Cajun Works: The Real Cajun Deal

Cajun Works: The Real Cajun Deal

Restaurant & Food Services

If you’re looking for a Good Cajun Meal, and not just the typical cuisine, but the camp-on-the-bayou style, Cajun Works is the place you’re looking for. Toby Kimball, owner, and chef has been cooking up traditional Cajun food for the past eight years, when he opened his original restaurant, Cajun Corner, in Krotz Springs, LA. He was inspired to share his love of traditional Cajun cuisine, as cooking food together is one of the typical ways to spend time with family and friends in the south. Once he realized he wanted to share this experience through the pleasure of delicious food, he decided to open his first location, even without any business knowledge. This became a respected learning experience for him, as he not only was able to do what he loved every day but also build connections with people to help him move forward in his business.

Toby also does what he can to not only make his dining experience about the traditional food but also involve the history of his family and the Acadians. With time lines and family history stories hanging around his cafe, it’s hard not to get caught up in the mystery and excitement of the movement of Acadian culture to where we are today.

Cajun Crate

Cajun Crate

Restaurant & Food Services

The idea behind Cajun Crate was born out a constant need to send loved ones Cajun fixings and staples. Anyone from Louisiana but now living outside of Louisiana knows it is hard to find good cajun products in grocery stores. We were constantly bringing coffee, soda, gumbo roux, jambalaya, and hot sauce to family and friends in other states whenever we visited. We started to make “cajun care packages” for our family that contained all the cajun staples. It was always like watching a kid on Christmas morning open up the package and inspect all the goods.  After talking to friends, this seemed as though everyone has to do this for loved ones living out of state. Not to mention all the local goods we were also bringing to friends from Lafayette to New Orleans or Shreveport. We started discovering that even though something was made in Louisiana you might not be able to find it in all parts of the state. This is a problem that needed to be solved! And thus, Cajun Crate was born! We have been going to farmers markets and local grocers ever since to find brands big and small, unique and small batch, from Caddo Parish to Jefferson parish.
 
Our goal is to promote local and Louisiana owned. This way the small and large brands can gain more exposure and grow their businesses. Many of our brand partners source local ingredients, so when we support one brand we are supporting several other family-owned businesses.
 
We are locals that love helping locals.  Each box of Cajun Crate supports at least 7 Louisiana owned businesses. We feature not only products made here in Cajun Country but also products made all over the state of Louisiana. We are Creole, Cajun, and Louisiana Certified.

PAMPLONA Tapas Bar and Restaurant is located in downtown Lafayette, Louisiana, a thriving culinary mecca centered in the heart of traditional Cajun Country.

By marrying chic urban elegance with rustic Spanish simplicity, PAMPLONA transports flavors from traditional Spain fused with international tastes, such as those from France, Italy, and North Africa. With bistro-style ambiance reminiscent of Hemingway’s favorite haunts, Pamplona features succulent small plates, or tapas, of farm-fresh seasonal products, freshly slaughtered meats, and seafood, while also offering a full selection of world-class lunch and dinner entrees. Completing the dining experience, an extensive variety of refined Spanish wines are served by the bottle or glass through the Tixa system, a precise, temperature controlled pouring technique that guarantees the perfect glass.

Wow Wee Dipping Sauce

Wow Wee Dipping Sauce

Restaurant & Food Services

WOW WEE Dipping Sauce is a great all-around sauce that can be used to enhance any food; even though, it is most widely used to dip boiled crawfish. The original WOW WEE Dipping Sauce is amazing, to say the least, but Wow Wee has added a second product to the family called Wow Wee Spicy Cajun. The Spicy Cajun sauce has the same great taste as our original but is made for those of you who like it hotter in the kitchen.

WOW WEE Dipping Sauce can be found in many locally owned stores across Central and Southern Louisiana and Mississippi. So keep your eye out or just ask around the grocery stores near you for Wow Wee Dipping Sauce.
