If you go: Entrees take awhile to cook, but are well worth it. Try the grilled Andouille sausage or a crawfish boil appetizer while you’re waiting. For a main course, try the gator, either in a po’ boy, corn crusted tail or fricassee (it may be the only place you’ll ever find this item). For the less adventurous, go with a creole, jambalaya or etouffee. Onion fries or red beans and rice makes a great side while robust, hard-to-find microbrews are an ideal complement to the spicy entrees. Finish off with a Moe Joe’s Flaming Banana, which you can preview here:  www.triblocal.com/Plainfield/Detail_View/view.html
