A couple weekends ago we went to Tapalaya with our good friends, Brandy and Dave. Tapalaya is a cajun/creole small plates place here in Portland, on "restaurant row" in the Kerns neighborhood. Julian and I have been to Tapalaya a few times, but not recently, and we'd been planning on going here with Brandy and Dave for almost a year. Having Hank sort of delayed things - but we finally made it happen! And we even went the week of Mardi Gras, how fitting.
We all enjoyed our food - between the four of us we got quite a few things and we shared most of it (that's the best part of small plates, you get to try so many different dishes). A few highlights were the crabby mac n'cheese, pulled pork slider, seafood jambalaya, Crawfish fritters, smothered brussels sprouts, collard greens and salmon croquettes.
