Our first dinner began with the realization that the bartender was actually a server who was helping out behind the bar while also serving tables. So we took that into consideration when we judged our traditional cocktails as very unpleasantly strong and unbalanced. But when the food arrived lacking even the shadow of soul and flavor wed hoped for, we were disappointed. But we decided to try it again, on a night when they werent so busy, in the hopes that our experience would be better. But sadly, it was only slightly better. All of this is to say that the food wasnt bad. The meat was cooked well, the dishes werent over or under done. But

From the outside, the restaurant appears to take up an entire block, and theres plenty of room inside.

2008-12-22 Little Saigon NBC Philadelphia

What really impressed me about Little Saigon, besides it being the most delicious Asian food that has ever touched my lips, was the staff and rsquo;s willingness to keep their customers happy. When our orders were taken, I let my server know that I would need 2 orders of Spring Rolls to go before we left. As we were finishing up, he brought us the check and the Spring Rolls, without me having to remind him. Very impressive, not to mention our whole bill only came to usd. 35.

2008-12-21 Dancing through Cajun country

In Cajun country, I learned that alligators are not only to be seen (and feared), but they are to be fried and grilled. When I dined at Prejeans Restaurant, a popular Cajun eatery in Lafayette, the menu included alligator, as well as crawfish enchiladas, shrimp po-boys and seafood bisque. Dessert was a slice of spice-rich gateau de sirop, or syrup cake. I was happily satisfied with a bowl of their dark and rich smoked duck and andouille gumbo served with the traditional plop of rice in the middle.
