EP 294. D.I.'s Cajun Restaurant Reflects Local Way of Life

Published: Oct. 13, 2022, 9:30 a.m.

D.I.'s Cajun Restaurant is an unassuming building out in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by Tee Mamou Prairie rice fields in Acadia Parish, Louisiana. You know you're in the right place because the gravel-and-beer-cap parking lot is filled with locals that have eaten here for generations, enjoying live cajun music 3-4 nights weekly. \xa0Owner Sherry Fruge tells why and how she and her late husband, D.I., started the restaurant when farming got tough back in the '70s. Never dreaming that D.I.'s "special way of boiling crawfish" would become a local cultural icon that's since been inducted into the Cajun Music Hall of Fame, she describes hands-on involvement, memorable events, and why restaurant and community are one in the same.
