FAQ I'm not familiar with Louisiana cuisine, exactly what kind of food do you serve?. Louisiana is most famous for its Cajun and Creole cuisine. Outside Louisiana the distinctions between Cajun and Creole cuisine have blurred. Traditionally, Creole food is genteel city food and Cajun is rustic country food. Cajun food as a whole has been called “more Mediterranean than North American”. Bell peppers, onion and celery form the base of most dishes, as well as garlic and cayenne pepper. Cajun food also borrows from African and Native American styles of cookery. Gumbo takes its name from the West African and Caribbean name for okra, which is often a main ingredient of these dishes. File, or powdered sassafras leaves, was used by the Choctaw Indians before Cajuns began cooking. Cajun food, despite its reputation, is not necessarily spicy hot. Cajun spice blends are often richly flavored without heat, although some Cajun spices will certainly burn you! We carry a standard Chef KP Soul Seasoning in both regular, which has a pleasant moderate heat, and Extra Hot for folks who like the burn. Cajun’s Fry, Creole sauté. Both Creole and Cajun aficionados will tell you it’s all about the “roux” — a mix of fat and flour that is browned in a saucepan and used to thicken a dish’s base or sauce. In Creole cookery, the roux is lighter in color and thinner; in Cajun, it’s darker and thicker — differences that affect the color and taste of the gumbos. The spiciest dishes we serve would be considered “medium” in terms of heat. Those dishes include: gumbo, jambalaya, grilled polish and hot link sausage, and the shrimp creole. Of course we provide plenty of hot sauce for those of you who like things really spicy. What’s the difference between gumbo and jambalaya? Gumbo is a stew or soup that is traditional in Louisiana – it is almost always made with a roux to thicken. Ours is a bit different in that it uses a roux and file to thicken. In Louisiana every family has their own unique gumbo recipe. Jambalaya, the quintessential dish from New Orleans, is a spicy one-pot rice dish featuring chicken, polish sausage, shrimp, and a whole host of Southern flavors. Typically, there are two types of jambalaya – a Cajun jambalaya which contains no tomatoes and typically is a brown color due to the meat used like the one we serve at Big Mama’s BBQ Place and a Creole jambalaya also called a ‘red jambalaya’ due to the tomatoes. Can I order food to go? Absolutely! To go orders typically take about ten to fifteen minutes to prepare but please allow up to twenty minutes during peak dinner hours. Do you do catering? We do have a catering menu available which features large quantities of many of our most popular dishes. You can find our catering menu in the “Catering” section of the website. To ensure availability, please place your order at least two days in advance. What’s the difference between gumbo and jambalaya?
