*NEW* Cauliflower Dirty Rice – $6.49
riced cauliflower, Gardein crumbles, black eyed peas, and Cajun spices
We liked this but felt like it was missing something. It’s thick like a chili, with a hearty tomato flavor. It reminded us of a sloppy joe. If they put the chili on a baked potato or served it on a roll as a sandwich, we would have loved it! But alone, it feels incomplete. The flavor is spicy and savory and acidic and delicious, but just needs a little something to complement it.
*NEW* Crawfish Etouffee – $5.49
creamy crawfish and vegetable stew, over white rice
The vegetable stew is salty and pairs well with the rice.
The crawfish is perfectly cooked. This would be a great option on a cool night. It’s not overly spicy, just nicely seasoned and savory.
Category 5 Punch – $12 for 12 oz. single serve, $13.50 for 12 oz. souvenir cup, or $16.50 for 20 oz. souvenir cup
Myers’s Dark rum, Cruzan Aged Dark rum, passion fruit purée, mixed with grenadine, orange and lime juice
