That's it huh? End of thread ? Haha

Think that is one of those things, like jambalaya, that people tend to make at home. No one makes it like your mom did and that is what people tend to base their belief of what those two should be.

Went to that Niche place on Seigen the other day and what they offered wasn't half bad. Thought I remember The Chimes offering some that was worth mentioning.

Dons Seafood used to a very good Etouffee. But I have not tried it in many years.

Is Poche's still doing plate lunches out of Boutin's? That would be me recommendation if so

Chimes does a decent version;

Yes. It is surprisingly good IMO.

Other than my own personal recipe (my specialty), the best is definitely Piccadilly.
In fact my recipe is inspired by their version.

I have that recipe...and I must say...it is the best!

Parrains

Magnolia Cafe's was the same as Piccadilly and that is my recipe. Jim Malmberg ran Picadilly and left to open Magnolia.

I worked at Magnolia...and before I left I got the recipe :)

Magnolia Cafe's Fried Crawfish Etouffee was the bomb.

The Chimes w/ the buttered french bread and Brightside piled on top a piece of fried catfish.
