[title type="h5"]Coolinary With Hot Flavors At K-Paul's.[/title]
The spirit of Creole and Cajun cooking that got everybody in America worked up when Chef Paul Prudhomme made his big splash in the 1970s and 1980s is in full force in K-Paul's summer menu. Not only does this illustrate better what the local cuisine is all about than anything else I can think of, but the price is attractive even by Coolinary standards: $36 for the whole three-course repast. I'll bet you haven't been to K-Paul's in a long time. Time to recall what a difference that restaurant made.
