Cajun Grilling Dinner on the Patio

By Sandra Booher | May 25, 2016 |

The Cajun Grilling Dinner on the Patio is one of our most popular dining experiences here at the Mansion. The Dinner is a 7 course meal served one course at a time and it lasts about 2 hours. Lots of good conversations and good relationships are built around the large granite island on the Patio. The Cajun culture is mostly about the camaraderie of good conversations, good people, music and the succulent Cajun food.

It’s not uncommon to have more than one couple having dinner on the patio, especially if one couple sees the other couple having fun and enjoying the beauty of the back yard and the patio. Cajun music is always playing and the large table tiki torch on the over sized granite island is always lit to keep the mosquitoes away.

When I created the Cajun Grilling Dinner I wanted the ultimate patio dining experience, the way Cajuns do it. I not only wanted the perfect Cajun Meal, I wanted my guests to enjoy the Cajun culture too. Most of all, I wanted them to experience what backyard get-togethers were all about here in Cajun country. Friendship, Music and Food and how it all blends together nicely.
