Another snowball season is upon us, so once again my boyfriend and I are sampling as many Westbank snowball stands as we can. Why should the Eastbank have all the fun? We started this journey last year and, now that the stands are open again, we wasted no time exploring what the Westbank has to offer.
D suggested this little stand in Belle Chasse that I didn't even know existed. Apparently it's located right next door to the famed Big Jake's sandwich shop, which is super convenient if you're in the mood for something sweet after enjoying your Big Jake burger. This stand is cash only and has a pretty diverse menu. I got a rainbow snowball (my fave) and D got a king cake snowball. Right away I knew we had a problem: the ice was chunky and this snowball was seriously lacking syrup- you can even see it in my picture. However, I didn't think that my snowball was all that bad, even though it did start to lose flavor towards the end. D didn't even finish his and said that it tasted nothing like king cake. Meh. There's some picnic tables under a covered porch for sitting on warmer days.
While I wouldn't skip this stand if I was in the area, it wouldn't be my first pick for a snowball. read more
