    The Mike the Tiger Habitat is the attraction at LSU whenever you're on campus…read more Where else are you going to see a live tiger right on a university campus? It's such a unique and memorable experience, and definitely something you can't skip if you're visiting. The habitat itself is really well done - spacious, thoughtfully designed, and clearly maintained with care. It doesn't feel like a typical enclosure; there's a real effort to create an environment that's comfortable for Mike while still allowing visitors to observe. At the same time, it does make you pause and reflect a bit on the idea of having a live animal as a mascot. But from what you can see, there's a strong emphasis on the tiger's well-being, and the setup feels respectful rather than exploitative. Overall, it's an iconic part of LSU's identity and a fascinating stop - both exciting and thought-provoking.

    I popped by here while visiting for a basketball tournament over the weekend. Seeing Mike was…read moreawesome, even though he was just sleeping. His habitat was large, earthy, and beautiful. If it weren't due to my ethical quandaries about Mike's captivity, I would give it 5 stars. However, I do feel it necessary to take this into consideration. Tigers are mostly solitary creatures, but Mike is forced into solitude and separated from all possible companions. Even if we disregard possible loneliness, the space of his habitat is still questionable. Male tigers need around 60 sq. km or more to thrive in nature, but Mike'a habitat is only 15,000 sq. ft (0.0139 sq. km). This means that Mike has less than 3% of the space he would in the wild. Even though I'm sure LSU takes splendid care of Mike, given his top notch vet team and $950K habitat, he belongs in the wild. No matter how cool it is was to see a tiger so close or how great the habitat looks, I feel sad for Mike. However, I do think Mike's enclosure is better than that of most zoos, because he is the STAR and center of attention. If you're at LSU, Mike is definitely worth visiting, but reflecting on your feelings about Mike's captivity should go along with it.

    This event is simply AMAZING…read more Signing in was a breeze and very well-organized. All the vendors were extremely passionate about their dishes and presentation. You can tell by the unique flavors that emanated from each item. All the chefs and volunteers were extremely nice and welcoming too. You can tell A LOT of planning, preparation, and hard work were put into this event. The location was gorgeous to take photos! The weather was rather warm but the lighting was on point. There were activities to keep the kids busy while the adults sipped on locally brewed beer and sample amazing cocktails too. Overall, I hope to have more time to attend Slow Food BR events in the future. We will definitely try to attend next year's Fall Heat event.

    I am a fan of all things that showcase local in Baton Rouge. So, this event is right up my alley!…read moreThis year (hopefully it will stay at this location), it was set at the Burden Center. The sights were picturesque and plenty of room for the kiddos, who attended the event, to run around. Family-friendly... yes, this definitely was, and kids under 12 were free! It was calm, serene and the weather was plain perfect for this outdoor shindig. It was a garden party, indeed! Various restaurants were represented featuring chefs that knew Southern cuisine and where to properly source ingredients keeping it Louisiana grown and made. Craft cocktails made by area mixologists and bartenders, one being award winner John Morris from Sidebar/Bin 77 and desserts made by Les Amis Bake Shoppe. I have to say I was a tiny bit jealous of the kiddos, who got to roast hot dogs over the open flames; now that looked like a hoot! I enjoyed dishes creatively prepared by executive chefs and their sous chefs. Participating restaurants were: Magpie Cafe, Tallulah (inside the Renaissance) and Table Kitchen and Bar, just to name a few. Local grocery delivery company - IndiePlate - was also there to answer questions about Louisiana-sourced ingredients and to meet fellow guests. I am huge supporter in the Slow Food movement and I would love to see this event continue in the years to come. So, get out there and support your local chapter: http://slowfoodbr.org/. Tune-in for their various events, socials and educational seminars.
