Not familiar with cajun food but this restaurant just re-opened in our city. Does this look like a typical Cajun menu:

I remember years ago they had a trailer from their old location that served the best corn bread. It was a staple at the Bluesfest in Ottawa back when it was a true Blues Festival. Turned into a bloody pop music festival with bands like the Black Eyed Peas and other pop stuff so they could attract the crowds. :'( :'( :'( among the good stuff there. I saw Skynard there last summer with the rebel flag flying while the Ludicris concert was just ending at the stage behind us. I was waiting for a riot to start but thankfully Ann Coulter wasn't around to incite the crowd!
Rumor has Eric Clapton ;D ;D ;D, Stevie Wonder :) :) among others this summer.
They are all different. That one is missing:
maquechoux
profiteroles
andouille
paellaya
creole ratatoulle
pork roulades
oysters(every way you can think of)
mirliton
fondue piquante
couscous
bread pudding
and last but not least
red beans and rice
We have a restaurant in town called Big Daddy's. It was started by a Texan football player named Val Belcher. They have 4 to 6 kinds of oysters in the 1/2 shell all the time with a selection of hot sauces. When I worked for the Four Seasons Hotel I had the opportunity to try profiteroles, paella, rataouille (non-cajun), couscous (Moroccan style) and my Dad makes an awesome bread pudding (he is French Canadian. Best tortiere around from his mother's recipe). The rest sounds like something I want to add to my bucket list.
The food and entertainment sounds good PP. Yeah, being an old guy, I like Skynard and Clapton.
Ron, I have to shamefully admit I had to look up the maque choux and mirliton (the latter sounds like a computer game). If you can pack any of that up and send it here it would be most appreciated ;D A few oysters wouldn't hurt either.
I guess my point was that you can find anything from all over the world in New Orleans. Enjoy what they have and travel when you can to eat even more.
Didn't see no gumbo or boudain on that menu either! ;)
Some interesting pasta dishes.
Hey Arnie, a mirliton is also known as an alligator pear and may be better known as a chayote.
Here is a link to the Cajun Resturant in my Home Town.
Is some geaud food yes.

Never had a meal from there that I didn't like.
He made a dippin sauce he calls "Red Sauce" that is to die for.
His Blooming Onions are top notch.
Son and I ate there Last Nite.
C'est Bon.
