Flying from LA the city to LA the state takes most of ones day. I landed in BR having missed breakfast and lunch, so naturally I was looking for a dinner I could overcompensate with. Thankfully my wonderful host Lee Barbier recommended we go to Chimes.
Friday night the crowd out front affirmed that there was something good going on here. While we waited I grabbed a glass of Jameson and a Franziskaner to get the jet lag out.
We were seated quickly considering the number of people that were there. The menu was imposing for an indecisive seafood lover. We ordered the blackened alligator and the spinach & artichoke dip, both were amazing! Considering the only food saw was airport fare for the day, these two dishes were so nice.
Not able to pick one thing, I went with the seafood platter. The stand out here is the stuffed shrimp, return visits will affirm loyalty to these. The oysters were shockingly fresh, I know it's a bit odd to combine fresh with fried, but I feel that Louisiana empowers me. Catfish here could be a form of currency, so good. I ate myself into a little coma and I can't wait to do it again Baton Rogue! Thanks for your charm and hospitality.
