Monday Plate Lunches in Acadiana
The "Plate Lunch" is what we call five pounds of heaven in a Styrofoam box here in South Louisiana. The plate lunch, or "Meat and 3" for the rest of the nation, is a staple of the South Louisiana workday. It's a meal that's hearty, filling, inexpensive, and you can get it fast.
Here in South Louisiana, we put our unique Cajun and Creole spins on some of the tried-and-true plate lunch specialties such as meatloaf or fried fish. But we also stay true to our traditional roots. The bottom line is that a hungry person can find something satisfying and filling at a price that won't break the food budget.
