CRABBY JACK’S
RESTAURANT AUGUST
While Jacques-Imo’s is recommended for dinner, they
do have a sister restaurant called Crabby Jack’s, that
is a perfect lunch spot. Both restaurants are located
in New Orleans, with Crabby Jack’s being on Jeffer-
son, and Jacques-Imo’s bustling in Uptown. At the
café, order one of their specialties, such as Austin
Leslie’s Fried Chicken, which has everyone buzzing.
Served with perfectly round pickle slices resting on
top of the specially-fried, golden-brown chicken, the
meat can be plated in a mixture or all white meat can
be served, for a dollar more. The famous fried chicken
comes with two sides, like Corn Macque Chow and
Smothered Cabbage. There are plenty of other sides
to choose from as well, such as mashed sweet pota-
toes, red or butter beans and rice, country greens, po-
tato salad, slaw, beets, or shoestring fries.

Another locals’ favorite, made to order, is the Deep-
Fried Roast Beef Po Boy, which is also topped with
pickles and served on a warm bed of gravy. The Po
Boy is about as authentic as it gets when it comes to
Cajun creations, but if you’re looking for something a
bit more hearty and just as culturally filling, try the
Crawfish or Shrimp Étouffée, which is served over rice.
Don’t ask, just eat. You won’t be disappointed.
