I had Seafood Gumbo, it's New Orleans' favorite dish and my current favorite too. The fresh calamari, Pacific clams, crawfish, shrimps, and andouille sausage and mussels were cooked with Cajun and vegetables seasoning. I love the mild, spicy taste. While sipping the sauce I tried to guess some of the spices used in the dish and I got two correct answers - cayenne pepper and tabasco. (hurray!) ^_^
My dear husband had Chicken Jambalaya. It's grilled chicken and andouille sausage cooked with Cajun spiced long grain rice. Chicken and rice is really a satisfying combination but I don't have much to say about the dish. I didn't like it, as the chicken was slightly overcooked. There's really nothing special about it.
For dessert we had two slices of Mississippi Mud pie. I just grabbed this photo from the Gumbo website. I didn't brought my digicam that day and I don't think my cp camera would even give me good quality photos, so why bother plus I can't be distracted when I'm eating. >laughs<

This dessert was okay, but I think we could have enjoyed it better if it was served with ice cream on top of it, just like the authentic one. DH didn't like it, I guess we should have ordered my first choice which is the cheesecake topped with strawberry. So, it was his fault (hihihi!) ^_^
On my mind is another restaurant that we must visit very soon. It's My Thai...so 'til my next food adventure. ^_^
I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we’re talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime ‘associates,’ food, for me, has always been an adventure. —–Anthony Bourdain
