re: Hal the Cajun Lady Accent
Posted by bdevill on 1/7/26 at 2:29 pm to Missouri Waltz
One of Gris Gris's and my last conversations was about Hal the Cajun Lady Accent and her gravy making technique. Hal the Cajun Lady knows how to brown meat to make a gravy. Her Creole Zydeco seasoning browns meat like nothing else..
Her accent is definitely not fake. We're from the same area of the world and I know people that talk like dat. Especially after they have a few beers in them and I'm sure she has one or two in her while she's cooking.
She speaks very uneducated and unpretentious Cajun and it doesn't bother me one bit.

I think a lot of people feel exactly the same as you and I can say for sure, that having a job that affords me the ability to eat more contributed entirely to my weight gain. And eating out of happiness will get you in the exact same point that eating out of a desire to feel loved, or excessive stress will.
I congratulate you on your introspection. It's a huge deal. You're doing great, imho. Keep going.
Actually sounds pretty cool.

info on The Tunnel
Why is it named The Tunnel?
Food triggers endorphins and he may derive pleasure from food intake, that triggers his pleasure sensors. It sounds similar to a drug addict that takes drugs to feel good.
He might seek food as a source of comfort.
I feel for this guy.. He needs to get to a doctor and test his blood sugar and glycogen levels. I'd bet something like Monjauro would benefit him. I've seen miracles happen from this therapy.
But he's got to get to a doctor to get help. Best of luck to him.
I'm gonna go with my favorite from 2025. I went to Washington DC for work and asked for references here. There were several great ones but the best was Filomena in Georgetown. The place was decorated for Halloween and it was incredible. The pasta was homemade and delicious.. but what really blew me away was the dessert. I had a Macadamia Nut White Chocolate Cheesecake that was probably the most delicious bite of dessert I've ever had. It was light and fluffy and not overly sweet.. just enough to make you want more.
I'll never forget the generosity of this board, sharing those incredible rec's with me. It was very special.

Went to POC once, wasn’t close to the best.
It's a good hamburger and damn good baked potato. The atmosphere though, to me, is by far one of the best in the Quarter. The juke box and the vibe are legendary and a great place to sit in the air conditioning and nurse a hangover.
re: Andouille Sausage…help.

Iverstine's in Baton Rouge has good tasso. Also Ronnie's on Florida Blvd has good tasso. Ronnie's is very spicy hot.
The best tasso in my opinion is at LeJeune's Sausage Kitchen in Eunice but they're not open on Saturday.
Bubba's tasso at the Mowata Store on Hwy 13 between Crowley and Eunice is very good.
Also if you're in the Eunice area, stop by Ardoin's Sausage Kitchen on Laurel Avenue in Eunice. Their boudin is excellent.
If you like boudin with a little more liver, Dez Meaux's in Opelousas at 720 E Vine st is excellent.
If you're stopping at Billy's try their new Jambalaya Balls. They're awesome.

re: Cajun Rice Dressing
Posted by bdevill on 12/17/25 at 7:33 am to Big Chipper
1 lb Ground Pork
1 ½ lb Ground Beef
1 Onion chopped
½ Bell Pepper
1 Clove Garlic
1 Stalk Celery
Sprig of Cutting Celery (if you don't have cutting celery you can use the greens from the celery or leave out)
Salt/Pepper/Red Pepper Mix
Lipton Cup of Soup 2 pks
1 Cup of Chicken Broth
Tablespoon of chopped fresh Italian Parsley
3 cups Cooked White Rice (cooked the night before)
Brown the meat in a Dutch oven, then move the meat to the side and added the vegetables, expect for the parsley and cook til they're soft.
Mix the meat and the vegetables together and add the broth packets and liquid and bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes on med fire. Stirring occasionally to prevent from sticking.
Gradually add the white rice til you have the meat/rice ratio you like. Mix til well combined, turn off the fire and sprinkle the parsley on top and cover the pot til you're ready to serve.
Maybe you contacted e. coli.. or... maybe you just got the bad oyster.
Damn.. sorry you got sick. you don't hear of bad oysters in the very cool months.
Where'd the oysters come from? Were they raw?

I had a burger at Frankie's Dawg House off Perkins near the Overpass and the hamburger meat tasted rotten.. like it had been sitting in the refrigerator, uncovered for months. :yack:
The interior of the place looks like a shanty in the Dominican Republic. I should've know.

I haven't been in a minute but my favorite restaurant in the city is Union Square Cafe
It's farm to table. Their produce comes fresh from the farmers at the Union Square Farmer's Market. The baked duck is outstanding.

re: Pastalaya with leftover turkey and ham…thoughts?
Posted by bdevill on 12/4/25 at 8:40 am to Kingshakabooboo
I've been thinking about the turkey pastalaya and it has potential to be a Thanksgiving leftover classic. I would add leftover turkey gravy to the veggies, to make a sauce and combine with the meats.
Out of curiosity, what type of pasta are you planning to use?

The water in New York City comes from the Catskills, upstate. I don't know specifically if the mineral content is different from Baton Rouge water, but the crust may translate differently if they use Baton Rouge water (which is also very good) to make the dough.
It'll also be interesting to see how they franchise out. And I hope they do very well.

I learned about these two years ago at French Quarter Fest when my sciatica was killing me. The only people in the shop on Bourbon were retirees attending the festival, who also had aches and pains and these drinks really helped them.
