text: Having a husband from Cajun country Lafayette we decided to give Chez Monieux a try Hubby ordered catfish with okra and hush puppies I had the red beans and rice We also ordered a side of dirty rice After a little wait reasonable for the food our food was served Catfish was nicely breaded nongreasy and wellcooked Okra was lightly breaded more lightly than most places but quite good Hubby did not let me try the hush puppies so they must have been excellent nnAs for the red beans and rice they came on a GIANT flat plate with a large amount of beans a fair amount of sausage and a somewhat small serving of rice plopped next to the side of the beans Now I am no Cajun but this is not how red beans and rice should be served The rice should be on the bottom and the beans should go on top That being said the taste of the beans was decent although not as mushy as red beans normally are and the sausage quite good so I was not too disappointed given that this is Cajun food in ArizonannFinally the dirty rice Well let us just say this is not the dirty rice we expected It was white rice with red and green peppers Dirty rice is called dirty because it has pieces of chicken liver or giblets in it I know that sounds a bit gross but it is authentic and really tasty So skip the dirty rice at Chez Monieux nnChez Monieuxs service was very friendly and everything looked clean enough though somewhat spartan I think it would be more lively on a night when they have live music we actually sat on the stage Anyway I will give them another try with friends and this time I will order the catfish
