A July 4th Tradition: The Bluesiana Burger

July 1, 2024 by George Graham 16 Comments

A July 4th Tradition: The Bluesiana Burger

The Fourth of July holiday is my favorite family holiday: no last-minute dash for flowers, no arduous trek to the mall for gifts, not even a holiday card.  It’s just a leisurely American celebration of family and freedom.  And it’s the perfect day to fire up the grill. I’ve always had a hunger for hamburgers,…

Fillet of Flounder with Crabmeat Dressing

June 17, 2024 by George Graham 15 Comments

Fillet of Flounder with Crabmeat Dressing

Layers of flavor elevate this dish! The punch of saffron and lemon in the smooth velouté sauce contrasts the sweet blue crab and fresh Gulf fish in this Fillet of Flounder with Crabmeat Dressing. This recipe is exceptional in every way. Of all the coastal Louisiana fish species, flounder is at the top of my…

Crabmeat-Stuffed Artichoke

June 3, 2024 by George Graham 15 Comments

Crabmeat-Stuffed Artichoke

When I saw the large artichokes stacked high at the produce stand, I knew in an instant that crabmeat-stuffed artichoke would be the perfect dish for a summertime appetizer.  It was time to get stuffing. Though hardly Cajun, globe artichokes are actually a cultivated variety of thistle.  But, in the hands of an adventurous cook, the…

Who Has The Best Burger in Acadiana?

It’s burger season, ya’ll!  National Hamburger Week and the Memorial Day holiday are all the signals South Louisiana needs to fire up the grill and break out the buns.  Put away the propane crawfish boiling rigs; summertime backyard burger bashes are firing up all over Acadiana. “Who has the best burger in Acadiana?” is the…

Pan-Griddled Pork Chops with Goat Cheese Mashed Potatoes and Mustard Green Gravy

I never met a pork chop I didn’t like.  Ok, if you’ve spent any time at my Acadiana Table you know I love pork chops, and the simpler the better.  This weekend, Roxanne decided to make my favorite Cajun recipe for pan-griddled pork chops and mashed potatoes for dinner, and I decided to join in…

Whole Flounder stuffed with Louisiana Shrimp

May 13, 2024 by George Graham 7 Comments

Whole Flounder stuffed with Louisiana Shrimp

To me, flounder is flat-out the most delectable of all the Gulf finfish.  And for my money, a classic Cajun recipe for stuffed whole flounder with wild-caught, Gulf shrimp is the ultimate dish for someone as seafood-obsessed as me.  Whenever I see it on a restaurant menu, I can’t resist.  And I couldn’t resist the…

Strawberry Muffins

May 6, 2024 by George Graham 1 Comment

Strawberry Muffins

Scratch-baking a batch of strawberry muffins sounds like a lot of work for a fruit that is so easily consumed simply piled high atop a scoop of ice cream or morning bowl of cereal, but there is a reason.  When baked, Louisiana strawberries take on a deeper and richer taste–a syrupy sweet depth of flavor. …

Hopper Poppers: Bacon-Wrapped Rabbit Poppers

April 22, 2024 by George Graham 2 Comments

Hopper Poppers: Bacon-Wrapped Rabbit Poppers

This Hopper Popper might be the best single-bite appetizer you’ve ever tasted. A spicy jalapeno pepper filled with Brie cheese surrounds buttermilk-brined rabbit meat in a smoky bacon-wrapped package that is deep-fried golden brown. Oh yeah! Not quite sure when this whole “popper” thing burst onto the Cajun food scene, but my hunch is it…

Chic Steak Sandwich at the Acme Café

Ding…ding…ding! Order up! Chic Steak Sandwich, extra mayo, hold the pickle! My father, George Graham, Sr., was slinging burgers at White Tower in Michigan in the years before WW II and wound up welding aircraft parts in a factory in Detroit until war’s end.
