For folks who might be heading to Baton Rouge (a football game in November looms large, maybe), ARTiger (aka Tonya Smith) provides an entry in our reader photo contest for a couple of her favorite places. Her report:

I went to the motherland - Baton Rouge - this weekend for a family birthday party.

Brought back two places for Razorback fans to visit when they go to red stick for the game after Thanksgiving - Louie's, on State Street near LSU, and Fleur de Lis, on Government near the Jefferson intersection. Both restaurants are long-time family favorites.

Louie's specialty (at top)  is loaded hash browns. Their omelets are great also.

Fleur de Lis (below) specializes in pizza - the BEST!!! I can't find anything like it in Baton Rouge with thin crust, light on the sauce and lots of toppings. Stick with the Around the World.

My question: What's the latest on my BR favorite from the 1960s -- the Pastime Lounge. I think it's still in business. I guess the Three Coins, memorable to me for a variety of reasons, is long gone.

For those with a hankering for beignets and Cafe Au Lait, there is the Coffee Call. It is two blocks on the right, past the Albertson's, tucked back in a corner of the next shopping center (I think there is an Office Depot there also) on College.

Mike Anderson's is wonderful for seafood! Also, there is Mulate's for Cajun food and a little two stepping Zydeco music. If you are a single, there are always partners. The waiters dance.
The buffets at the casinos are marginal. at best.
This topic makes me want to travel back to Cajun Country. I don't want to see the masacre at Death Valley, I want beignets and cafe au lait!
What a shame we don't have a good cajun restaurant here with the invasion of LA folks after Katrina. It could be a goldmine of a restaurant!

On the evening of July 20, a concerned aunt drove her 26-month-old nephew to a Department of Human Services office in Little Rock to show caseworkers the bruises on his buttocks and back. The child had been spending the night at his aunt's when she changed his diaper and discovered the marks. /more/
