Are you ready for a road trip?�e old Mercury is still running and I am o� again on another fascinating trip. �is time to �nd the best of the locally-owned Mom and Pop restaurants throughout Louisiana. Louisiana is our sixth state to be featured in the Back Road Series a�er Alabama, Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee and Texas.
My husband, Leonard, had family in Louisiana. His grandmother, Lillian Finnegan, lived across from the dog track in New Orleans, and his Aunt Marie lived on the outskirts in Avondale and also had a house out on the bayous of Lake Pontchartrain. We got to see the “land house” quite o�en when we took Leonard’s mother, Ethel Mae Musgrove, to see Aunt Marie. One day, however, I got an exciting call from Mother asking if I could take her to the airport to catch a plane with Aunt Marie to go to Hawaii. She suggested we make it a long weekend and go to the “water house” on the bayou �rst for a day or two. Mother, her daughter, Alice, and I got in the car and away we went.
We met Aunt Marie at a boat landing, where we transferred our luggage to a boat to get to the bayou house. �at night we were going to have a shrimp and crab boil, there was a crab pot at the edge of the deck where they caught the biggest blue crabs I had ever seen; just reach in and take them out. I wondered how they caught the shrimp as we began to cook the crabs, Aunt Marie said they would be coming soon. As we were playing canasta, a light was �ashed across the front of the house and Aunt Marie said “Shrimp’s here”. Now that’s getting shrimp right o� the boat. My big Louisiana adventure.
Louisiana Back Road Restaurant Recipes is presented in 5 Louisiana regions. �e �rst is Sportsman’s Paradise, the Northern most area, where you will �nd Trapp’s. A Cajun food restaurant located on the beautiful Ouachita River. You will get to enjoy tasty dishes such as the Seafood Platter with white tender,
lightly breaded cat�sh, big and tasty fried and boiled shrimp, meat pies, and some of the best seafood corn bisque you will ever eat. Walk down their memory lane with photos capturing several generations of Trappey’s Hot Sauce family members. We feature 21 restaurants in this region with a wide variety of foods to be enjoyed.

Below Sportsman’s Paradise, you’ll travel straight into the Crossroads Region. Be sure and stop in and talk with my new best buddy, Kinta Moreau, and her son Jacque at T-Jims Grocery & Market in Cottonport, where you can smell the fresh scent of hot boudin made fresh daily. Grab some cracklins and fresh hog headcheese along with pain d’toilettes—those tasty pork patties stu�ed into pork webbing that are T-Jim’s “piece de resistance.” My My M grandson, Ryan, Ryan, R who who w loves boudin, is all ready to ride with me to T-Jim’s. We We Whave 18 restaurants featured in the Crossroads Region.
Next, we’ll drive down to Cajun Country. Poche’s Market and Restaurant is one of 32 restaurants featured. Poche’s is located along the banks of the beautiful Bayou Teche, with a more than 150-year history, this is a food lover’s dream. Tourists, locals and even celebrities may be seen eating Smothered Rabbit, Craw�sh Éhistory, this is a food lover’s dream. Tourists, locals and even celebrities may be seen eating Smothered

Traveling east, we venture on toward Plantation Country and 13 glorious restaurants featured there. Tee Wayne’s Cajun Cooking restaurant in Gonzales is the perfect place to sample the Cajun and Creole foods Wayne’s Cajun Cooking restaurant in Gonzales is the perfect place to sample the Cajun and Creole foods Wayne’s Cajun Cookingfor which Louisiana is famous. �ey were recently voted one of the top 10 scrumptious restaurants in Louisiana and o�er a wide variety of food items to suit everyone’s taste buds. Visit the specialty meats section to grab a bacon-wrapped tenderloin or chicken �lled with a range of stu�ngs, or choose from boudin, hog headcheese, and over 20 varieties of sausage.
Our �nal region is Greater New Orleans Region where we’ll surely get the party started. A visit to Middendorf ’s located in Akers is a must for travelers and locals alike. It’s swamp dining at its �nest and a truly one-of-a-kind experience. experience. ex �e most requested food item is the thin fried cat�sh. �e same mouthwatering recipe has been used since Middendorf ’s was established in 1934. �ere are 22 great places to enjoy the best Louisiana has to o�er in Cajun cooking. You You Y may decide to take a cruise on the Paddlewheeler Creole Queen and enjoy the scenery while while w you learn about the history of Louisiana and dine on their Cat�sh Courtbouillon. Enjoy a New Orleans cocktail and Mississippi River breezes on deck as the city skyline slips by underneath a canopy of stars.
Louisiana, known as the Bayou state, is rich in history and superstition, and prides itself on the plantations you �nd in the most amazing of places across the state. Fog and Spanish moss will make you believe in voodoo magic. My Father, Ray Cantrell took us through Louisiana once and pointed to a graveyard. He asked us three kids—Ray, Nedra and Me, “Do you know why they put such large grave markers on the graves?’’ Of course, we said no. He said, “It is to hold the dead people down,” and laughed at our puzzled stares. I was much older before learning the water table is so low in Louisiana they bury people above ground.
You see it does not take much to get me in the road, and when I travel… No fast food for me. I like to sit down in a mom and pop restaurant, talk to the owners. �ese are the places where people still care about serving good food to good people. In this book you will �nd those places to eat that still take pride in the business and are dedicated to serving you the best.
Of course, no book is published without a great team behind the scenes. Sheila and Roger Simmons, my my mdaughter and son-in-law, God bless them always along with their sons, Nic and Ryan, and Ryan’s wife, Shelbie and my great grandson, Trace, who loves to show me all the interesting things you �nd, like an aquarium in the restaurant, where he promptly names the �sh a�er the people he loves. Of course the biggest �sh is always, PawPaw. And my son, Mickey with his family, wife, Frankie and his children, Brooke, Morgan and Bryce. Bryce is the one that takes care of Granny. He is my leaf-raker, yard- boy and even likes to clean up my pantry when he cannot �nd an outside job. Richard Shaw, my good friend and traveling partner of late. I never have to mow a yard anymore, Richard does that.

I have the daily pleasure of working with the best people. Nichole Stewart, who who wmakes my books my books m the most beautiful in the world with her magic to build the pages so each one is di�erent and the images are just right. Zak Simmons, who edits many a recipe. Heather Martin and Tasha Monk, thank you for getting just the right restaurants in the book along with Victoria Reneger, who started the book with me, but had to leave to take care of her family out of state.
Our sales team—Amber Feiock and Jayme Coley—can outsell anyone around. Tory Hackett, our Participant Liaison and my o�ce buddy. Diane Rothery, our o�ce manager, takes care of us all. I thank Brooke Craig, who has worked with me to bring me to the place I am now. She has the patience of Job to deal with all of us girls. Christy Campbell, who makes sure our books are placed in the best places possible, with book dealers across the nation. If I have le� anyone out, forgive me.
Mostly I thank God for leading me along life’s highway to the place I am now. And I thank you, the people who buy and enjoy the books we produce as well as the restaurant owners who make this possible. I sincerely hope you enjoy this special road trip through Louisiana.

Cajun Hospitality in the SwampWildlife Gardens combines the adventure of a swamp with the quaintness of a bed & Breakfast for a truly unique experience that cannot be duplicated.
Betty and James Provost started Wildlife Gardens in 1986. Betty kept things running when James passed away in 1997, and currently runs Wildlife Gardens with lots of help from her husband, Vernon Eschete. Starting o� simply as a wildlife tour, Wildlife Gardens grew over the years into a
place of irresistible Cajun charm and ambiance. Betty says, “We want to do more than just give a tour. We want to share our heritage.”
You can still enjoy the self-guided walking tour which is a fun walk through the swamp. You will see a variety of local and exotic plants and animals including wild peacocks, bobcats, racoons, and much more. Tour the alligator farm, and even visit an authentic trappers cabin which is �lled with genuine hunting, �shing and trapping items donated by family, friends and visitors. It’s a rustic cottage, alive with history.
33
�e bed & breakfast cabins are very rustic – exactly what you would expect in a swamp. You can feed alligators right o� the porch. �e delicious Cajun breakfast is not the norm either as you sit and visit with other guests and most likely with owner Betty and her husband Norm.
As a matter of fact, Betty and Norm may be the best part of the experience. �ey are lovely and engaging hosts who enjoy talking about the history of the area, Cajun culture and life on the Bayou.
Where else can you enjoy a tranquil stay in an authentic cabin on the bayou as you listen to the wildlife all around? A truly romantic Cajun experience.
