an afternoon at the bayou

so it poured down rain most of the day, only to let up around 2. from then on, it was a beautiful day in midtown.
a friend, her daughter and i all went to the bayou for drinks and some snacks.

there is nothing like sitting outside, drinking a stella, and eating the bayou's stuffed shrimp.
it was awesome.
i also had a cup of their gumbo and the basket of crawfish tales.
i should have stopped at the gumbo.

my friend had the sampler of their "soups"
a bisque, alligator chili, red beans and rice and 2 gumbos.
the chili was the best. it had a great tomato flavor.
second was the regular seafood gumbo
followed by the bisque
i wasn't a fan of the red beans. not their fault though, i'm just not a red bean fan in general.
and lastly was their duck and andouille sausage gumbo.
honestly i didn't really taste it.
i was full.

i'm off for now to see more sights of our fair city....
