Frostop for burgers, po boys, and what else… ROOT BEER!

photo 150x150 Frostop for burgers, po boys, and what else... ROOT BEER!Driving home from work I was thinking of what I was going to eat for dinner (as usual).  Not having a whole lot of time to cook anything, I wanted to pick up something in a hurry. Frostop came to mind because I know I can never go wrong with a Lot-o-Burger!

I remember heading to Frostop in Thibodaux with my parents when I was a little girl, back when it was on the bayou-side next to The Rinky-Dink.  For as long as I can remember, I’ve been ordering the Lot-o-Burger Special with cheese…large beef patty dressed with Frostop’s special blend of mayo and mustard, lettuce, tomato, chopped onions, and cheese (which is optional, although I’m not so sure why).  Heaven.  Juicy, delicious, and always cooked to perfection.photo 1 225x300 Frostop for burgers, po boys, and what else... ROOT BEER!

We all know about the Lot-o-Burgers…. so onto other items of goodness.  While waiting in line to place my order, I noticed something on the counter and got curious.  Getting closer, I see Uncle T’s tea cookies! YUM!  There is “old-fashioned goodness in every bite”!  I have to admit that I couldn’t even wait to get home to try my dessert; I ate 1/2 of one of the cookies while waiting for my order. Soft, fluffy, scrumptious, and made right here in Thibodaux!  You can find Uncle T’s tea cookies in various places around town: Rouse’s grocery stores and a few other convenience stores.

Always ordering the famous burger, I decided to go with something “new” for a change.  Boy am I glad I did!  The roast beef poboy is amazing!  Who even knew there was anything other than the burgers available?  I got home, opened the wrapper, rolled up my sleeves (seriously…this step is a must, unless you want gravy seeping into your shirt sleeves!).  It probably rivals Bowzer’s experience at the Goal Post in Raceland as far as the number of napkins needed goes.

Shredded beef, lettuce, mayo, tomato, flooded with gravy on a piece of French bread. While most would agree that poboys are best made on Leidenheimer bread, this was still fabulous!  My mouth is watering just thinking about it again!

Lets not forget that ordering a frosty mug of Frostop’s root beer is a must.  It would be some sort of blasphemy to dine in or take out and not have the root beer as a companion.  It’s so good, that many times one glass won’t be enough.

So – next time you’re in a hurry looking for something to chow down on, head to Frostop’s new location on Canal Boulevard in Thibodaux – you won’t be let down!  You can also enjoy at other Louisiana locations in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, LaPlace, Raceland, and Houma to name a few.  Trust me, the big mug is hard to miss.

Burger Day

Okay, those are pics of another burger.  Another burger that I ate last night after having one for lunch.  No, I did not intend to have cheeseburgers for lunch and dinner, but this was happy surprise nonetheless.

I was watching the ponies at Evangeline Downs with my male in laws.  One was bringing back some drinks and asked if I at dinner yet, to which I responded no, and he replied “good I ordered you a burger.”

So after talking earlier in the day about the lack of grease in the Southside burger, this bovine greasebomb does the trick.  While the burger itself could use the spice, the bun, cheese, and burger combine to make a tasty melty package.  Strangely enough, the bun was actually a lot like Southside’s, with that Hawaiian roll thing going on.

I started yesterday with the intention to eat one burger, not two.  Life, as it seems had other plans, and as my father-in-law said when he hit a trifecta for a nice payout: “that’s awesome man.”

Southside Bakery burgers

 Southside Bakery burgers

The wife and I did lunch at Southside Bakery in Lafayette today. The place bakes their own breads for their homemade burgers and hot dogs. The bun is kind of like a semi-sweet Hawaiian roll; light, springy and oh so good. If you don’t look at the picture hard enough, you may not notice that I went for the wheat version, same taste more fiber right?

The burger is thick and super juicy. If you’re looking for a greasy burger though, you might better off over at Judice Inn, but if you want a burger dripping with it’s own juices and thicker than most that you get in Acadiana, then Southside is for you.

The Perfect Meal: Southside burger, Zapps, and King Cake

 Southside Bakery burgers

I have to admit, I kind of went healthy here and got the turkey burger, but it was awesome. Next time though, I’ll be getting the homemade foot-long covered in chili, cheese, onions, and banana peppers. I did make up for it some with a side of king cake and Zapps potato chips.

Also, as the name implies, this place has some great baked goods. Cookies, cakes, petit fours… it’s all good at Southside Bakery. If going for lunch however, be warned, it’s a tablegrab at noon.
