Gator Naming Contest Adds Excitement to Aggie vs. LSU Football Game at Poche’s Seafood Shoppe & Restaurant

Gator Naming Contest at Poche’s Seafood Shoppe & Restaurant: A Fun Twist for Aggie vs. LSU Game

In the vibrant city of College Station, Texas, excitement is in the air as fans gear up for the highly anticipated Aggie vs. LSU football game! To add to the festivities, Poche’s Seafood Shoppe & Restaurant has brought an extra splash of fun by hosting a gator naming contest that has captivated visitors and locals alike.

Meet the Star of the Show

At the heart of this contest is an impressive almost 16-foot taxidermy alligator that proudly hangs above the bar in Poche’s Seafood Shoppe. This isn’t just any decoration—it’s a conversation starter, a bit of Southern charm, and now, a beloved mascot for the restaurant. Throughout the month of October, customers dining on gator dishes had the chance to submit their name ideas to crown this magnificent creature.

And the Name Is…

After a month filled with creative suggestions from eager patrons, the votes were tallied, and the winning name is **Thibodaux**! Not only does this name have a nice ring to it, but it also reflects the deep cultural roots of Louisiana cuisine which Poche’s celebrates. To sweeten the deal, all customers who submitted the name Thibodaux will be rewarded with free appetizers for an entire year. Now that’s what we call a tasty prize!

Gator Delights Await

Even if you missed the chance to name the gator, you’re not out of luck! There are still delicious opportunities to enjoy gator dishes throughout the entire game weekend. Whether you’re a seasoned gator enthusiast or just curious about trying something new, the restaurant offers a variety of tantalizing options that showcase this unique fare:

  • Gator Bites – Perfectly seasoned and fried to golden perfection.
  • Gator Greek Salad – A refreshing twist featuring gator meat, greens, and a medley of veggies.
  • Gator Jambalaya – A hearty, flavorful dish that combines rice with gator, sausage, and spices.

Sounds delicious, right? And here’s a little extra something to sweeten your Friday plans: select appetizers and draft beers will be available for half off all day. So, gather your friends, grab a table, and dig into some amazing gator dishes while enjoying a refreshing drink.

Live Entertainment to Rock Your Friday Night

As if the tasty food and thrilling game day atmosphere weren’t enough, Poche’s is thrilled to announce that Randy Pavlock and TFS will take the stage for a live performance on Friday at 8 p.m. This is a wonderful opportunity to kick back, relax, and enjoy some good music with great company. So whether you’re getting ready for the big game or just want to enjoy a night out, Poche’s promises to deliver a fantastic experience!

Final Thoughts

All in all, the gator naming contest and the lively spirit at Poche’s Seafood Shoppe make for a delightful addition to the excitement surrounding the Aggie vs. LSU game.
