History
Established in 1988.
Michael King is trying to do a little something different with his new menu for his catering division of his restaurant, Cajun Mike's Kitchen.
His menu -- and yes, he's "Cajun Mike" -- features a mix of Cajun and Creole dishes, but not in the melange style cooking many in south Louisiana are used to.
King explained that for the past 150 years, Louisianan’s have been eating a melange of Cajun and Creole dishes.
There's nothing wrong with that, he said, noting "there's really only two types of food -- good and bad."
But his goal is to serve both Cajun and Creole food "in its authentic, original presentation."
