Eating Cajun at Angeline's Louisiana Kitchen

After seeing "Tristan & Yseult" at Berkeley Repertory Theater, we stopped by for a late lunch at Angeline's Louisiana Kitchen in Berkeley.

May years ago, after graduating from Georgia Tech in Atlanta, I moved to Houston, Texas, to work for Compaq Computer. While living in Houston, I started to love and appreciate spicy cajun cooking, especially in restaurants like Pappadeux's. Living in California, I have seen few restaurants offering Cajun dishes.

I liked Angelina's Louisiana Kitchen. It was more like Cajun-style food in Houston - but not as spicy (as probably most Californians would not tolerate it).

We started our meal with Hush Puppies, which are fried cornbread balls. They were delicious, with a spicy kick. I usually prefer plain cornbread with honey, but these were equally delicious.







Inna ordered Buttermilk Fried Chicken, which was really delicious and well-prepared. She let me share a few bites, and it tasted exceptional.



I ordered Crawfish Etouffee as one of my favorite Cajun dishes is Shrimp Etouffee.



For dessert, we ordered Bread Pudding with Bourbon (everything tastes better with Bourbon!)
We really liked the bread pudding!
