3 | Elizabeth is one of my favorite parts of town; I love how old houses have been remade into restaurants and offices. Too often charming old buildings are paved over and replaces with concrete boxes. The Cajun Queen is in one of these old homes, and this lends it a very intimate and warm atmosphere.\n\nOf course, atmos... | en | 197 | elizabeth one favorite parts town love old houses remade restaurants offices often charming old buildings paved replaces concrete boxes cajun queen one old homes lends intimate warm course atmosphere everything comes restaurants food cajun queen fortunately well tables started fried oyster appetizer hit emarkably light... | 104 |

1 | Maybe it's because I've been to New Orleans or have friends from Louisiana but I don't know what the big to do about Cajun Queen is.
