Alzina's Kitchen In Galliano, Louisiana

Alzina Toups is the only employee you'll find at Alzina's.

There is no wait staff, and there's no menu.

What Kind Of Food Is At Alzina's Kitchen?

As mentioned before, there's no set menu but there are few dishes Ms Alzina is known for.

Spicy Smothered Shrimp, Crabmeat Lasagna, Black-Eyed Pea Jambalaya, quite a few different kinds of gumbos, and her homemade dinner rolls are just a few of Ms Alzina's greatest hits according to louisianacookin.com.

To date, Ms Alzina has written two cookbooks: Cajun’s Joy: Cookin’ and Eatin’ and Cooking for Life: a Cajun Guide to Healthy Eating.
