Five

On the fifth day of Christmas, we stopped at

A&G, for

FRIED onion rings.

three french breads

Tujague's recipe

for the crawfish they caught in Arabi.

Ah, A&G, what an institution! There was one at both Lakeside and Clearview malls, over on the West Bank Expressway near Barataria Blvd., one out at Gentilly Woods, and the one in this photo, at Canal and N. Broad. If you remember others, let me know. A&G was a classic cafeteria. The food was OK, nothing to write home about.

I don't ever remember getting onion rings at A&G, though. When I think of onion rings, Liuzza's and Mandina's come to mind. And Popeye's, of course.
