[food] Best Cajun food in Houston?

i stand corrected...thanks. i thought it was more of a traditional Gulf seafood place.

 

To be fair, so did I, until I read that article.

Maybe a ClutchFan's get-together should be there?

 

Hey - while we're on the subject...

Where is the best place in town (inner loop) to buy live crawfish?

Awesome!!! Glad you liked it! Best seafood gumbo...anywhere.

Next time, try the crawfish bisque.

 

BTW - Here is the receipe for Pappadeaux Crawfish Bisque.

I'd still like to know the best place (inner loop) to buy live crawfish.

Looks like a lot of work. I'd rather eat it at the restaurant with my wife..but thanks!

 

I like to go to Fiesta. They have great deals on 30 pound sacks of live crawfish.

 

Inner loop? Without question: Rajun Cajun on Richmond.

 

to each his own. i love cooking, and this recipe is not so difficult. one tip though, if you cook or eat any kind of soup at home, please try a little brandy in it. it adds a nice bite to any soup or stew.

 

Thanks!! I absolutely love that...I can't wait for crawfish season...Boiled crawfish, Beer...Doesn't get any better than that...

 

Well, it's not cajun, but creole, but the turtle soup at Brennans is still pretty darn good. Their gumbo is also nice.

That kitchen can be great or just so so. They tend to do pan-saute well - like oysters. Oyster breakfast with eggs, soup, a sazerac and bloody mary sounds pretty good. Maybe I'll beat the valentine's rush on Sun.

 

except raw oysters and beer

 

You must have been watching me at Ragin Cajun last Friday...

 

My folks love turtle soup, and always get it when they go to Brennan's. They spent the first few years of their marriage in Philadelphia, and got hooked on turtle soup at Bookbinders.

The stuff makes me cringe!

 

Live for you to cook I get mine at Airline seafood on west alabama, or at least I did last year.

 

there are 10 GOOD cajun resturaunts in my town of 20,000
course, half my family is cajun and no one does crawfish étouffée like grandma

 

where are you live?

 

F*ck me, that place is like 5 minutes from my house. I've driven by it for years and never once thought about checking it out. Now that I know it's one of the best places to get Cajun, I'll be sure to check it out the next time I'm home.

 

Rajun Cajun.



Pappadeaux is great, but I consider it seafood with cajun flavor. You can get boudain at rajun cajun.

 

Sulphur, Louisiana... bout 5 miles from the "River" boat Casinos in Lake Charles

but my family is from Crowley, at one point in time I was related to the mayor, chief of police and various members of the city council
well... technically my aunt had divorced the chief of police but close enough lol
