Visited CP for the first time and decided to sample as much as we could. Started with the gumbo, which had plenty of filet in it, which makes it really nice. Add some red jalepeno hot sauce from the windowsill and you're in business. The corn bread is dynamite, perfect for crumbling into the gumbo. After that we had some fried oysters--not the freshest in town, and too much crunchy corn batter. The aioli was heavy with too much mayo in it. After that we had ""da bomb"" and a crawfish monica. First time I've seen a po-boy served on something other than lightly crusty french bread--big mistake; spongy and dense. The catfish was burned beyond recognition, but the shrimp were nice. Don't suppose this is common? Monica was pretty good, with a bit of a mac-n-cheese feel to it. Tons of butter and cream.
Pros: gumbo & cornbread, character, laid back, unique
Cons: burnt seafood, bad po-boy bread
