sal impastato is from sicily – having come to a america as a young man 50 years ago, and worked in restaurants in nola and tx, sal finally got to open his own place several decades ago – on a quiet country road in lacombe, louisiana. “people” say “italian” in new orleans and thoughts usually go to mosca’s , on the west bank. lacombe is probably the same distance or a little bit longer, in the opposite direction, but light years apart in their food, preparation, and service. it was my first visit to sal and judy’s, and it was memorable, to say the least, because i was a guest of the owners, and ate in the kitchen. and i am here to tell ya – me, “mr. i seldom use superlatives,” sal and judy’s is incredible. we plowed through the menu with abandon, sampling numerous appetizers and entrees. starters includedcrabclaws in a cream/lemon/wine sauce; baked oysters with italian sausage; acrabstuffed giant “cannoli” sau
