Cindy and I don't get to New Orleans very often. Usually it's for
conferences. But the last time we went together, we *did* drive out to
Lafayette for some Cajun food. I can't remember where we ate.

The food in N.O. may be tourist-ified, but it's still possible to find
better stuff than what passes for Cajun or Creole in most other cities.

Here's hoping that the Gulf Coasters can get back on their feet soon.
