After hearing from several people that we "had to check out Darrell's," we finally decided to hit…read moreit up for lunch. We arrived just a couple minutes after their 11 a.m. opening, and the place was already packed, a good sign in itself. Luckily, with only three of us, the hostess got us seated at a table right away. The exterior isn't much to look at, but stepping inside tells a different story. The interior has a sports bar meets old school diner vibe, with decor that gives the whole place a nostalgic, lived-in charm. We all decided on the Darrell's Special sandwich with jalapeño mayo, and it did not disappoint. Our waitress was fantastic the whole meal, constantly checking in, keeping our drinks filled, and making sure we didn't need anything else. Despite how busy the place was, our sandwiches came out in a surprisingly short time. The sandwich itself is a beast! A toasted, loaded bun stacked with ham, turkey, and roast beef (which I hear is made in-house), all topped with roast beef gravy, American, Swiss, and provolone cheeses, lettuce, mustard, and your choice of regular or jalapeño mayonnaise, of course we had the Jalapeño Mayo. The first bite reminded me of a warm French dip, but that impression quickly gave way to layers of different meat flavors, rounded out by the subtle heat of the jalapeño mayo. It practically melted in my mouth. Honestly, I wanted to finish the whole thing, but I didn't want to need to be rolled out of the building, so I boxed up the second half and enjoyed it again for dinner. Great food, great service, and now I understand what all the buzz was about.

As soon as we added our name to the list a couple got up from the bar (first come first serve). I bolted to get a couple seats. I noticed the couple returned their food and left. Didn't think anything of it. There was only one bartender tending and he was over worked. He appeared a lot when we first sat down, but hadn't received any menus, so we needed a minute. Then he disappeared for a while. Finally got his attention and put our order in. The crab bowl came and the eggs were missing. We sent it back and the gentlemen came back saying the chef agrees there's no eggs and we can add them to this bowl. No thank you. It's been taken around and people were poking in it looking for the eggs that weren't there. They remade it but this time they added 1 slice of turkey bacon and 1 slice of regular bacon. We asked for turkey bacon. My bread was soggy and evened up not eating most of it. The rest was fine. The beignets were not as airy but still fine. The two ladies making coffees were so behind that I think they lost the coffee order we had placed. We finally got it along with silverware after a moment of waiting. This place was nonstop busy and perhaps understaffed. I'm sure when they're on their A game everything is fabulous. This day was not it. Would I go back, sure. I'd give them a second try. But I would go during the week if I'm in town.

Earlier in the day, bae out of the blue messages me to pack our bag for a surprise roadtrip! He doesn't tell me where we are going but that he booked a hotel and has a place in mind for dinner. We ended up in Lake Charles for a 7pm reservation at La Truffe Sauvage. We were warmly greeted and sat down at a corner table topped with a single yellow rose for the evening. If you didn't know, yellow roses are my favorite! It was definitely fate that brought us there. We began the night with their warm complimentary bread and an order of their beef carpaccio with the fluffiest truffle potato chip I've ever had. What came next was their breadcrumb crusted goat cheese laying beautifully on a bed of spinach. Followed by their creamed artichoke soup hidden under a cloud of puffed pastry. For entrees, we shared their crispy snapper and fresh tagliatelle with shrimp. All in all, an incredible meal. Everything was perfect with the person sitting next to me, all the love in the air, combined with an impeccable meal, a girl couldn't ask for more. The only letdown of the night was that we were too full for dessert. I'll just have to meet their soufflé in my dreams tonight. -Sailor out
