Bach Lunch continues April 8. You can make like Yogi Bear and pack a pic-a-nic basket or drop a few coins on your choice of lunch from Poupart’s Bakery, Great Harvest Bread Company, Guamas or the “Hot Dog Man.” After writing about him last week I sought out this mysterious Hot Dog Man, AKA Russell Hiltz, and you can’t miss him. He looks like Wilfred Brimley with a fancier mustache and a cart full of delicious meaty things. I got the very last pork sandwich and it was worth the seeking.
As for Cedric, he’s like the Highlander — there can be only one. They can never take away his Grammy nominations. Maybe we in Acadiana can start some sort of revolution and get people from all over to start playing Cajun or zydeco music, thus reviving the category? Those Germans aren’t doing much with their accordians these days...
Food starts at 11:30 a.m., music starts at high noon, the hijinx end at 1 p.m. so get their early and nab a napping spot in the shade.

Price of a good lunch... $6. Price of a Bach Lunch concert... Free. Watching a live Grammy award winner free in the park while eating good food on a Friday... priceless.
See you there.

David Calhoun and Elizabeth “EB” Brooks are the first two employees of Lafayette Central Park Inc., the nonprofit charged with turning Lafayette Consolidated Government’s 100-acre Johnston Street Horse Farm property into a passive public park. Calhoun was named executive director, and Brooks is director of planning and design.
There will soon be a whole lot of shakin’ going on at Benny’s Sportshack Supplement Depot, a new concept by Opelousas native Benny Nele. Located at 2002 Johnston St., the supplement shop, smoothie bar and café, featuring hot off the press paninis and wraps, plans to open in late May.
This year’s Cool Town issue is all about people who are not native to South Louisiana but made a conscious decision to be here, to be among us, to participate in our culture and contribute to it.
A shelved ordinance transferring $200,000 from a northside drainage project to a south Lafayette development may not break any laws, but it stinks to high heaven.
An effort to restore a shuttered dancehall and document other vacant or razed honky-tonks could serve as a model for saving an endangered species of entertainment.
Lafayette’s gene pool has been host to a long line of eccentric characters who have blurred the lines between crazy, genius, disturbed and curiously entertaining.
