I don’t think this was remotely racist – do you?

I am lucky enough to live in a very culturally diverse city, that has a very large Vietnamese and Korean population. In fact, we have an entire ‘Asian District’ that is mostly Vietnamese-run businesses, of which many (most) are restaurants.

I work as a sideline doing restaurant reviews for a local news-zine.

A new restaurant opened up in the Asian district, and I set out to review it. It was touted as a Cajun restaurant.

Well, I go there, and it is not remotely Cajun whatsoever. The ‘special’ was wok-fried shrimp fried rice, and the other dishes were similar – Asian style seafood dishes. I did a little homework, and discovered that the restaurant is owned by a family of Vietnamese people who own several other restaurants in the district. They are cooking ‘cajun’ food in a wok…

Anyhoo, in my review, I stated that this was NOT the place to go for good Cajun food, and indicated that it was in no way, shape, or form, Cajun. I said it was mediocre Vietnamese food (which it was).

I then got a nasty letter from someone who read my review that said I was just racist and didn’t like Asians. WTF?

Do you think I was out of line? I mean – this place was NOT fusion-style at all – just straight off bad quasi cajun food that bore no resemblance to what was advertised…
Just fyi – I have nothing against people from the Far East, or the cuisine they prepare. I am a notorious Pho eater, and Thai food junkie…I don’t think I was being unreasonable to expect what was advertised, and be disappointed when I didn’t get it.

Not racist at all. You gave your opinion and someone didn’t like it, and they had to find a way to attack you. I wouldn’t give it another thought.

Boiled Shrimp are a favorite around our house all year round. People all over in Georgia and the Carolinas call a Cajun Shrimp Boil a Low Country Boil. Here in Louisiana we just call it boiling shrimp, or having a shrimp boil.

Anyway, here’s our boiled shrimp recipe from the Cajun recipes at Cajun Cooking TV.

Louisiana Culinary Trails – Seafood Sensations

Bordered by Texas to the west and Cajun Country to the east, southwestern Louisiana has developed its own brand of cooking. Rustic, spicy, and stick-to-your-ribs might best describe the food of this marshland. Dominating menus are fried and boiled seafood, pork stew, catfish courtbouillon, rice dressing, shrimp and okra gumbo, jambalaya, wild game, and lots and lots of rice. This trail zigzags across the southwestern corner of the state, sometimes known as the Louisiana Outback, stopping at a variety of crawfish houses, oyster bars, cafes, and grocery stores.
