By Megan O. Steintrager I recently returned from a week visting family in Baton Rouge and I was reminded for the umpteenth time that while most people think of New Orleans when it comes to good eating in Louisiana, the state’s capital city has plenty of great eats too–and not just at my mom’s house. Here are a few of my favorite restaurants from this most recent trip to Baton Rouge, below: George’s: I have heard the burger is great at this dark and casual bar, but I always get an oyster or shrimp po-boy (or half and half when one of my family members is willing to share). The sandwiches are loaded with plump, juicy Gulf seafood (I counted more than 20 big fried shrimp on one sandwich). The crisp, grease-free onion rings make a great side, though the servings here are so large that my family started making jokes about a whole new kind of UN-Doable Challenge in which they goaded me to try to eat an entire po-boy and a side of rings. Heads & Tails: The boiled crawfish at this seafood market are among the best I’ve ever had–mud-free, perfectly seasoned (spicy but not overly salty), and firm, never mushy. In addition to the seafood counter there’s a full-service restaurant, though we opted to bring home our 30 pounds of crawfish (pictured) so we could really make a mess. Serop’s Cafe: The vegetarian platter at this Lebanese restaurant is my favorite detox food after several days in a row of rich Cajun and Creole cuisine. The baba ghanouj, mujadrah, hummus, and stuffed grape leaves are the best I’ve had anywhere–not just in Baton Rouge. In addition to these, the Red Stick has many New Orleans transplants, such as Acme Oyster House and Galatoire’s Bistro (I had some really good Gulf black drum topped with crabmeat–the all purpose South Louisiana fancifier–at Galatoire’s on my most recent visit). Have you eaten in B.R.? What are your favorite places?
