Memories Preserved in Acadiana Cafe's Military Room
David Saylor opened Acadiana Cafe in December 1986, and over the years, it has become filled with memorabilia, with one room, in particular, taking on a life of its own. Known as the Air Force/Military Room, this space has become a tradition for newly graduated U.S. Air Force trainees, who started writing their names on the cedar walls. Every squadron for basic training is represented, creating a unique and personal history. The room also features a panoramic photo of Randolph Air Force Base and other historic memorabilia donated by customers. Recently, Saylor announced the closure of Acadiana Cafe, with the building set to become a Mexican restaurant. Despite the change, the new owner has committed to preserving and expanding the military room, ensuring that the memories and traditions associated with it will continue. The last day of operation for Acadiana Cafe will be at the end of the month.
