"The Rougaroux exterior doesn’t look like much, and that’s OK, because the Cajun food inside is doing all the heavy lifting. Stop into this fast-casual New Orleans establishment when you need a quick hit of smoky chicken gumbo and some Zombie bread oozing with melted cheese and crawfish tails on Leidenheimer french bread. If you have a bit more time, find a seat at the bar with a friend and reminisce about the time you traded your pants for a bead necklace made up of tiny alligators during Mardi Gras. Then, bury your regret with an oyster rockefeller po’boy—the creamy spinach and parmigiano reggiano spread balances out those crispy fried oysters. photo credit: Kelli Dirks photo credit: Kelli Dirks photo credit: Kelli Dirks photo credit: Kelli Dirks Pause Unmute" - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
