Lil' Cochon's Cajun Kitchen

​Iowa, Louisiana
​
Don and I have passed this sign numerous times on our drive from Houston to New Orleans.

A while back, we approached the little meat market/restaurant at lunchtime. It was time to find out what these little pigs were celebrating.

​A  Missing Sign
​
​Usually Don and I meander off I-10 to one of the many small towns for a lunch break. But this little spot was right off the interstate.

They had more than 1 sign to alert us. Maybe more than 2 signs at one time. 

Cracklins and Boudin!
​
​Actually those bold words written on the cement block wall, did not entice me.

 But I did want to eat something Cajun, to celebrate Louisiana.

​C'est Bon!

​This artwork gets the prize!

I sure hope these guys aren't cooking up relatives. It's kind of creepy really.

​Meat Market
​
​The glass case of meats greeted us when we entered.

I was a little afraid to study too long. At least we had read good reviews.

Pig Art
​
​On top of the case there was another pig to greet us.

I'm not sure about this piece of pig art.​

​My Feast

​I ordered the daily special that came in a handy Styrofoam box. Jambalaya with corn, roll and a brownie. The jambalaya was surprisingly mouth watering.  The sausage wasn't overly spicy and I believe I detected flavor bursts of brisket.

Don went for a basic burger, which is sort of unlike him, especially since this place is really all about the meat.

​Patio Dining
​
​Workmen were using up the few tables inside, so we took a seat at the picnic table   under a shady roof.

We dined and watched the cars and semis fly by on I-10. Traffic doesn't always move so fast on this route. I'm hoping our next huge pile up on I-10 slows us down at the exit for Lil' Cochan's. I would rather watch the traffic crawl from this picnic table!
