Made six inch grilled ham and cheese poboys with chips.

Glad that you got to visit one last time before they closed.

Went to Buddies, in Hammond.









The owners of Benteaux are working on another restaurant concept in Ponchatoula. It's going to feature seafood and will be named Maurepas Restaurant. It'll be located in a remodeled space at the front of the building, where Cypress Landing just opened. The building used to be the old event venue located across the street from Rainbow Daiquiris. No idea on the timeline.

Stewed some chicken, with rice and corn. :)

I’ve had one for over thirty years. 40” x 20” cooking chamber with a 20” x 20” firebox. Built a bit stouter than the ones today. Haven’t done a thing to it in all the time that I’ve had it other than cook on it. Start with a chimney of coals, throw a couple of logs on, bring it to temp and then walk out to take a look at it every 45 minutes or so. Poke the fire or throw another log in, when needed.

Makes for a nice day when hanging around the house. :)

Brought my wife out to Texas De Brazil for a celebratory meal, last night! She’s retiring. Kinda hard to get full plate photos when they’re cutting chunks of meat off of skewers and throwing it on your plate as they walk by. I still have the meat sweats! :)

Hamburger steak with gravy and onions, fries and toast. :)

Not sure what the plan is. The Dad was still hanging around during the day, or at least he was doing so a year or so ago. Phil is probably around 80, so I’m sure he’s ready to rest. The son (3rd generation in the restaurant) has primarily been running the restaurant for a while now. He should be in his mid fifties now. Not sure if he wants to take things in a different direction or if he’s just done with the restaurant business. They have rental properties and other business ventures, so maybe he’s just gonna focus on that. All speculation.

I rented an apartment, just behind the restaurant, 45+ years ago. My son cooked at the restaurant around 20 years ago so we go way back. Hate to see them close.
This is their last week and they are closing after 63 years. Hate to see another locally owned restaurant, that’s been around for much of my life, close up shop. Have a bit of history there and we would still go occasionally. Coincidentally, we ate there Saturday night, not knowing they were planning to close. Glad we stopped by.
