-> Can someone recommend a good, relatively inexpensive restaurant for
-> New Orleans fare somewhere close to Arlington and/or Clarendon?  I'm
-> new to this area, and I'm dying for something spicy...

There are two N'Orleans restaurants in Alexandria's Oldie Townie area:
Crescent City Grille, which I hear is owned by the same group that owns
Red Hot & Blue and Mick Fleetwood's new club.

The other is Cajun Bangkok, a noble experiment to combine Thai and Cajun
cuisines. Certainly worth visiting for the novelty, but it's a case of
too much of both and not enough of either....

Which brings me to a question. I'm a big fan of virtually all styles and
cuisines. But I can't stand Cajun food. It always taste kinda greasy
and the spicing is overwhelming--as opposed to, say, Thai or Mexican
where the spiciness lends a distinctive flavor.

I know that doesn't make sense which is why I'm asking: Does anyone else
dislike Cajun food? And if so, why??
