You Can't Cry Over Broken Eggs Amongst Friends


Broken Egg is the name and egg dishes are their game with a few Friends. @ the end of November thru Mid-December 2007, I spent some quality time with my Sister and her Family in NOLA (New Orleans Louisiana). Well, to be more specific they live on the North Shore of Lake Pontchartrain in the small parish town of Madisonville, LA. I had a wonderful time spent mostly Christmas shopping for my niece and nephew. I ate at two places this trip that I absolutely have to say are a couple of the best places I have ever eaten. The food and drink in both places is superb and I have to give each a 5 Star recommendation. The 1st place is a cafe in Old Mandeville, LA called The Broken Egg. They do not have a website as far as I can Google but I will attach directions here. They have simply some of the best breakfasts I have ever had and I am not one for breakfast; as mornings are not my forte' but that being said...the Stan's #1 Omelet, the Hey Ricky, the Floridian, and the Crab Stack crab cakes for breakfast are the best I have ever consumed...did I say enough about this place or what.

The second place we ate but by no means in 2ND place was a restaurant called Friends, in Old Madisonville, LA right on the Tchefuncte River. In fact, if you have a boat you can dock right @ the Restaurant and they will come out and serve you right on your boat. It was the most fabulous meal I have also ever had and I had one of the specialties of the house called Jack-Leg Chicken. it was a a huge fried chicken breast covering a huge portion of Jambalaya and all that covered with shredded Monterrey Jack cheese and ladled with Gumbo over all of that. It truly is more than one can eat in a sitting even for me but I did it...Wow!
