À la mer

Carole Guevin & hubby, J-F, took Karl and I to "Jazz", a cajun restaurant/bar, for lunch. After a half-pound of "u-peel" shrimp (served cold and covered in cajun spices. Yum!) three of us were simply blown away by our chosen platter: Chicken à la mer.
À la mer refers to a parmesan and white wine sauce with shrimp and crawfish. The chicken came deep-fried and smothered in this scrumptious sauce, served with "dirty" rice and sautéed zucchini. As my mother would have said: "zum kosten" (to be had/tried)... and as my father would have said: "pfui Teuffel ist das gut!" (damn the devil that is good).
[Update: Karl and I returned the next day and after much debate and oh-humming, ordered the same dish again!]
Some t-shirts available for sale at this location:
- "If sex is the spice of life, I wanna be cajun."
- "Crawfish have it best: they get their tails pinched and their heads sucked."
