Broussards, Katy O'ferrels & Minglewood

I've been on a cajun kick so on Friday we decided to go on a quick trip to Broussards.  We met old friend Big Gay Apryl and her new friend Gary there.  We ordered alligator etouffee with fried crawfish.  The waiter suggest a half and half which is the same portions but also includes a salad.  They ordered the same except they got shrimp etouffee and fried alligator.  Broussards has a very nice salad and their house dressing is very good and it's big enough for us to split.  The food got there and I realized they'd mixed up the order but everyone had already started so we kept the shrimp etouffee and alligator.
The shrimp etouffee is good but we both really prefer alligator or crawfish.  The fried alligator was real good and Apryl and Gary seemed to really like it too.  My Southern Pecan was good and cold and the Glue didn't complain about her Amberbock.
We decided to walk up the hill in the snow to Katy O'ferrels.  I'd decided we'd only have one beer because I didn't want to drive home in the snow after dark.  Their house Irish Red is really good and we were having a great time so we had two.
We decided to stop at Minglewood on the walk back to our cars.  They actually had beers we like this time.  The Glue ordered a Hefe and I ordered a Kolsch.  I ended up really liking the Kolsch and hope they keep it around.  I drew the line at one beer even though the Glue and Apryl were pushing hard for a second.  I told the Glue she could have one but I was leaving.  Apparently when I went to the bathroom the Glue tried to order another and the bartender wouldn't give her one,  Thanks bartender.
By this time is was dark and snow was coming down but not sticking so it was time to head home.  Good thing I hadn't had too many since a deer ran out in front of us between Grand Tower and Gorham.
