Thanks for the love Baton Rouge.
I'll find an awesome concept to go in there. I fell in love with that building and bought it as an investment. It's a fully equipped, turn key restaurant up for lease. Win Win.
For a long time, it's been work non stop. Going 2 months without a day off isn't something I want to keep doing.
Thank yall again for crushing so much food!
I'd like to do more charity work, give back, feel good kinda stuff. I want to cook and feed people. If you guys need anything, you know where to find me.

Soak Jumbos for an hour in cold water.
Fresh water, salt, peanuts
Boil for an hour. Add ice to shock them and soak in the salt water (cold makes them shrivel, and soak in the water)
Finish boiling until you're happy. I like mine a little firm

Definitely the hot new thing to do. I don't care either way, as long as they keep them available. They're new to me, and I'll order them EVERY time.

I sent this to Ray, he's looking into it immediately and is thankful for the feedback. I dont know if he even posts here, probably wouldn't hurt to call him. He's a very hands on owner, and is there almost all the time, this is NOT how he operates his business

I'd like to cook this at home for my daughter's birthday party, but I don't have a cast iron pot. Can I cook it in a big crawfish pot, or does that not work? I need to make one large batch with how many people are coming to the party (approx. 60).
I'm obviously very new to jambalaya cooking, so any help would be appreciated.
What date and time?
If i'm not working, I'll bring a pot over and help you.
I don't mind pitching in if helps relieve some stress for you.
Lemme know.

I like to season them halfway through on outside, and right before taking them off grill.

Cooking Competitions
Posted by Jambo on 7/8/23 at 12:29 pm
BBQ, Seafood, whatever.
Feel free to link any competitions that are coming up this year. I'd love to do more traveling and cooking these days, and imagine some of these would be fun.
Anyone got some don't miss events?

No clue. But the food is great. I really enjoyed the chicken and dumplins w green beans and fresh roll for lundi
I'm not into reuban or cubans, but that lunch was fire
Got there this morning, was super bummed they already sold out of hot chicken biscuits. Will try again next week.
Got the breakfast taco and plain biscuit.
Breakfast taco was suprisingly solid.
Biscuit was pretty damn good too.
Great job and friendly service.

Bruh, if there is ANY doubt, or it's smelling weird, esp 10 days out, I'd say don't risk it.

Cut about 3/8" wide from 1" thick pork belly with a perfect fat-to-meat ratio. Then smoked. Then fried, but not crispy at all
Pretty close

Salt and pepper only I think. Lots of fat without being too heavy.
House seasoning has a bit more, not too heavy

You won't break any teeth on these, and the seasoning doesn't overpower the pork.

Just opened last monday, corporate trainers are all over the place helping out.
New place, smiling employees, great service and Phenominal Brunch in Biloxi today. 4egg omelette is the truth, bacon is great and crispy, better not sleep on that Hashbrown cassarole with chicken stock and sour cream.

Had Opie's today for lunch. Cowboy fries, pepperjack boudin balls, and cracklins. Everything was fantastic, great job Jambo. The cracklins are some of the best I've ever had. I'll have to come back for smoked burger soon.
