Why is that every golf photo has to feature bunkers and water hazards? For just for fun amateurs like me, we want something that invites us to play. I need all the help that I can get. I’d rather see perfect lush greens to help my putting and immaculate emerald fairways to help my approach shots. Come on, give us amateurs a break please?
Pete, that is what this area features as it is along the bayou and marshy areas. I just wrote about what was there and their features. There are people who golf who like the fact that courses feature the natural geography, topography and climate. The golf here represents the area. These courses were quite playable even with the water features and bunkers.
Where does the name po’boys come from? Is it a poor boy’s lunch or am I over-simplifying it?
This appears to have started in the 1800s, with the original being fried oysters on a french loaf. During a 1929 strike, street car workers were handed these sandwiches because they were on strike and needed lunch. Then the sandwich morphed into its’ current form and variations.
To me the Blue Dog Cafe seems like a Dead Cert nailed-on winner. Cajun Food is one of those good-time cuisines that always seems to with fun and laughter, maybe that’s just the spirit of the Deep South. As far as I understand it any eaterie that can tell a story with its food, especially if it is local story, is going to pull the punters in. People need food and they love stories. Stir in a touch of the supernatural and they will be queueing up.
I totally agree with that, I love the sound of cajun food and that modern, lighthearted vibe. As a tourist, I’m always game for a good story and something a little unusual!
The Deep South is well known for its hospitality and it seems that the Seafood Palace meets and greets very well, its a nice touch to get a personal welcome from the owner.
Scary sounding supernatural werewolf dogs, yet the paintings of them look so cute! I love the sound of that place, it’s more my style with cajun food, modern and laid back atmosphere, quite colourful and a little different to the norm. A stop off for some Bayou Rum is a definitely must; is there any kind of visitors centre for the company with tours and tastings?

Blue Dog is closed down out of business. They were good I thought. I was disappointed that they closed.
