native_Houstonian Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Back on topic, I've always enjoyed Steamboat Bills in Lake Charles. (On I-10 as soon as you cross the big bridge). They serve pistelettes which are soft rolls, which are quick fried (think donut but not sweet), and then filled with either shrimp or crawfish etouffee. Mmmm mmm good!

crunchtastic Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Thanks for posting the pic. I guess when they say 'everything' gumbo, that is the excuse for corn in the gumbo. Corn? It looked good, though. Mmmm. Love the fried chix livers. Need to do a road trip. P.S. did you get the cilantro beef at the 8s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S. did you get the cilantro beef at the 8s? well.....i asked about the gumbo and she said "each batch is different." the 3 of us that ordered gumbo were all pleased. beer was ridiculously cheap either 1.5 or 1.75 i ended up getting the version with the pork and dried tofu.

I've heard their fried oysters are 2di4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. B Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Sorry to tell you but that picture must be from some Texas Gumbo Version. I spent my whole life growing up in South Louisiana and have eaten many Gumbos.Up until recent years you would never see a gumbo with the consistancy as in the picture. That is more like a stew or etouffee.Everyone thinks that Gumbo should be this thick mess and I can tell you that is not so. In 11 years haven't found anyplace in Houston or surrounding suburbs that made really good cajun food. But Luckily I can just cook it myself.
