Motherfricker you know that wasn’t what I was saying.
But some upstart carpetbagger transplant chef who’s lived in New Orleans for a few years?
Yeah, I’d probably put an old Gautreaux’s gumbo up against his.
Some things you just can’t learn in a classroom.

Who would want food from dirty Cajuns anyway?

It was good until Tony sold out years ago

Jambalaya Shop has probably the worst jambalaya I've ever eaten

give any top chef pocheps recipe from the TD cookbook and they will make killer LA dishes.
our foods are pretty simple. poor people food isnt going to be some culinary feat to cook

I absolutely believe that there are some 'ol Cajun baws that can make some dishes that would absolutely blow the minds of some world renowned chefs. Have you ever watched any travel shows when famous chefs come to Louisiana and go to someone's house for a couchon de lait or some gumbo. Those guys go nuts for the stuff. There is more culinary talent per capita here than probably anywhere else on the planet. Cooking is a way of life, and everyone has their special dish. That doesn't mean those coonasses could properly execute anywhere near the number of excellent dishes a premier chef could, but when they're making one of their specialties with love for their friends and family, that stuff can go toe to toe with the best in the world.

If you take away LSU:
Baton Rouge = Shreveport
Baton Rouge = Shreveport

Oh Jesus Christ. Emeril is from fricking Massachusetts and could have outcooked any amateur in the state within 6 months of moving here.

I have been countless times to countless restaurants in the Baton Rouge area and haven't had one good Cajun (or Creole) meal.
The latest has been a trip to BR was for a craving I had for jambalaya. Read rave reviews for the Jambalaya Shoppe. "Sure, I have nothing better to do. Sounds like a nice road trip. Wanna take a ride, Pops"
This is about where I got when I realized you were trolling. Well done, I give it a 8/10.

Going to Jambalaya Shoppe expecting the best jambalaya in the area is about like going to Acme Oyster house and expecting the best food in the New Orleans area.

Buryl, I ate jambo shoppe on Airline in Gonzales for lunch almost everyday from 2007-2009. Fwm

Yeah, that’s the whole point of a travel show. They aren’t going to show up and say “wow, this is arse, my dude.”

Their's tastes like heaven compared to the absolutely god-awful nasty stuff LSU serves at events like freshman orientation. That stuff is gross. They use par-boiled rice, tiny cubed chicken breast, bland sausage, and no seasoning.

I understand your overall point, but you can get Cajun food in New Orleans.
I grew up in Lafayette, lived in Nola for about 3 yrs, then moved back home. New Orleans has good food but it isn't cajun. The crawfish are terrible and you cannot find boudain and craklins anywhere and nobody serves a good cajun plate lunch. Nola has really good po-boys...that's about it as far as beating Lafayette at any cajun food.

Jubans is vastly overrated. Louisiana Lagniappe and Roberto’s any day, all day
Posted on 5/10/18 at 7:16 pm to LSUFreek
Not cajun, but the charbroiled oysters at parrains are the truth.
