In all my years of both living in and repeatedly visiting Louisiana (specifically NO and BR), I�ve never had shrimp and grits. I�ve got a trip coming up soon, where�s good?

I did a quick google, and found a suggestion for Red Gravy just off Canal. I�ve been there before, but didn�t see it on the menu.

you can probably go to whatever respectable cajun/creole place that has it on the menu and it'll be fine, but an italian place in the CBD is probably not the best choice

Yeah, I was sceptical too. I just found it on a thread on another site dated a few years back. Everyone was jumping on to recommend it at Red Gravy, so I don�t know what to tell you. My meal I had there was ok, but nothing amazing.

I picked up the classic River Road Recipes book last time I was in state because of multiple recommendations about it being the book to own. Finally got around to looking at recipes and it seems like (a) they�re all designed to feed about 50 people at a time, which is fair for Louisiana. And (2) a decent amount of them are prohibitively expensive to make out of state, and virtually impossible to make out of the country due to some ingredients.

You ain�t getting lump crabmeat or crawfish in Europe for reasonable prices. :saddowns:

River Road Recipes is my go-to, although some of them are a little dated now, and others seem to depend on you feeding about 50 people per sitting.
