French Press 1 300x295 Sweet Baby Breesus at the French Press in LafayetteNot long ago I alluded to the fact that the French Press in Lafayette does a dish with boudin and Steen’s cane syrup.  Rumor was the dish was named Breesus something or other…

Low and behold, the Wife and I went to the French Press the other day for Sunday brunch and there it was on the menu- the Sweet Baby Breesus.  The dish sounded even more delectable than I had thought it would be; three buttermilk biscuit sliders with Bacon, Fried Boudin Balls and Steen’s Cane Syrup.  The recommendations for pairing boudin and cane syrup was made the other day by one of our commenters, and the French Press ups the ante by using boudin balls, adding bacon and snuggling it in little buttermilk biscuits.

The result itself certainly did not disappoint: warm biscuits with the perfect amount of crumble, good boudin to bacon ratio, and a side of crispy-edged Breakfast Potatoes to boot.  What could have made this dish better? Nothing.  And for me that is a rare feat…

Aside on the French Press itself: Quickly becoming one of our go to brunch spots, the French Press presents three very different menus depending on the time of day.  With traditional breakfast/brunch and nice spins on great sandwiches all at reasonable prices during the daytime, at night the restaurant changes the menu often if not nightly sourcing only local and fresh ingredients.  With a chef that has Stella on his resume, the French Press is a fast riser in the LAF food scene and a great addition to downtown.
