Today I continued my adventures out here in Louisiana seeing what this so called "real cajun food" is. I know I've definitely been hitting the wrong places the last couple of days. Tonight for dinner, I tried a little place calle the Jambalaya Shoppe in Gonzales, LA. And guess what they had on their menu. Small Jambalaya, medium jambalaya, large jambalaya, and family sized jambalaya. Wow! All the choices! Well, judging by how many people are stopped here every day, the fact that they've been opening for years and that they sell only one item, this place has to be good!
Well, I got home with my small sized $6.50, and started to chow down. Luckily I was starving or I would not have completed half of it. I mean it was edible but lacked flavor. It seemed like just spice. No, we don't have jamabalaya at O'Cajcen but if we did, it definitely wouldn't taste like that or I would take it off the menu.
Didn't think I would say it...but I miss our Gumbo! I miss the tasty O'Cajcen gumbo that actually has both spice and flavor.
Well tomorrow I'm gonna try a place that sells boiled crawfish and shrimp and see how those compare to the Best Crawfish in Houston from O'Cajcen.
Just in case you don't know yet...Crawfish are back at O'Cajcen Seafood in Pearland.
Look at this email I just received yesterday from Cheryl in Pearland.
"You are right! Your crawfish are GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My husband, daughter and I went in on Sunday the 11 and they were excellent. We had 7 pounds taking the last 2 pounds. We always ask for extra spicy and we get what we ask for. Keep it up! Size and taste were great!"
So don't just take my word for it. Come try Citysearch.com's Best Crawfish in Houston at O'Cajcen. We are serving them up hot.
