This festival is a fundraiser for KKJZ 88.1FM, a publicly-supported radio station.

the people were very nice, good service, good advice to newcomers, the Dallas Stars game was on and the crowd was lively.

All in all, a great place to go for cajun food. Their motto: “we did cajun before cajun was cool”.

It’s a one of a kind, long lived restaurant. My kind of place.

Is the act of cooking blackened food or Cajun style carcinogenic or dangerous to breath in the fumes?

Breathing the fumes while cooking blackened fish makes us all choke and cough, I heard this causes cancer. Is this true.

HI, I work in a restuarant for 6 years that has blackened food on the menu, I don’t think that it will cause you cancer, its just the burning of the mixture of spices caynne pepper, paprika ect that are very irritataing to the nose, throat and lungs. I smoke and even I find the act of blackening food makes me cough and makes my eyes burn but I don’t think it will ever cause you cancer. Hope this helps
