Craig - Good afternoon, my hungry friends, and Happy Mardi Gras!! Are those pots of red beans and gumbo already simmering on the home stove? We are such a long, cold way off from the festivities in New Orleans (and that 21-degree bike ride to work this morning didn’t help!), but I only need to spend a few minutes of screen time watching the ParadeCam at Nola.com (the Times-Picayune’s website) and I am instantly back in the mood. I do wish there were more restaurant flavors in Philly to summon that genuine Big Easy feeling. Every year, I do try to find a new Cajun contender with a Nola-themed review, and some years it works (Ted’s on Main, Melange Café, Les Bons Temps, Cajun Kate’s), and some years it doesn’t (see this past Sunday). |
