Last night’s meal at Mexcal Mexican Restaurant was excellent! I’d never heard of a dish like this before but all the ingredients sounded really good, it did not disappoint!……Broussard Choice

Today we brought lunch to the Gator's on the Atchafalaya basin swamp tour. Here's a big one coming in for a first course.

Now being joined by the krewe.

Sweet revenge - gator bites at lunch

This morning most of the group did a swamp tour in nearby Henderson, La. about a 30 minute drive from the hotel. Couldn’t have had better weather, it was gorgeous!

Pretty sure I had one of his brothers for lunch today.

We had lunch at Turtle’s Bar and grill, right there next to the swamp tour. The food was pretty darn good!

Alligator bites…..

The chicken and sausage gumbo was good as well…

Oyster po-boy was not bad!

Last night, as Panhead John posted, we ate at Mezcal Mexican Restaurant. I got the Broussard Choice as did PJ, Bill Purc, and CaptainMike.

This was a blend of meats and veggies with a sauce all cooked and served in an extremely hot Molcajete (45 minutes later and it was still too hot to touch). OMG, was this good! It would easily feed two people.

All four of us were sitting together

Today at Vermillionville Acadian Village we ate at their restaurant La Cuisine de Maman. Like Bill Purc , I got the special: Catfish Courtbouillon served with chicken and sausage gumbo, Maque Choux, fried shrimp, and a honey biscuit. I also had a beer brewed on site: Vermillionville Brewhouse Sackabilly Brew, a sweet potato beer. Everything was excellent. I tasted the bread pudding too and it was exquisite. This was a pleasant surprise and one of the better meals that I have had.

As most of you know, I’m pretty well known for my musical talents. After dinner tonight, the gang wanted me to perform one of my greatest song and dance routines that the world has ever known. I reluctantly agreed, as I generally don’t like to show off. Here I am in the hotel lobby.

My dinner at The Cajun Table was shrimp and grits. I've had better.

**Panhead John** · October 25, 2025, 06:54 AM

The aforementioned Cajun Table. I had the fried shrimp platter. The shrimp were good and had a nice seasoning on them, but they were fried in a cornmeal batter…..I prefer a breaded style batter. Okra was my side and they were average at best. They looked to have been cooked a little too long. No pics so I guess I’m really just lying to y’all…..🥸

At the Cajun Table with the group. Had the fried everything platter, fried ocra, appetizer of another fried shrimp crab cakes and a cup of chicken/sausage Gumbo. All shared with the group. The fried catfish was the best part of the meal. Lightly breaded and deep fried perfectly with the fish moist and flavorful.
