Description
This amazin’ Cajun spot is primarily a carryout and catering operation, but we’ll squeeze into the handful of tables to dig in on the spot. Smoky gumbo is thick with spicy roux base, white rice, baby shrimp and chunks of andouille sausage. Jambalaya is rich with tomato and bright with herbs; dirty rice is authentic and earthy from spleen; collard greens have heat and smoke from flecks of smoked turkey; and the shrimp po’ boy is unforgettable—split garlic toast spread with rosemary-tomato rémoulade and topped with a heaping pound of perfectly crispy shrimp. End with a slice of warm pineapple-caramel bread pudding.
