Lake Charles, Louisiana

When I was young and driving from Baton Rouge to Houston and San Antonio with my mother and grandparents to visit family, we always stopped at Lake Charles to walk on the beach.  Sometimes we stayed by the lake long enough to eat lunch on the picnic tables by the beach. Our picnic lunches were usually sandwiches wrapped in waxed paper with a toothpick, carrots in Saran Wrap, water in a jar, Fritos and Moon Pies. 

I am continuing the tradition by stopping in Lake Charles to walk on the beach when I drive through.  Instead of picnicking on the beach I am making a list of restaurants to try in Lake Charles, La Truffe Sauvage is at the top of my list. If you have any recommendations let me know.
