    I am not exactly sure what this dish was called but it was described to me as a Cajun Eggs Benedict. It had the poached eggs and ham sitting on top of two crab cakes. The "hollandaise" sauce poured over top was kind of cajun dirty with shrimp, crawfish, diced onions and seasoning. It was ridiculously good.

    Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola! That's the motif of this diner. It's on the drapes, the tables, the wall decorations... everywhere. Penny, the proprietor, is a big fan-- enough that when they were out of sweet tea when I came in for one late lunch, she mentally switched up my request for coffee with Coca-Cola!

    Ah, now that I have that off my chest, let's lay it out. This place is not fast. It's not amazingly good. It's not amazingly friendly. The prices aren't great. But it does offer a variety of local food-- jambalaya, gumbo, catfish, etc., or a little of everything with their rotating buffet.

    Penny's is pretty popular with the lunch crowd, and when I walk in covered in dust- and drywall-compound-covered work clothes, they don't bat an eye. Lunch will take you about an hour, so be prepared to relax a little. Perhaps put something on the jukebox. You're on southern time, and that's OK.
