downtown (it is safe and has several nice hotels) and ride the busses (my wife and I have done this for the last 10 years) to and from LSU. Hilton Capitol House, Watermark Hotel, Courtyard, and Hotel Indigo are best options downtown. Hampton Inn and Suites Downtown is good too.

Best eating options are: Louisiana Lagniappe (dinner only), Juban's, Mansur's which are all pricey but high quality. The Little Village Downtown is very good as well. Parrain's on Perkins Road is very good for Louisiana seafood. Do NOT go to Mike Anderson's. It is below average for LA seafood, IMO.

If a drunk white sorority girl wants to hook up at closing time…run, or risk indictment.
