We used to schedule an overnight in Lafayette, LA every time we drove to or from Fort Worth to South Florida. Prejeans is for me the essence of Cajun. They had a food booth at this year's NO Jazzfest and nothing could have me happier than to enjoy one more time their extraordinary food.

I was fortunate to work in Louisiana for about 8 months prior to Katrina. We found some holes in the wall that made me happy on every trip.
In La Place (on I-10, just before you start to cross Lake Ponchartrain), there is a little dive called "Bully's" - my first taste of fried catfish in my life, and I was hooked!
In Breaux Bridge (off of I-10, just a few miles east of Lafayette), travel south at the main Breaux Bridge exit a few miles. There is a little tiny shack on the left. We watched 2 elderly women clean shrimp at one of the back tables while we ate a fried basket that was pure heaven.
Everyone raves about ACME Oyster House in the French Quarter, but the lines are very long. Catty-corner across the street is Felix' - the oysters at the oyster bar were plump, cold and delicious. When we were taken to our table, the service was awesome.
