Of course, in true to form of the Bayou state, fully loaded gumbo and the Zydeco pasta are popular favorites. Just as the COVID-19 changed the world in 2020, the restauranters moved forward with their second restaurant LA Burgers and Daiquiris. Homemade burgers and sandwiches served in a beautiful, spacious venue created for events, with great food, great people, and good times. The eatery is also located in the Third Ward paralleling taste elements from Wing Quarter with its own bites such as boudin egg rolls or boudin cheese fries, a great Creole Fried Chicken Salad, or handmade Creole Seasoned Burger are just a few of items to choose from.
