Yup! Hymel's finally went up on some prices, but still quite a bargain for a huge bowl of bisque that tastes like you remember!EatinAintCheatin wrote:Bon Ton is $8.50 for a small cup
Hymel's is $12.95 (I think) for a large bowl. Used to be $8.95, right?
We're down there often but will be in Jesuit Bend for Father's day. There's only a few places to eat below Lockport. I highly recommend The Balcony on LA1 in Larose. It's a stone's throw from where my wife grew up and her parents still live there. If you go get the seafood gumbo, fried shrimp, stuffed whole flounder. And ironically, they do a pretty damn good filet mignon.Jeeves wrote:Yup! Hymel's finally went up on some prices, but still quite a bargain for a huge bowl of bisque that tastes like you remember!
BTW, Mrs. Fury and I are planning Lower Lafourche expeditions if you and the Mrs. are gonna be down there soon.
Nah! Not gonna happen anytime soon. I just checked with the bartender! LOL!TulaneRebel wrote:I heard Hymel's was closing down due to some type of industrial project being built in its vicinity...hopefully no truth to that rumor.
guess I'm spolied. we used to go crawfishing w/my grandparents in the spillway and beyond and come back to Norco and purge then binge! they had a baby pool that we filled up w/our catch to ceremonioulsy cleanse those mudbugs. cleaning was not much fun as I remember. but then we had the tabletop meat grinder for the crawfish meat that we used to crank in great anticipation of my grandmother's seasonings for the stuffing of the heads. our bowls always had double rows of heads on the rim. could never get enough of that good stuff. good times!Jeeves wrote:EC, you can still line the rim of your generous size bowl of crawfish bisque with empty, sucked out heads at Hymels in Convent, LA.
Wow. We were talking about that tonight on the deck, but the hood was Algiers Pernt. Just about every corner had a bar, and a Italian Market. My elderly neighbor was telling the story of how one mom would send the kids out to find which bar dad was in. They could always tell, because you had to leave the dog outside, so wherever the dog was by the front door, well, dad would be in that bar.Jeeves wrote:A family crawfish bisque project was a wonder to behold. Perfect harmony, everyone comfortable at their assigned tasks coming together to produce a work of art. And then calling daddy and the uncles at Huerstel's (or Bud Rip's or Markey's Bar) to come home and eat. Bywater memories by Jeeves.
HA HA!!! The ole tabletop meat grinder is what we use on oysters to make oyster dressing! I still have ours, it it's original box. It was a Keystone model. It sits on the top shelf of the pantry, which I see every time I open the door. Bought this one at Langston's in Port Sulphur a few years before Betsy. Price? It is written on the box in pencil...$4.95!!!!!!edible complex wrote: but then we had the tabletop meat grinder for the crawfish meat that we used to crank in great anticipation of my grandmother's seasonings for the stuffing of the heads.
Oceana Cafe is the new-ish place in GM, run by employees of the late, lamented Randolph's Restaurant. The menu is full of bayou favorites, and the housemade andouille salad dressing is delicious. Also in GM, Rosie's Cafe dishes out diner food that's worth a visit. For a brief period, GM had a nice little taqueria, but it has since relocated to West Main in Houma, not too far up bayou Terrebonne from Terrebonne High School. Harry's Poboys on LA 308 in Larose, just north of the Intracoastal bridge, has very good roast beef, but it's only open for lunch M-F.EatinAintCheatin wrote:.
Hey HungryOne..... I know you could name the other places. The truck stop and the relatively new place in Golden Meadow...
