Rouxs overdone or underdone. Overly salty or no damn flavor. Subpar sausage. Wrong spice proportions.

Come get you some Vietcajun here in Houston. It will knock your socks off.

And for real, have you not been to Louisiana Lagniappe? If not pull your head out and you can have a memorable experience.

You went to Jambalya Shoppe. It’s a level above fast food. There are good Cajun restaurants in BR. You just didn’t go to one. And you are one butt hurt bitch.

One was burnt to all hell. Inedible.
One tasted like an entirely different food. Like Asian food or something.
One had chunks of vegetables, but at least wasn't gross
I think something about Louisiana food that I can't decide if I love or hate is that everyone makes it different. And with some, it is creative and cool. With others, it is purely due to lack of knowledge of technique.
Someone mentioned how they're amazed restaurants in other states can't execute out food, but they're commonly owned by a Louisiana native. They need to cheat and make their food based on well-received recipes by like Prudhomme or Link or whatever. Nobody will know they jacked the recipe and it will actually be authentic.

It was really messed up how they did the people’s choice. They didn’t explain the tags well enough. Some people right out the gate were just taking peoples tags. Some were trading them for shots.
It was only our first year doing it but we took second overall. Had a blast. You really need a gimmick to pull them in though. I was essentially a carnival barker. It was fun. I got to employ some rhymes.
Next year we’re going to have a ship’s bell.

I don't think I can state it any clearer: I'm not judging BR restaurants solely on the Jambalaya Shite... I mean, Shoppe.
It was simply the final straw on 49 years of unmemorable cajun staples.
And it's only regarding restaurants, where out-of-towners only options to eat are in restaurants, since PawPaw Thibdeaux doesn't leave his door open 24/7.

... Yes? Damnit. My memory is so bad 1 week is like my max. But I was out there for like 5-6 hours, so I bet we met.

God, I hope not. Jones gets super possessive if there is another Captain in LL’s life

“Don’t be a dumbo, try a real Gumbo” was one of my barker calls.
We didn’t have rice with ours. Just the gumbo. Rice is pointless. Just filler.
We were a couple from the entrance, across from the capital. The Hawaiian themed booth with the shot ski was almost directly across from us.

God do I fricking regret revealing that little tidbit. I don’t ever call myself that. Other people do. I just roll with it because it works.

New Orleans isn't Cajun country by any stretch, but I can pull up 100 plus restaurants in an instant that have more flavor than any one restaurant in BR. Stop borrowing prestige from cities with taste buds.
Ehh, this isn't true at all. Lots of places with the same fried crap and a bunch of people putting their spin on pizza.
Yeah there are great restaurants, but I find this whole, Nola is the gift of food and puts everywhere to shame, laughable.

Okay, then name 10 cities in the country with better food.
