San Antonio Restaurant Guide
Short Order: New Orleans Soul Food and Cajun
Restaurant
Web Posted: 09/04/2007 04:14 PM CDT
San Antonio Express-News
The last time we went to New Orleans Soul Food and Cajun Restaurant, we went on a Monday so we could have the red beans and rice. That's an old Louisiana tradition, since you need to start the beans the night before.
And we were glad we did. We loved the creamy beans over rice, especially with a shot or two of hot sauce that kicked the well-seasoned dish up a notch, as one New Orleans chef might say.
You can have the red beans with sausage or fried chicken (fried to order, so it takes time), and I honestly can't tell you which I preferred. On the one hand, the too-hot-to-touch fried chicken is moist and tender, but on the other the juicy sausage is perfectly spicy. I loved them both.
But my friend and I were not prepared for our host announcing the kitchen also had Cajun cornbread that day.
What was Cajun cornbread, we asked.
Cornbread made with country sausage, shrimp and crawfish tails and then covered in a roux. We asked for an order to go, but it was so tasty that not a crumb made it out the door.
That's the beauty of New Orleans Soul Food. Everything tastes homemade, but by an outstanding home cook. You just need to exercise patience, as she can only cook so fast and much of the food is prepared to order.
The menu also changes daily, with Friday's fish specials and Sunday's baked macaroni and cheese tempting me back for more.
The Wednesday chicken and dumplings was the only mixed dish we tried, and that's because the dumplings were undercooked, slick and full of raw flour. But the chicken and gravy were too good to cause a complaint.
