I will say that going into this I know it would be a hard sale as my grandmother is from that region, and I grew up eating gumbo, Poboy and red beans and rice. I also travel to New Orleans every few years so I am keen on the flavor profiles. On this occasion, we got the bourbon beef Poboy and a side of the Royal gumbo, which does not have crawfish in it. Overall, the experience was modest at best. I did eat my po boy which had a very good bread and also the bourbon beef itself was OK. I did not enjoy the gumbo at all. The flavors did not feel right to me, but maybe somebody else would enjoy this. I would give this restaurant a 3.5 out of five stars, I will say that the options were very affordable and the restaurant was clean. I also like the fact that they had choices of hot sauce and in the eclectic side options, such as chips from that region, and then also soda with sugarcane in it.

But today when they were at Final Gravity in downtown Kalamazoo, I also had a chance to try their crab boil, and it was absolutely amazing, too. Between four of us we polished off half-sized portion of the boil (crab legs, shrimp, potatoes, corn on the cob, sausage and veggies served in a giant ziplock bag with about a quart of buttery, herby goodness), a po-boy and a small order of pasta jambalaya, and even after having spent the afternoon moving them from their apartment into their new home, we were all stuffed to the gills on less than $50 worth of food. So good. So messy. So many napkins! I had been so excited all week to have one of my favorite food trucks setting up shop outside my favorite brewery, and the experience surpassed even my already lofty expectations. I was a little worried when we arrived at the brewery and there was only one table worth of people there, but for the next couple hours it was a non-stop onslaught of folks coming to take advantage of the tremendous Cajun culinary experience. Some folks were pulling their cars right up next to the food truck and waiting in the road for their po' boys. The staff here does a great job dealing with busy situations, and always seems in a great mood whenever I see them at food truck rallies or other events.
