Blue Orleans!!!!

We went tonight, it was like a transporter to another place/time/dimension. Abita beer three ways...:drink:. Good enough for many to stick around right there! I had an oyster po-boy, and lemee tell you, one whiff and I knew this was the real deal...oysters breaded with cornmeal, hot outta the grease, dressed and served on Gambino's French bread...are you KIDDING ME!:drool: Oh wait, on the side I had a cup of Blue Runner red beans and rice with a homemade touch :clap: Early in the meal I found out coonass was from Chackbay (what, never heard of it?:idontno: ), and we talked a good long while after I threw out the name of his hometown's most famous son. What an interesting guy.:clap: So anyway, after dinner they brought me the check, and good old coonass was kind enough to send out an order of beignets on the house, just as good as any I have ever had:bow: Coonass, you are the best, may you prosper, and know that we will be back many times over!

Best breakfast around Skunky! Do the "Swamp Special" big bowl of half red beans and rice half jambalaya with two eggs on top cooked how you like 'em. MMMMMMMMMMMM! FFF lives there every morning. Love the coffee with chickory and beignets. Lil' FFF loves the fresh pancakes. Occasionally they have steak for breakfast with potatoes. Delecious!

There is a daily blue plate special for lunch. Always very good! Try the meatloaf.

"Gator" is the best! How funn is he?! 😀

Top of the the hill in Blue Mountain on 30A. Across from Health of It, Big Daddy etc.

If you hit Sally's gas station you've gone too far west, if you pass the burnt out Nick's, too far east!
