Just before placing my order, another customer left and yelled to the proprietor, "that was the best catfish I've ever had!" That probably blew up my expectations a bit, but it was still spicy and burnt on the bottom. I used to come here a lot just to get the blackened catfish, even though so many other things on the menu looked good (gumbo, jambalaya, etouffee). This time, I got jambalaya on the side of the catfish, so we got the best of both worlds. Collared greens and "killer cornbread" add to it.
On a separate but related note, the Farmer's Market in LA has undergone a huge renovation with a plasticky outdoor shopping center attached, but it's not too bad. Actually, the original Farmers Market is still good - lots of various stores, including a store specializing in hot sauces, a store specializing in gourmet food (like olives), and the usual fruit/nuts stores. I'm thinking of returning tomorrow to get corned beef and cabbage as well as maybe even a cajun breakfast. Do come here if you come to LA.

Man this brings back memories.
Used to eat here regularly as a student at USC before moving back to Singapore. Excellent po' boys and great crawfish. Best of all are the beignets and chicory coffee for breakfast.
