Blackened Shrimp and Andouille Sausage Gumbo
This packs a punch, with flavors from the Bayou! Blacked shrimp and andouille sausage are nestled in a rich roux flavored with Cajun spices and shrimp stock. Served over white rice with a dash of Louisiana hot sauce. This dish pairs best with a Pale Ale such as Blue Moon Belgium White. The slight citrus flavor blends nicely with the smokiness of the sausage.
Dante's Inferno Chicken and Cheddar Waffles
This savory chicken and waffle dish incorporates a knockout punch of spices for anyone that appreciates the spicier things in life! Double-fried chicken strips are stacked on top of a buttermilk cheddar waffle and drizzled with a ghost pepper strawberry & maple syrup. This has all the components of a good dish - savory, sweet, and a whole lot of heat! Serve with a Amber Lager such as Michelob Amberbock to cut through the richness of the chicken.
Hot Honey Buttermilk Biscuits
Ditch the tube of pre-made biscuits and make your own from scratch! Trust me, these biscuits are flaky, buttery, and oh so soft. Serve with jelly, white pepper gravy, or as a breakfast biscuit layered with bacon, egg, and cheese.

Cinnamon & Sugar French Toast Fried Chicken Stacks
Skip the chicken and waffles and dive into this new twist. These chicken tenders are marinated in buttermilk and Cajun spices for 24 hours, resulting in the most moist and flavorful chicken. Piled high on a stack of cinnamon and sugar buttery French toast, this dish hits all the high notes. Finished with a generous drizzle of warm buttery maple syrup, one bite will make you think you're dreaming! Eating for dinner, pair with the champagne of beers of course, Miller High Life. Prosecco also pairs amazingly well, cleansing the palate after each bite and complimenting the sweetness of the maple syrup, without being overpowering.
Cast Iron Potatoes Au Gratin

After one bite, you'll be a convert to ditch the boxed version!
Sugar Dusted Corn Fritters
This delicious side will take you straight to the time you were last at the county fair! These nuggets of gold are filled with sweet corn and dusted with powdered sugar. This southern side is a cross between a funnel cake and a powdered sugar donut. I don't know anyone that could say no to either! If serving as a snack, pair this with a boozy coke float .
