Huntsville, AL? Why would we want to go there for a Regional?

It may sound strange, but some of the best Cajun food north of New Orleans can be found at the Po Bo Factory in Huntsville also. I believe the owners are Katrina transplants. I highly, highly recommend it.

Lafayette and Baton Rouge are both farther north than New Orleans, and each has better Cajun food in gas stations than New Orleans has at sit-downs. Maybe you should move that line up to 31N or so.

Seriously, looking forward to heading up to Huntsville. I'm not sure if we'll make it this year (esp. with Rocket City being the week after Bayou), but soon.

I concede to your obviously superior experience...and move the line as suggested.

I definitely recommend it as well. Their Hot D**n sauce is amazing along with the rest of their food!

Other good places that my wife and I liked there were Papa Gyros and Ol' Heidelberg (German).

Unpopular opinion time:

On the topic of Barbecue, if you ever go to the KC regional, we also have some great stuff. I, having lived here all my life, think it's the best I've ever had, but Barbecue is like politics...

Also, on the topic of space camps, a smaller option is the Kansas Cosmosphere (cosmo.org), which has a ton of really awesome summer camps. I don't know about the Huntsville camp, but these ones have a full scale shuttle simulator with both decks on the shuttle, as well as a SAFER simulator and a 5-console mission control, all connected together. It's very cool. Highly recommend it to anyone.
