RESTAURANTS, PEARL RIVER

It’s winner winner, chicken dinner – or how about a hot sausage po-boy? – from take-out joint Wishbones, one of several downhome spots in little Pearl River. You can also find regional specialties like gumbo, shrimp creole and corn and crab bisque, all-you- can-eat fried catfish, and plate lunches for under 10 bucks.  Polish off a snowball at Southern Delights for a cool finale to your Louisiana culinary experience.
