Which one of yall baws are opening up this fine establishment?

There is no website or social media presence.

Should no doubt be authentic Cajun seafood cuisine, right?

Hopefully they don’t cook a New Orleans style watery gumbo

Yep, if it's a 'Cajun' restaurant let's see the gumbo, that will tell you all you need to know. I'm with you, NOLA gumbo is shite for the most part.

Any idea where that’s located? I’m guessing it must be on 5th Ave because I’ve called all the other Penn Station stores and none of them said they’re next door to a Cajun seafood place. I’m not getting an answer at the one on 5th Ave. I’ll keep trying.

Okay, I reached the Penn Station on 5th Ave. They said they’re not next to a new Cajun seafood place, either. I think you might be mistaken.

Maybe some guy who visited Nola recently and loved tomatoes in his gumbo and jambalaya

Right on. Yelp didn’t list that Penn Station location. I live up near Tuttle Mall so that’s a haul. You should give it a try and post a review.

There’s a little place east of downtown called Creole Kitchen that’s pretty decent. It’s not high end or anything. They used to do mostly carry out with only three tables for seating but they added a sit-down dining room a few years ago. There’s a place in Upper Arlington called Gallo’s Kitchen and Bar that’s good. It’s more upscale. Their slogan is “The heart of Italy, the soul of New Orleans” and they serve both cuisines. Their gumbo and etouffe are good, so is their seafood Creole. They make a good crawfish sauce. Their jambalaya tastes like marinara. Manager Tommy Gallo is a good guy. The specials menu changes daily and that’s where you usually find the best offerings.

It’s tough finding good Cajun/Creole/Louisiana cooking in Columbus. I’m always on the lookout for new options. I’m frequently disappointed. Heck, I’d love it if someone would just open a Pappadeux down near campus. Seems like that would have to do okay.

the issue with all “Cajun” (or “Creole”, usually these places just jumble the names and dishes up) places outside of the Gulf south is they use frozen chines shrimp, frozen Chinese crawfish, frozen Chinese catfish, imitation crab, regular cheap smoked sausage, etc. for all their recipes to keep costs reasonable.

Sometimes you can find a great spot that uses the correct techniques and spices etc., but the output is still just passable. Nobody wants to pay for what it would cost to get the ingredients fresh so the product always suffers and is inferior.
