MAIN STREET MONTHLY
For the second year in a row, visitors todowntown Luling experienced a taste of Loui-siana during the Annual Luling Main StreetRajun’ Cajun Throwdown Gumbo Cook-off,March 10.
The weather was rainy and cold, but thatdidn’t stop 24 teams from setting up campand competing in the cook-off. Some traveledfrom as far as Baton Rouge, La. to try their luck in winning a cash prize and a coveted VooDoo doll trophy.
Their teamwork, enthusiasm and culinaryefforts were appreciated by everyone in atten-dance. From gumbo to gator, bread puddingto fried oysters, there was something for ev-eryone to sample. For Rajun’ Cajun Cook-off results, see page 2.
Musical entertainment for the event includ-ed the zydeco sounds of The Dr. Zog Band,and Cajun tunes from Chris Rybak with hisspecial guest Flaco Jimenez.
Luling Main Street would like to thank
our Rajun’ Cajun sponsors (see list at right).Without their generous support our fundraiser would not have been possible. Special thanksto Eric Lugo (emcee) and Kevin Gibson (auc-tioneer.
