Glenda's Creole Kitchen- Beaux Bridge, La.

Just a little east of Lafayette, La. north of I-10, down some rough, puddle-filled roads we drove all the time wondering if this would b worth our efforts. One glance at the map should have given us a premonition. The restaurant was down and around Bayou Teche, through sugar cane fields and past a feed store and some very old wooden homes.
All I knew was what Bubba had told me about the place. It's claim to fame: a feature on Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations" (Travel Channel) and another on the cooking channel- G. Garvin's "Road Trip". Glowing recommendations, both.
I'll have to admit that it took some guts to turn into the parking lot. But ur talking to a woman who's ridden more than 150,000 motorcycle miles so here's what we found: two of the nicest folks running the restaurant that u ask for w some of the best food we've had n a long time!
Katlin and Kacy, Glenda's daughters run the place (along w their little brother!) the food was perfectly spiced and everything is homemade! Including the sausage! I had a braised turkey wing over rice. The sides for today were white beans and sausage and the most incredible braised white cabbage (it had to have been cooked for hours!)
The next time your headed east down I-10 around mealtime be bold!!
