Cajun and Creole

Cajun and Creole cuisines are deeply rooted in Louisiana's rich history and culture. While they share some similarities, there are also some distinct differences between the two.

Cajun dishes are known for their bold and robust flavors, often featuring ingredients like the Southern holy trinity (bell peppers, onions, and celery) and plenty of spices. Some classic Cajun dishes include gumbo, jambalaya, and crawfish étouffée. Our Cajun rice pairs well with so many main dishes!

On the other hand, Creole cuisine has more diverse influences, including French, Spanish, African, and Caribbean. Creole dishes tend to be more refined and often feature ingredients like tomatoes, seafood, and a variety of herbs and spices. Some popular Creole dishes include shrimp and grits, red beans and rice, and crawfish pie.
