Chicken Etouffée - 2 Pack
Etouffée literally translates to “to smother,” like Brenda’s does to this chicken with tons of spices and love! It’s slowly simmered with butter, hot sauce, and the Holy Trinity of onions, celery, and bell peppers. Serve with a freshly steamed pot of white rice and sliced scallions.
Brenda Buenviaje grew up in the small town of Harvey, Louisiana, just across the Mississippi River from New Orleans. In 2007 she brought her unique brand of Creole cuisine to San Francisco, where it was an immediate hit. Crowds flock to Brenda’s French Soul Food, lining up for hours to get a taste of her soul-satisfying comfort food.

Brenda's French Soul Food REVIEWS
On-time delivery, along with timely arrival notices, were a big first-step to making me a loyal follower. The deciding factor was exquisite taste - especially the immense butterball biscuits that made every bite of red beans and rice a tasty sensation.

The entire process of ordering and shipping of gifts went great! In spite of public notices from various shippers about possible delays due to high volume of packages at Christmas time, I was very impressed by a notice that the order was shipped on a Tuesday afternoon and arrived 3000 miles away less than 24 hours later.

Red beans and rice were great. The biscuits were amazing, literally melt-in-your-mouth. The gumbo had a really good flavor. The strainer was nice but I didn't use it, I had my own. The addition of beads was appreciated.
