I’ve been wanting to stop by this place for a LOOOOONG time but, ya know… life. I was aimlessly driving down airline and thought “I wonder where exactly this place is??” And before I could grab my phone to look it up, I saw the sign! If you saw my SUV on two wheels today, I don’t know what to tell you other than it was an emergency turn!

This place is SPOTLESS. She could have dropped something on the floor and I would have told her to just put it in the bag anyway. Everything looked so good and I wish rent wasn’t due in a couple days or else I would have really indulged. I destroyed the huge chocolate croissant on the way to pick my kid up from school. It was so buttery and flakey. There was literal butter oozing from between the 1,000 layers. Amazing.

The little dainty butter cookies were like a tiny taste of the most indulgent shortbread cookies. Like a coveted 100 year old recipe passed down generations. The puff corn… I didn’t even know such a thing existed nor did I know how badly I needed it in my life. 11/10. Both items packaged with a dainty little ribbon which made getting into the package that much more special. I love little touches like that! I also got a carrot cake cup and a tiramisu for the boyfriend and kiddo. I’ll definitely go out of my way to come here again. You should also.

Sugar - up
Spirits - more upper

I’ll die happy.

I saw this new place being advertised on the 318 eats page. Zona Fresh Mex. I was in the area and wanted to get the chilaquiles for breakfast but my errand ran over and 10:30 is lunch in my brain. We walked into a warm greeting but that’s where the customer service ended. I asked if I could get three different meats for the three tacos and was told they would charge me for each meat. I think she used the term “double charge” because I questioned why I’d be double charged when I’m not getting double meat. One employee said “that’s just the way management told us to do it” She then said “does that make sense?” To which I replied “no”. Then I’m assuming the manager came up front and started making my order after telling me I could in fact, get three different meats. The girl on the tortilla press asked corn or flour and the manager said “corn”. I gave him a look and said “flour actually” as the menu states it’s your choice. I wanted to try the chicken Al pastor but it wasn’t ready. No biggie. I got the regular chicken, steak and barbacoa.

The line is damn near identical to chipotle which was sorta disappointing as I’m not a huge fan of them. I got sour cream, cheese, lettuce and green sauce on all three. I had to ask them for the side of black beans that was included. When I paid I noticed the tacos were $1 more than advertised. Although I’m not going to cause a stink over a dollar, I questioned it. I was already annoyed at the back and forth with the meat issue, now I’m being gaslit about a dollar. I was told it was tax. Ma’am. No. Again she argued. One of the employees noticed my irritation and I couldn’t tell if she was sincere or being passive aggressive when she told me to have a good day. The tone was very condescending. Maybe I was the problem since I decided to walk in wearing my floral muumuu ans matching robe with no bra and last nights messy hair… or maybe… customer service just isn’t what I feel it should be.

Either way…

The black beans were actually delicious. I wanted more! The tacos… were all bland. Like, I questioned if I had Covid. The barbacoa was both really wet and really dry at the same time. I don’t know how they achieved that. Maybe I should have gotten more green sauce. They were pretty skimpy with it. But I dare not ask for anything extra… 🙄 Some cilantro would have possibly helped but that was nowhere to be found. Fresh Mex without cilantro? Blasphemy.

Anyway.. not my cup of tea. Wish em the best but I won’t bother going back.

Y’all… look at my man. Damn he’s fine. But also… that cookie cake! Cookie Canvas knocked it out of the park! She was so professional, sent over multiple sketches and even delivered so that I could keep it all a surprise! Everyone raved about how delicious it was! I highly recommend ordering!

Both had me drooling 🤤🩶🖤

Decided to try the new Stacked and Tossed today. For a place to have three locations, they gotta be doing something right, right?

As I’m sitting in the target parking lot, halfway through my salad, I’m trying to determine if I like this place or not. I was greeted when I came in, I smiled and said “first time” to which I was met with silence. I mean, if the roles were reversed I would have guided someone through the process, made suggestions and engaged a bit more. After staring at the menu for a minute I said “well I guess I’ll take a salad!” I told her I’d like to build my own. She then said first 8 toppings were free but didn’t include meat. Meat was $3 extra. I can live with that. Except now that I’m 3/4 of the way through my salad I’m wondering where the meat is that I paid $3 for. I’ve seen a few slices of ham but it’s scarce. She wrote down all the toppings and said she would have it ready shortly. I was expecting to go down the board and choose but I felt awkward even watching her make the salad since she had all the info she needed from me. If you choose pickles, you better really like pickles because this was almost a pickle salad 🤣

I chose to make it a meal because the chips looked interesting. I’m not disappointed in my chip selection.

My total was $20 and change.

Will I come back? Yeah probably. Will I be a frequent flyer like I was with Greenhouse Salad? No.

What’s your favorite thing from here?

Am I a diabetic? Yes. Did I destroy these little frozen lumps of goodness? Also yes. But with help! I’ve gotten similar treats from a local before and while they were decent, they didn’t leave me wanting more. Now that I’ve got something to compare I can say, these are superior. They’re so delicate but full of flavor! The pineapples, lawd the pineapples! Go follow her page! I’m gonna be stalking it and watching for new flavors!!

Rubba Boot Crawfish Company slinging that BBC hard today. Absolute monsters. Borderline NSFW. When they say “eat the b***y like groceries” they’re talking about the crawfish from the Boot. I mean, they also might be talking about that one stripper in town who has more talent than the blue man group. I don’t know. I could make a meal off of just the onions. Them things are soooooo good! Not a single bad one in our 5lb box. Not a single baby. These was all grown ass crawfish with baby mommas. I wasn’t even going to eat any since I’m meeting bestie for dinner later but they were calling me like that one ex who realized they fu**ed up. Only difference is I caved and ate the b***y today.

We FINALLY made it to The Crabby Crawfish! I say finally because I’m just not a huge seafood fan but the boyfriend was wanting fried shrimp and when I plugged “fried shrimp” into the 318 eats search bar, this was damn near the only place posted. It’s a small little place with minimum employees. I mention that because the man in the kitchen was irritated with staff and bitching about needing another person here and another person there. So if you’re looking for a job, go apply! The lady at the counter (I think I heard them call her Melissa) was so incredibly nice despite her being the only front of house person. We order the catfish plate and the fried shrimp special. I requested my catfish thin and crispy and that little detail was looked over but it wasn’t a really important detail because the fish was perfect just the way it came! Boyfriend said “I think I found my new spot for fried shrimp”. I tried one but I’m just not a shrimp görly. The table next to us was a couple who frequent this place and ride HARD for the establishment. They were telling anyone who would listen to follow them on Facebook and about all their specials. Were they strategically placed ops or were they just folks who knew good food?! We were brought samples of the corn (fu***ng amazing) and the crawfish Mac and cheese (equally amazing). We left stuffed and couldn’t even finish everything. Oh and let’s not forget the hushpuppies. I think we had like 57 per plate. The way god intended! So many places are like “here’s your one hush puppy, enjoy!” Not this place… I’m convinced they would have thrown some in a bag for us to take home if we asked! The nice lady also made it a point to let us know everything is locally sourced. The channel cat came from Mississippi and was so clean and delicious. Everything was seasoned to perfection! I don’t have a single thing bad to say about this place or any unwarranted opinions to give. A++ we will definitely be back!

I didn’t get a photo because I was with new people and didn’t want them to think I was some weirdo who takes photos of my food 👀😶‍🌫️

But.

I went to Bear's last night for the first time. Why in my 40 years I’ve never been, I don’t know. But I’ve been missing out. Three people at the table got burgers and they looked delicious but I was feeling a little more adventurous. The promise of caramelized onions drew me to the Philly Shrevesteak and my man got the chicken sandwich. One bite and I knew I made the correct choice. Holy crap. So much flavor!! The bread was so soft. The moans made him think it was ok to go halfsies and throw half the chicken sandwich on my plate and sn**ch the other half of my sandwich for his pleasure. I wanted to slap his hand but I was being a nice polite lady and allowed this trade to happen. While the chicken sandwich was good, it wasn’t what I wanted to eat after my half of the steak sandwich that was clearly made by gods chosen chef.

🙏🏼 Dear Lord Baby Jesus, or as our brothers to the south call you, Jesús. Dear eight-pound, six-ounce, newborn infant Jesus, who doesn't even know a word yet—little infant, so cuddly but still omnipotent. Dear tiny Jesus, in your golden fleece diapers, with your tiny balled-up fists please let my man and his people continue to make this spot a regular hangout so that I can fill my belly with the Philly Shrevesteak and Michelob ultra. This is where I wanna be when Jesus comes back. Amen. 🙏🏼

👉🏼👈🏼 hey

So like, my phone was charging, what are you up to?

Anyone else been ghosted before? I swear I didn’t mean to ghost y’all. I’ve been one broke bitch. Being unemployed for two months was rough. I couldn’t find a sugar daddy and I’m not sure there’s a market for women over 40 on OnlyFans. Anyway…

One of the top questions in 318 seems to be “who has the best m**fuletta” and I might have found it. Bestie got one the other day and it’s been on my mind like that one guy with the big PERSONALITY 😮‍💨. I was skeptical because how can a yogurt place have a good m**f? Then I thought to myself, “you shouldn’t judge because you know a good m**f can sometimes be attached to a painfully average, sometimes overweight FOOD ESTABLISHMENT.

Bromigos. Counter Cultures m**f is BANGIN. M**f so good it’s got you saving its number and giggling throughout the day when you think about it. So hot 🥵. Outside as beautiful as the inside. You know that’s a hard combo to find in shreveport.

Anyway… imma call her tomorrow. She was only $9 too… I love a cheap date.

My kiddo woke up wanting crawfish. I decided to try Crawdaddy's Kitchen again since they’re under new ownership. We were sat in a reasonable time and our waitress, while not super friendly, was very attentive to all of her tables. Balanced them well.

Crawfish was $11.99/lb and I got her two pounds. They have 3 and 5 pound platters but I honestly didn’t think the kid would eat that much so we did it ala carte. Potatoes were $0.50 each but on the ticket they were $0.75. Definitely not tripping on that but the waitress responded with “I don’t know, I guess they went up”. Ordered corn but they were out. The potatoes clearly weren’t boiled with the crawfish. Zero seasoning. Thank god I had some butter to drown them in. Some tonys would have been nice.

The crawfish were all small. I know it’s early in the season. I think we had two that could be considered select. We had 7 that weren’t edible. When ordering by weight, that’s a big deal. They weren’t easy to peel and oddly enough not consistent. Some were soft and mushy and the tail meat kinda fell into pieces and some were super hard but the tail meal was in tact perfectly. Most of the meat was pretty bland. Every now and then there was one with a little seasoning. My twelve year old ended her meal with “I’ve had better, Rubba boot is still my favorite”

I had the chicken Alfredo. It was pretty decent. The chicken was weird though. Like little chunks of precooked chicken. Definitely not fresh. But the Alfredo sauce was creamy and good. Had to salt and pepper it a little bit. The bread they served with it was the best part of the meal.

I went in wanting some catfish but the menu stated it was $3 extra for catfish. As opposed to what? I overhead another table ask about it and she said “it’s still catfish, it’s just not farm raised. Some people wanted a more expensive option for catfish” lol WHAT? So I just decided to steer clear of the fish.

Maybe later in the season we will try it again.

Kid left hungry thanks to all the bad crawfish.

Let me let y’all in on an insanely flavorful lunch that won’t make you feel like s**t afterwards. I made my usual in a small container then realized it didn’t translate well so I put another one together in a large container so you can see all the stuff.

This is from Whole Foods

I start by putting a decent sized plop of hummus as the base. Then the roasted sweet potatoes, herbed feta, spinach feta orzo, tabbouleh salad, black beans, roasted garlic (from the olive bar), black beans, Parmesan cheese, a drizzie of mediterranean dressing (you don’t need much if any) and crönchy onions. Cucumbers are optional.

Y’all… it’s incredible. And as long as you aren’t super heavy handed, $8 is what I paid.
Try it and let me know what you think! I’m having it for dinner also and on my way to bring bestie one. Hopefully she loves it but if not, ITS ALL MINE!!!

Mae & Co. has NO BUSINESS being as good as they are. Makes no damn sense! My lord. First of all, we love sitting at the bar. Amazing service (Haley I think)! We got the new big papa (but it’s big daddy to me) and the debris sandwich and split them between us. The debris sandwich is what meaty dreams are made of and big daddy left us wanting more! Starting out with the pimento cheese and beignets really set the tone for the delicious meal that’s ahead. They came late this go around but Danielle said “you could punch me in the face and would be ok as long as we’re eating here” 😂
I’m not a fan of onions unless they’re caramelized or pickled but these onion rings are AMAZING. They’re a meal in itself. So crönchy and rich!! There aren’t too many places that make me dream about them… this is at the top of my list. I mean, faaaaahk. That debris. I’ll go as far to say if a big bearded, blue collar single man wanted me to gobble his meat, all he has to do is bring me a bowl of the meat from Mae & Co.

Chefs fu**in kiss, baby. 😙👌🏼
