We’ve had a stir-fry and a bowl of gumbo in the same sitting, but I’m not sure if that counts as AsianCajun cuisine. I didn’t actually mix the bok choy with the roux. The two cultures have remained segregated: a bowl of stir-fry, chased by some gumbo. Such a shame. Luckily we have Serpas; a relatively new restaurant in the Old 4th Ward in the ATL that blends both cultures in one dish. Chef Scott Serpas channels his Louisiana roots and adds a dash of far east spice to create AsianCajun cuisine. We likey. Alot-y.
(ps- above: I’m trying out a new blogger pose. It’s called “grimace-at-poison-ivy-on-wrist.” Kate Moss invented it).
Doesn’t Cath look gorgeous? It must be the post-beignet consumption glow. I would have had it too had I not insulted them and said they were so cold. Isn’t her dress wonderful? I completely forget where she got it. We’ll have to ask her.
My absolute favorite dish we tried at Serpas was this shrimp salad with perfectly ripe avocado and butter-leaf lettuce. nom nom nommmmmmm. To be completely frank, the beignets that were served before the salad were a bit of a let-down. They were served cold (le sigh) and seemed indifferent to their deep-friedness. Parish still has the best beignets in town. (Locals, let me know if I’m wrong. I’m always up for a taste test).
That’s Cath sipping her mimosa. This was a fashion brunch: models walked around in teeny clothes while we shoved powder-sugared beignets in our mouths, and all the proceeds went to Komen for the Cure! Pretty much a perfect morning if you ask me.
Lar: blue dress by Rodarte for Targarte, belt by J.Crew, ring from my lovely friend E via Urban Renewal, boots by Frye.
Cath: errr. Cath, I have no idea. Where you get yur stuffs?
You guys both look too cute! I love the “poison ivy” pose.
I drove by an Asian-Cajun restaurant the other day and totally thought of you two! I had no idea that Asian-Cajun cuisine actually existed until then 🙂
ps. your “Go ahead leave a comment. We love ’em!” link is broken 🙁
Thanks for letting us know, Kimmie! I keep meaning to fix that and forget too!
You gals crack me up. Also, PLEASE post a close-up of those Fryes!

Love your food posts, always a winner in my books 🙂
You both look beautiful ! Love that ring. Where is it from ? Btw, I made an Asian Cajun meat loaf one time and my husband told me that I should mention it to you but I didn’t want to look silly lol. It is meat loaf with rice, cajun spices and veggies in it. I called it the Asian Cajun.
Ring is from Urban Renewal, Duh, I missed it the first time round.
::sigh:: i used to live in o4w! it’s really coming around even more than it was when i was there. you both look adorable, as usual, but that rodarte dress. oh, to die for!
cath: you look lovely! i adore the bag, need to get myself a new one love it when my boyfriend comments that i need to throw my bag because then i get to buy a new one 😉 (the one he’s talking about is the one with studs underneathand i don’t know if i’ll throw it away- but i’ll surely hide it for a while)

Mae Lu, @ thereafterish.
Mostly this post served to make me super hungry! I could so go for a beignet right now, although I have no idea where to get one in Ohio. Guess I’ll sub with a doughnut?:)
YUM 🙂 And whenever I’m at fashion-y events here with skinny models.it somehow makes me want a bunch of doughnuts and french fries too. Hhhhhmmm.
Adore the outfits, am shocked you can still be wearing dresses at this time of the year. I am wearing three pairs of socks and my toes are still frozen!
i love the dress in the first picture! and the ring is just soo cute!

Gosh, you two are so cute! The boots are fantastic.
I want to go on the beignet taste-testing whirlwind tour of Atlanta! I hear Huey’s (right near Intermezzo) has some pretty delicious ones. 🙂
