On last travel post relating to our recent trip to Dallas.  Heading out, we stopped at the outskirts of Lafayette, LA to get gas.  We pulled up to this quaint looking place, The Boudin Shop and Country Store:

After filling the tank, CS went inside for snacks.  He returns to the car and tells me that the proprietor told him that George Rodrigue, as in the famous blue dog artist Rodrigue, painted the chicken on their roof way back before he made a name for himself:

I don’t know if this rumor is true, but the chicken DOES bear a resemblance to the pieces Rodrigue did for the Lafayette Junior League’s Talk About Good II Cookbook.  Certainly beats the advertisements for the high cost of gas shown at the other convenience stores!
