| - Beauregard Food Co has recently updated their menu and it is a wonderful change. We have always enjoyed the Crawfish Boils (when in season) and the Lobster/Crab Boils. These are divine with big heaping platters of seafood cooked in the authentic Boil fashion. A whole Lobster, crab, shrimp andouille sauage, corn, mushrooms and potatoes. Nice heat and more than 2 can eat in one platter. All of this priced at $39! Unbelievable. So, we wandered in for our monthly "Boil" fix last evening and were surprised when the charming owner, Dan Brinton (aka Doughut Dan- he owns the Krispy Kreme next door and several more in town) greeted us with a new menu. It is simply divine. Formerly, there was a large emphasis on fried food. Now, the menu is decidely more focused on fresh food with a cajun emphasis. We started with the Crab Salad app (served on fresh tomatoes) and it was delicious. Next we tried the Fried Green Tomatoes w/Shrimp Remoulade. Perfectly cooked and light. We sampled several new entrees including my favorite, Shrimp and Crawfish cheesecake, a savory delight that I will order next time. MELTS IN YOUR MOUTH. We then tried the Crawfish Crepes w/creamy crawfish filling, pear glaze, corn maquechoix and collards. True Southern heaven. Our son grabbed both grilled pears off of the plate! Moving to my hubby's favorite, the Shrimp and Grits were awesome. Cheddar grits; bacon, green onions, collards and a creamy cajun buerre blanc. We ended with a Banana Pudding that our son and my hubby literally lapped up! It is a great menu and I urge all of my Yelp friends to check them out. They are staffed appropriately and it isa lively, fun experience.
