When company is in town, the weekend extends. I've eaten at Prejean's before, but tonight's meal is fabu-delicious. I start with Shrimp Sassafrasa, two jumbo shrimp stuffed with pepperjack cheese, grilled Tasso, wrapped with apple wood-smoked bacon, breaded and fried and set in a Crawfish Cardinale cream sauce. The G'ville company wants to try the gumbo (again) and settles on Chicken & Sausage, the best of three. Then there's Oysters Mardi Gras, recommended by the waiter, and Crawfish Enchilada served with rice dressing and corn macque choux. The rice dressing is a plop of dirty rice - the best I've ever had - and corn macque choux is sweet corn kernels and red peppers in a cutsie mini-pie shell. We had no room left for dessert and had to take the Bourbon Street Pecan Pie home with us. Just couldn't resist the description -- buttery caramel pecans, layered on a rich gooey filling with a hint of bourbon, all resting in an all-butter short paste crust.Les Frere's Michot entertained us with cajun music --- they are the uncles and father of Louis & Andre Michot of Lost Bayou Ramblers. Wait, that's Andre sitting in --- ahhh, a Lost Bayou boy. Can't wait to see my guys this trip, hope it's soon.
