Dining at Grosse Savanne Lake Charles Louisiana

We took a group of anglers to Louisiana’s Grosse Savanne Lodge at the end of May, and while they were all impressed by the fishing, it was the food that put the whole experience over the top. We knew of Chef Matt Whitney’s decadent recipes and heaping portions from our two prior visits, but the eight GS virgins in our group may have been out of luck if they didn’t bring their stretchy pants.

Here's what we had:

ribeye steak, crawfish macaroni and cheese and asparagus — **Saturday Dinner**

**Ribeye Steak, Crawfish Mac and Cheese, Asparagus**

Cajun surf and turf poboy and french fries — **Sunday Lunch**

**Surf and Turf (roasted beef plus shrimp scampi) poboy au jus with fries**

Duck and andouille sausage gumbo with potato salad in Louisiana — **Saturday Dinner**

**Duck and Andouille Sausage Gumbo with Potato Salad**

Crawfish etoufee with a pistolette — **Sunday Lunch**

**Crawfish Etouffee with a Pistolette**

chicken fried wagyu steak with cream gravy and candied mashed potatoes — **Sunday Dinner**

**Wagyu Chicken Fried Steak, Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes, Candied Green Beans**

Of course, each meal was also accompanied by dessert – like Banana Pudding, Oreo Mousse, Rum Cake, and Banana Split Pudding. There were also appetizers in the bar area before dinner. I crushed a bunch of fried oysters the first night, and I don’t even like oysters. There were fried gator bites the second night (sorry I forgot to get a pic) and boudin plus jalapeno cheese sausage the final evening.
