I had the pleasure of dining at one of Lafayette's oldest restaurants for Eat Lafayette. Don's Downtown is a legend in South Louisiana for good reason!

Three words: Original Don's Downtown, or The Ashby Special, or Sweet Old Fashioned. That's really all you need to know!  Oh, wait, there's more: Fresh seafood dishes, deliciously seasoned steaks, Spirits After Hours.

If you haven't been to the Original Don's in downtown Lafayette lately, you're missing some of Louisiana's best old school dishes and their fresh take on some classics, including their beautifully remodeled bar including live music on Friday nights. While you're there, or at any of the Eat Lafayette restaurants, be sure to register to win a Caribbean vacation from Travel Machine!
