There are a TON of plate lunch places in Lafayette. Creole Lunch House makes a mean Creole stuffed bread. Also, Pat's Downtown, Country Cuisine, and Laura's. Lots of superb Mexican holes in the wall as well offering couldn't-get-anymore-authentic dishes. I'm still discovering everything, but somebody's gotta do it. :-)

All those with body-happy food, preferably outside, with yummy wine and exquisite conversation. It's like an opium den without the stigma.
