Sidenote: the seafood gumbo was also very good 🙂 Seriously, you have to order some when you visit Jack Daniel’s Bar & Grill. Well listen, we may have felt like you at one point, but Southwest Louisiana and Chef Lyle have convinced us – chicken and sausage gumbo is gumbo – and it’s damn good! the flavors were so rich. Chargrilled oysters Delicious smoked chicken and sausage gumbo Housemade boudin balls – each one rolled by hand! Grilled ribeye cap with shaved brussel sprouts and crawfish creole over charred cream corn grits Tennesse Honey gelato with citrus pound cake and vanilla bean sauceĪnd we know what some of you may be thinking… what’s chicken and sausage doing in that gumbo? Where’s the seafood?

Chef Lyle Broussardĭid we mention the Jack Daniel’s Bar & Grill is located inside the L’auberge? Get into the delicious food we had that night. You may recall us eating some of Chef Lyle’s food some months back at House of Blues. Our first night we were treated to a live oyster demonstration by Jack Daniel’s Bar & Grill Chef Lyle Broussard plus a four-course meal. L’auberge also has a golf course, spa, high-end shops, restaurants and of course a casino. Our hotel accommodations were at the L’auberge Casino Resort – a 26-story hotel with everything you need for an incredibly fun time!Ĭan we start with the heated pools and lazy river? What’s not to love? You can literally enjoy the water any time of year. We recently spent some time in our neighbor to the East – the beautiful city of Lake Charles – and we are so excited to share everything with you!įirst, a million thank yous to the Lake Charles/Southwest Louisiana Convention & Visitors Bureau for hosting 2 Girls Who Travel and welcoming us to your city! Yall know how we feel about Louisiana – not only does the state border Texas, but we love the food, music and culture. (Feature image courtesy of L’Auberge Casino Resort)
