Lunch at Lafitte's Cafe
Lafitte's Cafe

(Not to be confused with Cafe Lafitte in Exile on Bourbon Street)
The location has some fond memories for me. In the 1970s, the place was Luigi's Pizza Parlor. In the 1990s, it was a Bud's Broiler. The Bud's closed just before the storm, sign on the door said they lost the lease. Lafitte's opened in this location last year.
This was my second visit to Lafitte's. We went for dinner after one of my kid's band concerts about a month ago. I had one of their combo deli sandwiches with ham, pastrami, and roast beef. It was good, but way overkill in terms of mixing the meats. Kept it simple this trip, with the hot sausage po-boy you see above.
If a place uses Patton's hot sausage patties for their po-boys, I'm all over it. There's just nothing better for a hot sausage po-boy. Next trip, though, I'll tell them to leave off the fries. They were good, and I don't need those calories.
Service was excellent. I bought my computer in, so I could do some writing while I ate. The waiter saw my HP tx1419 boot Ubuntu, and we immediately got into a discussion about Gutsy and Hardy. He had some trouble upgrading to HH, and we compared notes. It's the sort of thing one encounters at a restaurant near a college campus.
Lafittes is open early for breakfast, and closes at 10pm nightly. They have an espresso machine, so they're a coffee house as well as a sandwich place. They also do the breakfast menu all day on Saturday and Sunday, for those who want a weekend brunch. Give 'em a try if you're out near UNO.
