Cajon in LA

[Captain Hongo]

We used to have lots of Cajun restaurants in LA. The best was Orleans in West LA, but they merged with Rick Royces's Ribs and then both disapeared. Now all we have is Uncle Darrows. Good, but more like fast food than classic. Any one know any places, maybe in Pasadena area?

I don't know if anyone will ever see this, but, thanks, Chris and others. I finally got to the Ragin Cajun and I was blown away. It's great!! Thanks for the tip.
