I have wondered if opening up a really authentic good Louisiana restaurant elsewhere would do better than opening one here in state.

Doesn’t answer your thread hahaha but I have pondered such a thing.

Apparently it does very well. Google has nothing but 5 star reviews almost and over 2,000 reviews at that. Wanted an opinion from this board though due to audience.

A lot of them go out of business or suck. It’s expensive to ship in good seafood and the right ingredients. So if they don’t catch on and get good regular business, the overhead is too high to keep em going. A lot of the ones I liked, tend to start using cheaper ingredients and get bad then people stop showing and they close. It’s a risky venture.

I think if someone opened a Cajun restaurant in another state and actually knew dick about Cajun cooking (or hell, used recipes straight from a reputable cookbook), it would be awesome. Unfortunately, it seems most people who open Cajun restaurants out of state aren't very good at cooking Cajun food.

Granted, some of them have said they have to appeal to the tastes of the people there, but I don't buy that.
