That is expensive, if you try it let us know. I have all those ingredients in my cabinet and would just make it.
Yes. I'm rethinking it. I don't want chili powder in it. I don't use many premixed seasonings other than Morton's Nature's Seasoning which I like. It's balanced.

Have You Tried A m SALT?
Posted by Gris Gris on 5/23/25 at 10:49 am
This keeps popping up on my FB page. It's a seasoned salt and pricy. Thinking of ordering something small to try.

It irks me because it's supposed to be a cajun restaurant, but using raw bell pepper as a garnish is not in any way "Cajun." So when a restaurant that claims to be Cajun opens up in Memphis, that's what people from Memphis will think - that cajuns regularly garnish everything with raw bell pepper.
Maybe they think it's a New Orleans things. Below is what I posted earlier about the name and the way they describe the restaurant. I also still don't know what a Cajun cobb salad is.

BBQ shrimp? But it looks like a roux, not what's used in bbq shrimp.
Yes, BBQ shrimp, looking overcooked to me. I'm not sure that's a roux. If you swirl the butter in last minute, the sauce looks thicker, so it could be that, but the shrimp don't look appetizing.
The peppers looked like tomatoes in some of the pictures until they were enlarged. I don't get sprinkling the raw peppers on nearly every dish. I love bell peppers, but I don't love it raw.

If the street is public and that spot is not owned by the homeowner, he should probably park elsewhere.
If the bubbles are damaging his home or have potential to damage it, that's another issue. This home has been there the entire time the bubbles have been bubbling. I would assume if they would cause any damage, that would have happened by now.
I wouldn't want to live there and have bubbles floating around all the time, but there hasn't been anything I've seen so far that gives him grounds to stop them from having the bubbles.

I don't think it matters that the bar owner has been doing this for years. I don't think it matters whether the homeowner knew or should have known about the bubbles before purchasing the property.
It doesn't appear that the homeowner is alleging any physical damage to his home or his person. He alleges it interferes with drinking cocktails on his patio and damages his car.
He parks on the street with other cars. Is his parking place part of his home or public parking? Is it a reserved spot only for him or does he park wherever there is an empty spot near his home?

You may be right. Not sure of the purpose of raw diced peppers either.

Is this the gumbo? It doesn't look good. Too thick. Too light and garnished, once again, with tomatoes.
The shrimp are small and look overcooked. Again the tomato garnish....
There's even a tomato garnish on the fried catfish. :lol:

Shouldn't it be the Rajun Cajun?
Maybe that's trademarked.
I know a lot of folks put sausage in seafood gumbo, but I don't care of that flavor in seafood gumbo as much as I love sausage.
Why are there tomatoes on the etouffee? Garnish with green onions, not tomatoes.
Why is there andouille in the etouffee?
What's a Cajun cobb salad? What in that salad makes it Cajun?
