The old Cock of the Walk in Lafayette had a moat around it with ducks. You had to walk across a little bridge to get to the front door. It was cool.



I used to love cock of the walk. Will never forget my drunk arse dad and his friends trying to flip the cornbread

Swensen's. Post-Saints game treat back when Hebert was QB'ing us to yet another disappointing playoff loss.

We have a bunch of Big Boys here. I think they're under Elias Brothers. Not sure if Frisch's is still out there.



Yeah I lived in West Bloomfield and there is one we go to all the time in Commerce
