Thanks. I really don't know much about Cajun food. I grew up in South Texas where there was a taqueria on every corner. I am definitely looking forward to going back to Floyd's, getting more bold, and trying something completely different. My latest love has been Japanese food, but I didn't even begin to appreciate it until a couple of years ago. Maybe Cajun will be next...?
I stopped in Lafayette the other day and ate some gumbo at Prejean's. Does anyone know a place in Houston that rivals their gumbo? (Is gumbo more Cajun or creole, or are they the same thing? I feel silly for asking, but figured this was as good a place as any to make a fool of myself).
My favorite one there is the duck and andouille sausage gumbo.
I know my response to this thread is late, but I saw AXOXO post a pizza-eating emoji on another thread and it reminded me to come back to this one.

I love Prejean's. They have the best Cajun food when traveling through the bottom of Louisiana. I don't think there is anywhere in Houston that matches their Gumbo and fried alligator. ( My favorite )
You could think of Creole and Cajun food as the same. The small difference is that Creole could be considered more of city food and Cajun more country food. A lot of the ingredients are the same, the difference is the people making the food. My great grandmother was Creole and came from New Orleans, my great grandfather is Cajun and he and his family where sharecroppers from Baton Rouge.
