Judice Inn, Lafayette, Louisiana
Lee wanted to go eat at the Judice Inn before the Rugby game in Lafayette. A friend of his at Tulane is a member of the family that owns and runs the restaurant. It’s an unassuming place with a long history. The building was handbuilt on a road out of town by two brothers right after WWII. Now, the city has grown to surround the restaurant, and it seems popular with locals and UL Lafayette students. USA today listed it as one of the 51 great burger joints in the country.
The interesting thing is the menu. Hamburgers… with secret cajun sauce, a few other sandwiches… and nothing else. No fries. No sides. This is Louisiana, so they serve beer. Lee had a milkshake, which was spun up fresh (no humming extrusion of milkshake machine).
Everything was simple and good, like it should be.
That burger looks yum!
Aw, come on! Too tempting….
What I don’t mention in my “review” is that I didn’t actually eat anything there. That’s my son’s hamburger.
I saw also saw the post from Cajun country and the food there. Wow! Good stuff. Pam and I had planned a visit to New Orleans last Sept but had to cancel.. It was basically a foodie vacation at all my favorites. The post (especially the jazz fest) brought back great memories.
Looks awesome. I bet it tasted even better.
Trying to wrap my head around a restaurant with no sides hmmmm…
