Well, it was a treat to travel with Glenn on his BIRTHDAY! Needless to say, we had to work most of the day but then we got a chance to celebrate his big day. Of course, Glenn selected his favorite items combined, cajun and seafood. We ended up at Pappadeaux in Austin and it was my pleasure to treat him to a great meal.
- Pappadeaux is a mid-level seafood restaurant with a flare to the cajun side of the world (spicy)
- This is a chain of all kinds of restaurants that started in Houston and has spread slowly across the country (one of my favorite chains by the way)
- I have been to these restaurants numerous times including Pappadeaux, Pappasito’s, Pappa BBQ, Pappas Bros (high class steak house) and Pappas Burger; there are still others I need to visit
- Appetizer started with boiled jumbo shrimp
- Cocktail sauce seasoned with a chunk of garlic
- Followed up by a great bowl (cup for me) of gumbo; yum
- Thick, rich sauce full of oyster, fish, andouille sausage and shrimp
- Glenn had his norm of fried oysters
- Thick, large fried oysters with a little cajun spice; of course Glenn soaked with Tabasco
- I had my regular of crawfish platter which included crawfish etouffee and fried crawfish
- Spicy, juicy etouffee with dirty rice and a nice heaping of fried crawfish (dipped in cajun cocktail sauce)
- Since it was his birthday (and only because it was his birthday), we had to have dessert
- Glenn had the super large portion of bread pudding, soaked in cream sauce with blueberries; ONE candle (representing, well we will not say how many years)
- I had the itty-bitty turtle fudge brownie with ice cream and just a little extra chocolate sauce
- Wow, what a meal
- Goal was achieved as Glenn had a good birthday dinner
- Ranking: 8.5
