Occasion: Brunch/ catch up session with my bAbiE Tiff on another day off. 12.28.10

Crawfish Beignet

Always a must when I come here. I just absolutely LOVE it. Served fresh and hot, best on a cold winter day. The cayenne powder did add a kick to it, but it wasn't anything I couldn't handle.  I just took bigger gulps of their watermelon ice tea, which by the way allows for unlimited refills (sweet).

French Toast 

Three thick slices of cinnamon-battered toast, topped with powdered sugar
Top with warm, buttery toasted pecan sauce

Best french toast in the city!! I love how it's drenched with the buttery toasted pecan sauce. Definitely fulfilled the sweet tooth craving.

Fried Shrimp Po'Boy

With chipotle rémoulade on toasted French roll

I've been meaning to try this and was kind of disappointed. Maybe I'm just not a big fan of sandwiches with deep fried fillings.  Definitely over hyped for me.
