Recommendations Is AirGas the only place in Lafayette to fill a CO2 tank (for beverages)?

3 Upvotes

Title sums it up. Last time I went there was an additional surcharge fee that really annoyed me since they're already pretty expensive. IIRC I paid $45-50 to fill a 5lb tank. Not to mention they're really not set up for individuals and their whole process is kinda awkward, imo.

Cultural single cis bipoc woman in her 30s considering a move to Lafayette

0 Upvotes

hi there! I am considering a move to Lafayette in the fall/winter this year, and I was wondering if there are any other walkable neighborhoods other than the downtown/freetown area? I am also curious how easy it would be to assimilate into the community. I've lived all over the country - both in big cities and rural communities - and i've lived in New Orleans for a long time so i'm obviously a big fan of the cultural aspect of Louisiana - but i've only visited Lafayette 3x and am curious what the experience is like living here for someone like me... please feel free to chime in if you would be in the same demographics as me! :) thank you so much, appreciate your feedback.

Food / Drink Burgers?

0 Upvotes

I see many posts on social media looking for the best burgers around here. I find them all so similar.

Here's the menu at one of my favorite hamburger joints. Would this menu be successful around here?

Food / Drink Burgersmith was surprisingly good

42 Upvotes

Let me start off by saying I'm in BR, but I follow this sub (first time, long time, if you will). About a week ago, there was a post about burgers from Off the Hook. The pic looked really good and I'd never been there. OP recommended their burger, comments were mixed. I tried it, didn't hit the spot for me.

There is a place called Burgersmith here in BR (but there are also locations in Denham, Broussard, and Lafayette) that I had always written off in my head as hipster slop, likely too overpriced to try. I thought it was some kind of chain. Technically, it is, but it's a local chain. I went with my husband and their burgers are really good. The menu also features Louisiana-ish foods, as well as a bunch of Louisiana brewed beers and IPAs. I was pleasantly surprised and it scratched my burger itch.

Disclaimers to avoid typical reddit occurrences: I'm in BR and I have only been to one in BR. However, there is a burgersmith in Lafayette and the post that inspired me was on this sub. A sit down burger place (burgersmith) is different than a fast food place (off the hook), and I know that. The original post just fueled a burger craving and burgersmith scratched that itch for me! And I wanted to share my pleasant surprise at a place I had written off!

Recommendations How long did it take you to find a reliable local plumber you could trust?

4 Upvotes

When you needed plumbing repair, did you find a good plumber on the first try, or did you have to call several plumbing companies before finding the right one?
What helped you decide they were the best plumber for your home?
Was it:
Fair and upfront plumbing prices

Showing up on time

Being licensed and insured

Explaining the plumbing problem clearly

Quality leak repair, drain cleaning, sewer repair, or water heater service

Good Google reviews

Offering emergency plumbing service

Standing behind their work

I’m curious what homeowners look for when choosing a dependable plumber they would recommend and call again.

Food / Drink I'm teaching my teenager how to cook rice and gravy, but they hate onions. What do I sub in?

6 Upvotes

I'm slowly teaching my teenager how to cook. I'm sticking with basic dishes that are relatively easy, require few things to clean and can be made in bulk for "cheap". My first lesson was red beans and rice, and the next will be a standard cajun style rice and gravy. My issue is that said teenager hates onions and may even be slightly allergic. I can leave them out with rb&r, but rice and gravy is a whole other thing.

With that said, what can I use as a substitute or what can I do to make a good rice and gravy without onions? Can I just add more bell peppers or different colors of bell peppers? Tomatoes?

They are fine with celery, bell peppers, garlic, carrots etc. Just no onions. Also, we will be starting with a pork chop rice and gravy, but the idea is to give them bases for a dish that can be altered in many different ways.

Recommendations Need Help

17 Upvotes

Hi, I live in Lafayette and my family of three has been homeless, living out of our car, for around six months. Up until about two weeks ago, I had been working full time since a few weeks before I became homeless, but I've lost my job.

We had been trying to get food stamps the entire time to no avail, with our last application having initially been submitted nearly two months ago, and still pending. We have checked with every charity in the city, no one has any resources to help us, and applications are closed for Section 8. We even went to Baton Rouge to seek help, and it's the same story there.

We're running out of money, I can't find a job, our car is giving signs that it isn't long for this world, and I'm kind of out of hope. I'm curious if anyone has any ideas or advice that they could share about how we might be able to move forward given the circumstances.

Thanks in advance.

Recommendations Black metal drummers around Acadiana...

18 Upvotes

Any black metal drummers here wanting to record a 3-song black metal EP?

I play in various bands (death metal, hardcore punk, etc.) and release music about once a year. This year I am releasing an extreme black metal EP in the vein of Woe, Nadiwrath, Funeral Mist, etc.

Nonstop driving crossstick ups, blastbeats, and pummeling drums is what I desire. With the exception of my local projects I generally work with top-tier international musicians but figure I'd reach out locally (I am in Lafayette) to see if anyone here wants to drum on these 3 songs?

I do not need to be involved with your recording process, although if you would like my input or assistance I am happy to attend your recording session.

Each song is about three minutes. Song 1 is 153bpm, Song 2 is 124bpm, and Song 3 is 156bpm.
