SUSIE'S SEAFOOD
Our first introduction to Louisiana cuisine and
seafood:
The restaurant was just "down-a-ways"
from the Hampton Inn and Suites
( a very nice choice of hotel, Al!).
It was either the Waffle House or Susie's.
What do you think?!
.

 |
|
Didn't look like much but oh. . . . . . the aroma of cooking was SO inviting. . . |
the spearheads of the first ever Tarzan Festival invited us for supper at Susie's on our first night in the city. |
 |
 |
|
The "boiler room" where there are 4 or 5 vats of boiling stock for crawfish and what-have-you. Does the ventilation system comform with regulation standards? It's not what I had in my restaurant, but I'll bet it's a lot more effective in the heat and humidity of the south! |

waiting for their "orders" |
corn-on -the -cob and chunks of potato. |
 |
 |
|
|
but I didn't feel comfortable asking this gentleman (that was before I found out that EVERYONE is friendly and helpful!). Then I saw this "where are you from" map and found Brandon. One of the servers gave me a push pin, and Doris Gibson Bohl so discreetly took "my picture". |
 |
 |
|
Crunchy bites of deliciousness... |
We shared my crab and his crab ;-) |
 |
 |
|
we enticed the rest of the Tarmangani to join us on Friday before the showing of Al's documentary, Tarzan of the Louisiana Jungle |
to go on the swamp tour, but they got in for Susie's! |
 |
 |
|
After making himself known, he also chatted with locals about the Tarzan Festival - ever the ERB promoter :-) |
And I believe this is herself! |
 |
 |
|
as I didn't want to tackle 4 lbs. " Sorry...We only do the big batches" Then I heard, " Want crawfish? Come on over and join us!" Locals Andrew and Gail pulled out a chair, plunked down some crawfish, and said, "Here's how. Have at em! Here...try some 'gator bites too." Lovely folks! |
grinning ear-to-ear as he tackles his 4lbs of "mud-bugs" when he saw how delicious they were at Andrew's table. And...he ate them all up too! |
 |
 |
|
AND it tastes like chicken ;-) Very good 'gator bites, Susie :-) |
Spicy boiled shrimp for Bill and me. He was at the auditorium helping the ERB. Inc staff set up souvenir tables. He joined us just in time to have some shrimp and 'gator bites before we all headed over to the auditorium for Al's documentary. |
 |
|
of the re-issue of Tarzan of the Apes with Elmo Lincoln, The LeBeaus recommended Rita Mae's for supper. They had eaten there the night before and enjoyed the food. So, the tarmangani converged on the unsuspecting Rita's staff without realizing that they close at 5 pm on Sat. They stayed open for extra 2 hours for the gang. |
 |
 |
|
Henry Franke, Mike and Linda Conran, Pat and Brad Vinson, Frank Grainger, John Tyner, Sky Bower. Most unusual setting - in a house...in someone's parlour... |
D.J. Howell, Phyllis, Ray and Shirley Le Beau. |
 |
 |
|
I put that **** on everything! You got that right;-) |
Nothing fancy, just good food :-) |
