Guest Madison Yates, the Destination Services Specialist at Visit Lake Charles, joins host Brady and guest host Candy on Louisiana’s Playground to dive into the side of Lake Charles most people don’t talk about. From small shops and dive bars to gas station eats and roadside crabbing, they’re highlighting the experiences and habits that define how locals actually live, eat, and explore Southwest Louisiana. This off-the-beaten-path episode focuses on the spots, traditions, and insider moves that have yet to have be mentioned on the podcast. Find more information on where to eat, things to do, and events happening this weekend at VisitLakeCharles.org. Stop by Lula’s Tamales for authentic tamales and traditional Mexican comfort dishes!
