How many Southerners were yelling "Eh-too-Fay"!!!
Yes lol
😂
I was lmao
I'm Canadian/Chinese and was yelling that. lol
YES
Somebody needs to teach Mike how to say etouffee hahaha
If they calling that gumbo im calling the cops on them.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭🤦♂️... I'm in tears right now...
My sides are in orbit! Hahahaha
Mane I thought that was giblet gravy bro😂😂😂
Amen!!
Lol. I winced when I saw that...and I'm from Washington State.
Mike, if you want the true cajun experience at least come to lafayette or anywhere within a 20 mile radius of there. You will find that to be the most representative of louisiana cajun cuisine. New Orleans is primarily creole but can be a tourist trap for food. They have their own culture both people and food so definitely take the extra 2 hours up hwy 90 to try it out!
Lafayette food >>> New Orleans
i know that now, been living in Louisiana for 5 years now. butttttt Lafayette is very diverse. I can say come down here when its crawfish season and have it in someones home. what's a good place in lafayatte for cajun food per say?
He has already come to Lafayette. He went to Bon Temps Grill on Pinhook and Billy’s in Scott. That said I feel he could stay in the Lafayette area for days.
@@mittu1814Poorboys Riverside Inn, Nash’s in Broussard, Prejeans in Carencro, some items on Johnson's Boucanière’s menu, Shucks in Abbeville….. etc!
Yeah, I live about 35 miles North of Lafayette and these areas are where the Real Cajun food is. Unpopular opinion, but I do not think New Orleans is where the best food is either. Not for representation of us Louisianians.
Commander's Palace is a bucket list restaurant for me. It's spawned such cooking talent, and it remains true to its soul.
It’s a nice experience but the food isn’t what it used to be I live in NOLA
Mikeys a brave man eating there with a nice white shirt. That food looks like heaven on earth.😂❤❤
That was the saddest looking "Gumbo" I have ever seen. Looked more like white bean stew than a real gumbo. The one at Commander's Palace is what gumbo should look like.
It's at a buffet my guy
I'm not even from the South and I agree. I was so confused when he said it was meant to be gumbo.
The color was very bizarre to me.
That bfast buffet place.. I've heard mixed reviews..Most saying it was ok food
Agree. Certainly, the wrong color and waaay too thick.
When Mike comes to eat in Louisiana, please someone be his food guide. Love Mike.
the way he says etouffee lolol
YOU HIT THE JACK POT BUDDY!!!! MY LOCAL BUFFET AND ITS ALWAYS GREAT!!!!! THE BUFFET CHANGES EVERYDAY ALSO.... PLUS THE STAFF ARE AWESOME.... YOU DID BUTCHER THE WORD ETOUFFEE!!! LOL
Cajun food and dining in the company of the KFC colonel right behind him. Truly a Mikey Chen paradise.
I thought the same thing 😅
I love these videos !!! these videos are the best !
This place, The Louisiana Purchase Kitchen isn’t far from my uncles house. We love going there for both the lunch and the dinner buffet. The bread pudding is to die for.
Looks amazing
My family is from the swamps of Louisiana, but I've never heard of eggplant dressing. Now I've got a recipe and I'll be making it this weekend, nice.
Most people put the eggplant to neutralize the liver taste a bit.
Mike, next time you’re back in Redmond, WA, go across Cleveland Street from fairly close to your apartment to Prime Steakhouse and get their Happy Hour bone marrow. You’ll be a happy camper if you like bone marrow. The bacon jam they serve with it is an excellent foil for the lusciousness of the marrow.
Favourite😍 CZcamsr. Never change
I live in New Orleans, and no one's gumbo looks clear.
was going to say that lol. i live on the northshore, and that looked sad.
Exactly…
Yea never heard or seen a gumbo that was clear....
Not that I need to live in the south or New orleans to know that isn't normal.
The very essence of gumbo is cooking the roux to a rich, dark color….whatever he ate might be good but…it’s not gumbo
@@bigmobes825dnt watch then
Hi Mike
The Buffet and Restaurant food looks so delicious. Thank you for sharing.
Next time you're down here, there's a buffet I work at on Xavier Campus. On Fridays we have Fried Catfish and Gumbo, and it's pretty good. Should drop by to try it out
Even I know that that gumbo looked more like chowder….And I’m from the UK🇬🇧😂
🎯🎯🎯
As an Asian who grew up in Louisiana and went to LSU, watching Mike eating subpar looking Cajun food and completely butcher the word "etouffee" hurt real deep
😂
give my man a break. he did something similar in one of the i think Philippines episode
Where’s the best places to eat in New Orleans? Coming from a person who has never been there but visiting soon
VERY SUBPAR!
@mikewhite3182 best food in Louisiana is in the south western Part of the state tbh
Hey Mikey, try to get to Bern's Steakhouse in Tampa, Florida. Enjoy the great food and don't skip the kitchen and wine cellar tours!
14.33 Colonel Sanders enjoying some quality food too
Starts 1:16
Cajun food is one of my favorite 🤤 so rich and flavorful
GO get someeeeeeeee
That first place 🤣💀 wasn't it.....but yes I might need to go to the Commander's Palace 🎉
You'll find that Commander's really isn't it either, but it's a much more expensive lesson to learn there.
These kinds of discoveries like this Cajun buffet are so bittersweet...Because you just know that after this video, that most likely the prices are going to go up (nothing inherently wrong with that, just sucks in general) and it's always going to be super busy. it's just that a lot of these smaller businesses usually struggle to keep up the amazing quality and consistency, when they get suddenly get a ton of customers because of a viral video or being featured somewhere. It can really be a make it or break it moment for the restaurant and it's always depressing to hear that it ended up being the latter.
It's quite a double-edge sword, because it's great to shout-out small local businesses and get them the recognition they deserve, but at the same time you never know it if it'll ever be the same...for better or worse.
Still with all that said, I love the video and love that Mikey shouts-out small out of the way places like this so people like myself can someday try them out! I'm absolutely am drooling over that Cajun buffet! Home cooked southern-style heartwarming food like that is probably my favorite type of foods period but unfortunately it's so hard to find a place that does it right. So that REALLY makes me want to try this place out one day!
If that place was nearby, I'd probably end up eating there more than I eat at home! Especially if it's $12 on weekdays, that's steal no two ways about it! Especially considering the quality and variety of the food. I mean, most chain buffets cost twice that, and while they may have a bigger variety of foods, they don't come anywhere near that quality!
Dont think anybody asked you, just enjoy the food!
Been to NOLA 3 times and would never consider going to a buffet when there are so many other good spots. Willie Mae's is always at the top of my list. Best fried chicken in America and no that's not hyperbole.
You need to tell that to alot of Ppl that thinks disgusting Popeye's chicken has the best chicken🤢... And their sides are just the worse🤢... Ppl truly need know what good fried chicken is and explore their horizons... Not a chicken fast food chain establishment... Smh🤦♂️
I'll claim Popeyes the best ff fried chicken.. Everything is contingent on freshness in receipt.
Nothing could compare to the individual Mom n Pops places with their own recipes and short order production. I'll vote every day for the small business, when it comes to the ff, I'm a Popeyes gal, spicy thighs with immediate hot sauce and honey drizzle whilst I take a bite of that biscuit. Theee best... Also, mashed for the side, skip the drink. It's been too long, lol, can you tell?
The 1st place was actually in Metairie but since most people don't know that city we usually just say nola
With an empty stomach, and when I'm in the mood, I could eat thirty pieces of that sublime fried chicken. I wouldn't though, because these owner-operated local joints need to be respected, not bankrupted, at a time when normal people need these sane prices more than ever. What a jewel!
The way Mikey described the fried chicken, you could tell he’s found his favorite fried chicken in NO
The shrimp henican is so good. That pepper jelly is so divine!
Dang I wish I would have known u were in Metairie lol. Would have loved to let ya. Good to see you enjoyed the food Mike
I love Cajun food!! Your buffet reviews are always so exciting 🤩
The way pricing is today, $12 is awesome!!
Our southern food is so amazing!!!
We know how to put the best flavors TOGETHER!!!!!!!
So crazy how affordable quality is down there, similar buffet with mocked quality would run us north of 60 bucks - 100 too expensive up here.
It's wild for Mikey to go to places I've been going to for years! 🤯
Commander’s Palace spot on everytime.
that bone marrow is still raw man
What kind of gumbo was that ? It just looked like some kind of sad soup 🍜
Mmmmm; there are some 😋 tasty delicious 👀 looking foods being shown and talked about by the listed as advertiser Mike Chen,✌ peace & respect to him and the restaurant owners, cookers and server's.
Commanders Palace, best restaurant in the US. Love that restaurant. Best of the Brendan’s restaurants in NOLA. Upstairs room with the giant tree, great place!
Never heard of eggplant dressing, now I’m intrigued.
The shade thrown at Wicked Spoon 😂 7:56
That food looked really SAD
Yeah he kind of lost some credibility as far as I’m concerned. If something is obviously not that tasty don’t hype it up!
Happy birthday to the people behind you at the Creole restaurant 🎉
Yeeeeeting wagyooooo
That's good, Mikey Chen. You awarded Louisiana best chicken and fish!
Damn Mikey you clean up good that’s Shirt ur wearing !
Hi Mikey!!! Welcome to New Orleans!!! Hope you enjoy your time and our food during your visit!!! Commander's Palace is ❤❤❤!!!
Love the channel
i love shicken too
Is nobody going to mention Colonel Sanders just casually chilling in the background at Commander’s Palace? He sits down at about 13:47
bruh The ninja turtle joke💀🤣
Mike, next time your in south Florida, you NEED to try Le Colonial in Delray Beach, it’s an upscale Vietnamese restaurant with a French fusion
No one wants to visit Florida anymore, too many crazies over there! 😂🤣
@@LeeBo318 that’s north Florida lol, south is all good, you just avoid a few areas that’s all
We eat like this all the time down here😂
I have no reference for this in person but I thought gumbo was supposed to be dark roux and thinner. Like coats a spoon but not gravy consistency? (I've never had it in Hawai'i but made a few times from Issac Toupe's recipes and hoped it was correct because it wasn't like anything I had ever tasted, but pretty great.)
14:44 Mikey filmed and found Col. Sanders 😂
Colonel sanders was sitting behind you😊
That gumbo looked quite sad it's usually a deep red color that was so pale in color
gumbo is brown, not red....
Hey Chen food man
We from Kenner and tried Louisiana Purchase once years ago. Once was one too many. That was knock off, straight outta a can cajun food. If yall come to NOLA and want to try local food outside the city please go to a real cajun restaurant. I, personally, suggest yall go to a part of Metairie called Bucktown and try New Orleans Food and Spirits for everything on the menu, but mainly chargrilled oysters and voodoo rolls. Next door is R&O's for a debris poboy (Anthony Bourdain even did a show about this place). Across the road is Deanie's Seafood for they Fried seafood platter and bbq shrimp.
Mikey I hope you know how many people's dreams you are living lol
Buffet looked awesome. Other. I'm good
when are you coming to OKC? Helluva Vietnamese district and overall a better food scene than people think
Yummy that chicken though
Eh-too-fay. Or as my mom would say, same same 😂
You came to London near my home
That fried chicken is making me want some fried chicken right now at nearly 10 PM this night! Good fried chicken is a thing of beauty. I'll have to check out Louisiana Purchase Kitchen if ever I go to NOLA in my lifetime.
14:33 is that the colonel 😳
It cracks me up every time he says amush booje
6:48 hahaha😂
The first eatery was just real hearty cooking..i prefer that
13:48 Colonel Sanders at the back !!
Looking smart!
I wish I could eat seafood, looks delish! Hope Mrs C is well. Xx
I'm glad to see some drips on your shirt at Commander's Palace....
Gumbo is not clear, must be confusing it with the asian soups on his journeys
Like 640 👍
Greetings from Naples, Florida. Everything looks so delicious. I lived in Louisiana many years ago (in Alexandria), and love, love Cajun/Creole food. Thanks so much for sharing, have a great week. 💯
The Catfish Shak was the bomb!
Hey there, fellow 239-er! ✌️😋
I almost didn't recognise Mikey in a shirt! Looking snazzy dude!!!
Thought I seen colonel sanders at 13:54
Ag1 made in NZ 😊
Glad to see Colonel Sanders still healthy in the background 😅
Should have tried Houmas House.
Is that bone marrow raw or that's just how it is supposed to be cooked?
No, that's how it's supposed to look.
Yeah that second bite of that bone marrow looked a little raw to me too it was too red and bloody.
Blood was dripping outta his mouth that sheet raw as a mf
13:48 Colonel Sanders in the house 🙌
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I think it was April's boss that was always trying to eat Turtle Soup 😂 and she would always dump it on his head!
He looks so nice in a dress shirt
Wow that's awesome thanks for sharing Pete cape town south Africa don't have any buffets here but other amazing food do join me for a BBQ but we call it a braai
Bruh. Im so hungry now
I needed a bucket to catch the drool 🤤 YUMMMMMMMM
Bone Marrow doesn't look cooked all the way! 😮
shout out Colonel Sanders behind you 😂
I've always wanted to go the Commander's Palace. But this will be the closest I can get. I did do the Palace Cafe, which I heard is their budget restsuraunt thats more casual.
It is very nice. Yes, you must go at least once. Expensive 😊
I’m curious was that eggplant dressing??? Or Mirilton dressing
I think louisiana purchase got its name cause the louisiana purchase was quite the steal. a 12 dollar buffet for a adult is great.
Food so Delicious 😋 and mouth watering. L.o.l ❤❤
finally got the ag1. used your link hope it helps your channel.
Its from today too! Cool!
That Gumbo ain’t it jack! But glad to see you visit the boot. Lotta good eating that’s for sure. Swing through east Texas we’ll feed ya
What is that place called with 12 buffet
