whats up mike. i trust your a manchester united man. cajun food has a lot of french influence,,,, only it tastes good. we take classical french ideas and give them flavor,,, plus we leave out alot of the B.S. Lots of seafood, sausages , tomatoes , peppers and flavor. not everything is terribly spicy,,, but full of flavor. we get great gulf shrimp, crabs and fish on a daily basis from a lot of retailers. not to mention the mighty crawfish. alot of people look down on southern cuisine as unrefined,,, but i prefer to call it rustic. we are big fans of traditional cooking. although i am a classicaly trained chef and can do anything from french to hindu cuisine, in my opinion you cannot match the flavor of good old down south louisiana cuisine. if anyone cares for ideas or recipies that will knock your socks off,,, or the socks of your customers,,,let me know.
