Back In Time

Gourmet salads! In Opelousas! Been in LA for almost a month, badly in need of a vegetable. Some divine combination of malnutrition and intuition made me turn around and go back in this tiny place, hoping for as much as a Caesar salad, opened the menu, blew my mind. Got the awards-winning Grapes of Wrath with sweet and sour dressing. I’m a new man. Excellently blended flavors. Looks as good as it tastes. Worth the accolades. Don’t get me wrong, the cuisine here has been a high point of the visit (second only to the people) but a man can’t live on meat pies, sausages in a doughnut, and crab cakes for breakfast alone. I’ll be working my way through this menu and taking some of this dressing (and local honey!) back to Tennessee.

I love this cafe. Ms Wanda goes above and beyond making sure her food is fresh in impeccably prepared. The staff are wonderful and friendly. It's not a quick pick something up kind of place, but the experience is calming, and the decor will take you "back in time". Besides if you're in a hurry, just call ahead and give them a few before you drive by💖
