Ruston Eating Places

[dhussdawg]

Ah Stowes... I was there one night when the Saints were in Ruston for training camp, had a full pitcher of beer, place was packed, someone bumped into me from behind, dumped a large portion of pitcher down Earl Campbell's back. I immediately apologized and poured him a beer. He was very nice about what could have been an ugly situation.

Yeh, didnt want you to have handle Earl and embarass him, huh?

Was also arrested my once and only time at Stowe's . . . ahhhhhhhhhh the memories.

I know a few folks who can make that claim. There or Muther's

Yeah, right. Although at the end of his career, standing next to him in street clothes, he was a large individual. He was a nice guy, though. I have purchased some of his sausage and it really sucks.

Who is Scott of Scott's catfish?

[SkeeterDawg]

I don't know who he is, but he can cook up some tasty catfish. The original restaurant in on Cypress Street in West Monroe, across from Super One. I think he has been voted best catfish in the Monroe area a couple of times in the BirdCageLiner's annual restaurant poll.

4.5 years actually, and at that time it wasn't the bar the football guys went to. It was the Que on Friday nights and Rabb's on Wednesday and Saturday Nights.

Well yeah I did this too but that still leaves Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.

Plus, those are late bars, so you had to rock the Stow's from 8-midnight before making that oh so dangerous drive.

Who is Scott of Scott's catfish?

Scott Bond. I believe he may live in Calhoun and owns at least 2 Scott's Seafood locations in Monroe/West Monroe.

They already have a Scott's on Cypress St. in West Monroe

I have 2 requests, and considering there are some formidable cooks on this board, I thought I would test the waters and see if anybody's willing to give up their family recipes.

One, does anyone make their own barbecue sauce? Two, does anyone have a peach cobbler recipe?

My hot-water cornbread bombed, so it'll be a while before I try that again!

Thanks!

I have a peach cobbler recipe. It is not the usual one, but it is AWESOME!

Pour a can of "peach pie filling" in a dish and season with a bit of cinnamon and sugar.
Cover the top with butter recipe cake mix. Just pour the dry mix over the top. Take a stick of butter and slice it to cover the cake mix. Bake on 350 until slightly brown.

Heavenly.

I know it's not an "eating place", per se;

but, KUDOS to Mrs. Baird's ! ! !

I try to stop there every trip I make to Ruston so I can get my ticket punched.

house of ill repute?

Not to my knowledge, although there is usually a lot of bimbo stuff on the premises.

So don't laugh if I'm way off base here, but are you talking about the bread place? You get your game ticket punched? So what do you get after so many punches? Never heard of such, but I don't go there if that's what you're talking about now that they moved to their present location. Never down that way.
