Having lived many, many years in Louisiana, I am continually searching for GOOD Cajun food here in Nashville. Well, I have found it!
This is NOT a restaurant...this is a vendor who makes food FOR restaurants and also sells to individuals. It's located in Mt. Juliet--you can get the phone number from their Facebook page. They have specials but always keep gumbo, jambalaya, and red beans and rice on hand. Plus they have their own special sauce that can be bought by the bottle--it's a remoulade'ish kind of spicy, Creole mixture.
Now the important stuff: the food. It comes in several ways:
Flash frozen packages that will serve 3 (but is the perfect amount for the two of us, since it IS our meal, not a side) of the gumbo, jambalaya, and the red beans and rice. Talk about authentic! YUM! Good ole Cajun recipes! All are really, really awesome! Plus the price cannot be beat! Right now a package goes for $9.99!
They also boil crawfish in season and shrimp for an even longer season. Oh, and the bodin!!! WOOYEEEE!! Good stuff! Crawfish are sold fresh with corn and new potatoes. Shrimp is flash frozen. Sometimes there are crabcakes, and all sorts of Cajun delicacies!
For us, it's a long haul out there, but we buy quite a bit and bring it home to our freezer. It's totally worth every mile it takes to get there!
By the way, you may want to bring an ice chest to haul it all...with those prices and the FABULOUS food, you'll want to stock up! read more
