Lived in LC for a year and a half. LC does not deserve the hate it gets on here. Especially Darrell's. It may not be a "traditional" poboy, but it's still damn good.

When I lived in LC, someone told me that Darrell started selling poboys as a front for his bookie operation. I wonder if that's true.

Thanks for the recs. I went off Cajun Ninja's recipe. It came out thicker than it looked in his video. Great comfort food for the cold weather.

Trying to tackle some simple recipes and boost my confidence in kitchen.

Rocco's. Owner is from Nola.

At what cost?

Marie Sharps's

Izzo's and Voodoo BBQ deliver food on game days.

It's Cajun Chili's, but it's a decent spot for a burger and beer.

Bouligny Tavern

It's such a subjective question man. I don't think there is a right or wrong answer. All depends on what you like/want from a place.

I've lived in Baton Rouge, Natchitoches, Lake Charles, New Orleans, and Covington. All of those towns have qualities I like, and I do not hate any of them. However, in my opinion the Northshore has been the best overall.

The area is not really a food destination but there are some solid restaurants.

Ridgewood BBQ is a bit of a drive but it has good bbq. Machiavelli's has some decent Italian. If you want something sweet, I enjoyed Blackbird Bakery.

If you're looking for things to do, I would recommend touring the NASCAR track, even if you aren't a fan it's an interesting facility. I'd also recommend a stroll down state street.

For beer, there's the Holston River Brewing Company and the Bristol Station Brews & Taproom. Honestly though, if you want breweries, I would recommend just making the drive to Asheville.
