Joe’s Dreyfus Store Restaurant, or Joe Dreyfus’ in local language, is just one of those places. You know, THOSE places. The places that you love to go through thick and thin, good dishes and bad, for better or for worse. Set in Livonia, about a half-mile off of 190 between Opelousas and Baton Rouge, Joe’s has had some rough patches in the past. The restaurant has gone through changes of ownership, changing hours of operation, and tidal changes of food quality. Joe’s is back though, and the little restaurant that could in the middle of nowhere is once again beckoning: Eat at Joe’s!

Aaahhh Pastime. The place is a veritable Baton Rouge and LSU institution. Tucked in a small corner underneath the Mississippi River bridge, the Pastime Restaurant and Lounge has served up great food for years. There are several methods by which you could tell you were in the Pastime even in your eyes were closed:
1. you have to write your order on little pieces of paper waiting on the counter,
2. you get your food when your name is called loudly but barely intelligibly over a PA system,
3. you move the plate on which your roast beef poboy sits and you feel the trail otherwise known as “the smear.”
You have to love a place that gives you a discount if you have the guts to mention your receding hairline. No really, I subscribe to Roberto’s newsletter and what popped into my inbox? This thing:
