| - Oh, where to begin..
I stopped by Pappadeaux last week to grab a bite when on a Wed, they told me it was a 45min wait for two.. wow. The place was packed. The hostess recommended we make a reservation for the weekend, so we made one for Friday at 7PM.
The smells coming from the place when you first pull in automatically keep you wondering what delicious things are waiting inside.
I'm so glad we did.
We showed up and they gave us a card with a number and once our number showed up on the screen, it was seating time. I think we waited maybe ten minutes.
After gazing over the menu for a quick minute, we decided to try the fried alligator with creole sauce. Being one to enjoy new things, I was pretty excited. The waiter took our drink orders and and put in the appetizer. The place at this point was insanely packed, but it was nice to see a place like this. Made ya feel that something good was to come. Heck, a place cant' suck if it's this packed, right? So we order our food, I decided on the stuffed shrimp and the rest of my friends all ordered different things. It would be a share-a-meal night..
About 10min into drinks and conversation, they bring out the fried alligator.. Ok, if you've never eaten anything weird before. Please please.. you've got to try this. It sorta reminded me of a cross between soft pork or chicken. The taste literally melted in my mouth. To top it off, the creole sauce that went with it, only complimented it. I could easily have eaten the entire plate alone. Sadly, I had to share..
After quickly destroying the fried alligator, we got our entrees. I took one bite and had to pause a moment.. the taste of the stuff shrimp with the crab, Alfredo, spices inside just floored me. There were only six pieces, but after sharing a piece or two and eating the amazing green beans, this was plenty of food.
I can't wait for my next trip here.. fantastic food.
