Got my fill!

Wife and I took her bro. to PHX and met his son John there for their plane trip back to St. Louis. He had been at medical conference in PHX and his dad stayed with us for a week.
We called our son and fiancee in Tucson and we all met at Pappadeaux’s Cajun Restaurant for lunch.
Started off with 30 Blue Points, crawfish Bisque, and/or shrimp gumbo. John got stuffed Andouille sausage, which was delicious.
Main course dishes were shrimp of all sorts, lobster tails and King Crab legs. All with sides of dirty rice. Some dishes came with green beans. All prepared in true Cajun style.
I think the two mid westerners went home full! Don’t know how their stomachs fared on the flight, though.
Today, I can get back to the shop, having slaked my appetite for Cajun food and in laws.

I love Pappadeaux’s. Ate there numerous times when I was traveling to Phoenix for business. By far my favorite place for seafood.

Yep, it's great to have one as close as Phoenix, even though that's a 200 mi. trip for us.
But, I've had some great seafood (as well as great southern cooking of all kinds...Love "Scrapple":D ) in Charleston, SC too!

"Scrapple"?! Man, I haven't heard that word for goin' on 30 or 40 years. :eek:Can you still get it? If so, where? I can smell it cookin' just from thinkin' 'bout it.

Never mind. Just the ramblings of some old man - not that I'd know who that might be- don'tcha know?:D

OK, Gene, you've just got me hungry! Now, I've got to go and try a new place.

Cajun, since Justin Wilson was on PBS, I've been hooked! Justin kinda lookd like my maternal grandfather.

Pork Butt and Hocks turned into a heavenly delight BUT isn't it Pennsylvania Dutch or is that somehow considered Southern Cooking.

Maybe the warm maple syrup makes it southern. It made a great bedtime snack or breakfast right before going out to split logs.

Gene, it is 630 am here, and I am now craving cajun. And of course, up here we don't have any place that has cajun! That all sounds amazing.

Surely there's some place in Texas? I found it in SC, though.
On the menu, it was listed as LOP. I asked the waitress what LOP was and she replied "Left over pig". How could I not give it a try?

Steve,
If you like raw oysters and Cajun cookin', you will not be disappointed.
Well before Justin made it big on PBS, he was a great stand up comedian. I used to have a few of his LPs. He had some great stories. Clean, too.
