I think that's what I love so much about Desi's... the consistency. Every item on their large menu is available everyday. Plus they have specials daily to offer something new. I don't know how they do it all. The marinara for the mozzarella sticks is probably the only thing I haven't liked. Southwest egg rolls are always a hit. The Cow Tipper burger comes piled high with jalapeños, bbq sauce and onion rings - wow! But my favorite has got to be their salad and garlic Parmesan fries. They really have something for everyone. Great drinks, even better food and kind bartenders.

Note on the dead rat: a bartender friend told me he found one once in a bar that he worked at on Bourbon. And the good stuff about a dive: cheap cheap cheap drinks. Two beers and a call vodka/soda eleven bucks? I don't jest! But the cats are what's bringing me back.

This was the first place I stopped on my two-week…read morevisit to Saint Bernard Parish, and I drove by before leaving town to figure out where I was... but I thought the sign said Plantation, and the Plantation Bar & Grill is on Judge Perez Dr. So I'm a little confused. Let's just assume that I've got it right. Then you can decide whether you want to try to find it on your own. Dalton's is something of a sports bar. There's sports posters and ads and whatnot lining the walls. Flat-screen TVs show live golf and reruns of the Superbowl. Patrons sitting next to each other will converse, each only about the sport he's watching, annoying the other in the process. A bottle of budweiser will set you back a whole two dollars. And since that in itself isn't enough to warrant a visit, perhaps you can overhear some interesting comment or statement. When one patron decided to leave with his girlfriend / wife, another declared to the bar at large, "If you're leaving before 4pm, you're oversexed. It's still five minutes before!" Not sure I agree, but hey, we've all got to have standards to uphold, right?
