under the overpass - View this location on map 'l.s.u. comes by its party school reputation honestly, which means that baton rouge depends heavily on good bar food. head out to george's restaurant ( 225-343-2363), a low-slung brick building in the shadow of a highway overpass, and get ready for a night of outstanding louisiana barroom specialties. start off with a cup of rich chicken and sausage gumbo ($3.95), chunky with smoked sausage and soothing on a brisk autumn night. other portions are anything but controlled: a platter of thin-cut fried catfish filets ($7.75) could easily feed two; the doug's special ($8.95) a hamburger steak topped with gravy, ham, cheese, grilled onions and bacon weighs in at more than a pound and is a savory, glorious mess for the fearless carnivore.''
