Re: Re: Re: Neal, How high's the water?

Steve,
Your lucky. Read on Philly news that Phillipsburg was about 17 foot above flood stage and my old home town of Trenton has quite a few low laying sections under at least 6 foot of river. Know any good real Cajun cooks up in NJ area? Friends came down to Florida last month and tasted the food at the Cajun Cafe on the Bayou in Pinellas Park. Now they are looking for a good Cajun Restraunt in the state or even open one of their own with someone else doing the cooking.

Neal, News said they found one of the kids and are looking for the other.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Neal, How high's the water?

I'm just outside of Phillipsburg, but fortunately, I'm on fairly high ground.
As far as Cajun cooking around here, there was a place in the Great Swamp that had excellent food, but went out of business. Seems everybody else add some spices, spray paints fish black, and calls it Cajun. So I make my own boudin and beignets. There is a guy out of Philly that has Creole dishes at several festivals in the area, but I can't remember his name. Great stuff, though. Just to show you how strange it is around here, a couple weeks ago I found out about a resturant that was looking for an accordion player to play Cajun/New Orleans stuff one night a week (when they supposedly specialized in Louisiana cuisine). The guy they hired plays mostly Italian classics peppered with the occacional When the Saints Go Marching In. Sometimes I think Felini had to be from New Jersey.
