I spent this past weekend in Cecilia, attending the Acadiana
Conclave and banquet on Saturday, and time with my parents on Sunday.
For Sunday lunch, my mom suggested we get plate lunches from Glenda's
Cajun and Creole Kitchen in Poche Bridge.
Although Poche's gets a ton of publicity - and rightfully so - this little gem of a cafe is not to be overlooked by any means. It certainly wasn't by Anthony Bourdain, who has visited Glendas and loves all their home-cooked food.
The Sunday plate lunches included choice of pork roast, BBQ chicken, ribs, sausage, and something else (can't remember), along with 3 sides. For $8. I ordered a pork roast with rice dressing for my parents to split, and one for myself. That single box of food provided three (3) meals! Was it good? Cher, make a bulldog break his chains!
They're only open from 11am to 2pm on weekdays and Sundays, but during Lent they're open until 8pm on Fridays. I saw the catfish plate and it looked awesome. The greater Lafayette area has MANY great places to eat, and now I've found yet another.
