Well, sometimes places and surroundings are surprising. Had to head to northwestern North Carolina last week to give a lecture at Applacahian State University. Decided to parlay the trip with a visit to a client not too far away. Passing through Banner Elk on my way to Boone, I recognized a couple of streets and a restaurant that I had been at before. (Years back my son had gone to college in the area as well,) The Louisiana Purchase was still there. A quick phone call and I learned that the place was under new ownership but little had changed. Pulled in. Had to. Couldn't pass up a fine cajun restaurant in the middle of, uh, the middle of well, pretty much the middle of nowhere. Veal Pate and Crawfish Etoufee screamed off the menu. Had to go there. SPECTACULAR . Across the board specatacular. Whenever you're in the northwestern part of NC, don't pass up the opportunity to eat some fine ---and I mean fine----cajun food.
