If one of the things you like about going to fairs if things like funnel cakes, try the beignets at this small homey Cajun cafe. Beignets are fried dough with powdered sugar on them and are absolutely delish. Also, if you are a Starbucks person, explore a different kind of coffee, chicory coffee which is a different kind of experience and one I really prefer to traditional coffee - it's perfect with the beignets.
As important is that this is a small business run by a woman who does it all. I admire her. She is from New Orleans so has that warm and friendly southern vibe.
