Watching football is all about being a couch potato, so why not up the ante and become a couch cochon? Here in Louisiana we know all about that, but today, the New York Times is recommending cracklins as the snack of choice for the Super Bowl. Acadiana born chef Donald Link serves upscale fried pork belly at his restaurant Cochon, in the Warehouse District in New Orleans. But in the NYT, he’s featured frying cracklins Cajun style, with a chewy portion of meat and a healthy shake of Cajun seasoning, just the way we’ve been eating them since we could walk. For a look at how the world looks at pork fat, fried in fat, with salt, click here.

Stop the embellishment please! There's no such thing as "upscale" fried pork belly. A gratton is a gratton is a gratton...and nothing more. Don't care if it is served on St. Charles Avenue or Hwy 35...and leaving any meat on it is sacrilege!

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.
Philip deMahy Sr., a once respected New Iberia ad exec, was sentenced May 2 to spend the next two years (he faced up to 100 years) in a state penitentiary after state and federal investigators found dozens of images depicting children engaged in lewd sexual acts on his personal computer.
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.
