We left Lafayette looking for one more Cajun meal. On recommendation from a good friend, a newspaperman who knows, we stopped at Boutin’s in Carencro.

Zydeco salad, crabmeat eggplant and bayou rouge, catfish Acadian and fried green tomatoes.

Stuffed to the gills we headed north to Bernice LA, home of Willis Reed and a sweet Yosemite Sam trash barrel. We made a deposit.
