OK, here are my revised faves/dislikes

DL --
Blue Bayou - excellent food, the servers are top notch without being stuffy, very casual and classy
Plaza Inn - NOT impressed, greasy fired chicken, really disappointed
Fries - ok, McDonalds has these kiosks everywhere wher they have the most awesome fries. Unreal.

CA -
Taste Pilots - Very Icky overdone burgers, and almost no indoor seating -- yes, I just happened to be there during that awful storm
Boudin Bakery Cafe - I don't know what this place was called but it had the most incredible salads served in warm sourdough bread bowls. I had a chicken salad and it had a honey dressing and it was incredible. Mom had another salad. it was great too. They also had soups in bread bowls, but we didn't have that. They have chocolate covered cream puffs there that have to be experienced to believe

Boy was I missing the DDP
