Kyle and I went to dinner tonight and if you have ever eaten in New Orleans, LA or have ever wanted a taste of REAL Cajun food then I would highly recommend Alligator Soul in Everett, WA.
Meal started out with an Alligator Beignet – a single morsel that was so full of flavor you wanted to lick the plate to get every last drop of the crawfish white gravy.
Just as they clear those plates the waiter brings us each a plate containing two small bowls. In one was a rich brown nectar of the gods or what mortals would call Gumbo, in the other bowl was the soup of the day- Scallops in a parmesan cream.
Next came the Crawfish ‘n’ Sweet Corn Andouille Grits, this could easily be a meal by itself, but no it didn’t stop there.
Finally we got to the Entrée – going with the chef’s personal recommendation - Hoppin’ Jon Ham Hock – a ham shank on top of a mound of black-eyed peas, collard greens and white rice. If you order this either be prepared for a doggie bag or split it like we did.
Now after all of that we saved the best for last – a light fluffy pastry stuffed with crushed bananas topped with a banana rum caramel sauce and powdered sugar – Banana Foster Beignets. I devoured them even though I don’t eat sweets, they were amazing.
All this plus an atmosphere that was relaxing and filled with a little live jazz music, so if you go I would recommend that you make a reservation. I have eaten in some of the most well know restaurants in New Orleans and this place is equal to any of them.

It sure didn’t hurt that this place is one to the stops that Kyle delivers to and they really appreciate Kyle’s customer service.

I went to The Aligator Soul once with the rest of the crew while working on the Rail Road. I didn't have any money at the time and I just wanted some of their watermelon lemonaid (yummy) so the waitress brought me a bowl of jumbaliah just cause (no charge)
Great People!
This is one of our favorites! I think we'll go there very soon!! DELISH!!!
