A Tasty Mother's Day--or Support a Local Restaurant

Here at TAA on Mother's Day we passed by the ubiquitous chain restaurants and opted instead for a local independent favorite, Clarence's Taste of New Orleans in Edgewood. If you like Cajun food -- and some local fare as well -- try this restaurant and pub at the Edgewood Train Station.
The pub and restaurant were spotlighted recently during President Obama's inaugural train trip. It's open for lunch, dinner and has a pub where they serve Hurricanes and appetizers. Clarence's also has a children's menu for the less-adventurous little ones.
While the chains seem to multiply overnight here, it seems the independent restaurants struggle. We here at TAA try to patronize these establishments as much as possible -- although admittedly (& unfortunately) we don't get out much.

Hi! I'm a big fan of non-chain restaurants also. I've been meaning to try this place. Thanks for adding a link to the menu. I'm going soon!
