This evening we decided to walk/run the track behind the hospital in Zachary (closest real town to us) as we needed to hit the Home Depot nearby. We didn't see it going but coming back, wife screams, "Captain D's!"

Yup, they must have built it quick, was a complete surprise (normally we know when something's coming). Of all the fast food in town (the usual suspects) the one thing we never had was a Captain D's, the most tempting to us. Oh man, the fried clams, hushpuppies and fries, soft buttery breadstick (plus another instead of slaw), dipping into cocktail and honey mustard sauce. The fish is...ok (still better than Long John Silver's, IMO, which I never cared for) and the shrimp is too expensive IMO for fast food quality. The fried clam dinner, however, when D's is on top of their game, is a pretty good value.

Going to have to do it once, maybe this weekend, to see if this one is any good, then try to forget about it (like we did our new Zaxby's). It won't derail us or anything (nothing could at this point) but it's just another example of temptation that we have to constantly deal with, you can't help but smell these places when you drive by them. There were times at the airshow when I was ready to give in, just the smell of all the deep frying made it tough to avoid.

EDIT: Just checked, this is the only Captain D's in the Baton Rouge area and the only one within 80 miles of us. We haven't had D's in over 10 years (Jax, FL).
