NOTES; Don’s in Shreveport, LA, has been one of my favorite places over the years, but I haven’t eaten there lately.

ONE OF THE DATES WE VISITED THE RESTAURANT: 3/19/2005
PRICE RANGE: Several of the main dishes cost approximately $17.
FAVORITE FOOD: Landry Special: “A cup of gumbo followed by a platter of some of our specialties consisting of crawfish etouffee (A-2-FAY), our famous seafood au gratin, award winning Seafood Bienville and there is more, tender fried catfish filet, potato and a stuffed crab.”
OTHER GREAT FOODS: Crab au gratin. Fried oysters. Hot boiled crawfish.
MORE NOTES ABOUT THE FOOD ON 3/19/05: The shrimp gumbo was made with a good dark roux; the seasoning was mild with a hint of heat. There was a hint of filé; we could have used more.
The complimentary hushpuppies served as an appetizer had a particularly good, sweet flavor enhanced by green onions.
The crab au gratin had a good cheddar flavor. The vegetable medley served with it was a little limp—the zucchini, yellow squash, and cauliflower were not crisp.
The fried catfish, which was nice and crisp, was cooked in a delicate cornbread batter.
