Crazy Creole Sausage King

I could hardly finish eating my food before needing to jump on Yelp and tell you guys how bomb this food is!!Caught them at the local SBDINDINAGOGO and was one of the first in line. Ordered the Red beans and rice plate with a side of crazy man n cheese and creole potato salad. Frriiiiiiiggin A it was so good!! red beans and rice was awesomely spicy with hearty slices of sausage in it. The mac n cheese and potato salad also had good complimentary flavor. I was stuffed to the brim half way through but couldn't even stop myself from eating it was so delicious.For dessert I ordered the banana pudding (I wanted peach cobbler but they were out :( ). It was pretty good but a little sweeter then then I'm used to and not as thick as some homemade ones I've had (which can be good or bad depending on what you like )The only slight downside is it takes a bit of time for the food to come out, but admittedly there are only two people on the truck and indeed it is worth the wait :)I cannot WAIT to introduce my friends to this truck! needless to say I will be back :)

With traffic at a complete stop on the 110 near the Coliseum, figured I'd cut up Hoover instead to save my sanity. It was just after 2p and wasn't expecting to see any trucks at this point but noticed an unwrapped one parked in the usual corridor by USC. I noticed the "Crazy Creole Café" sign on the door and figured at the very least would be able to check out their menu for a future visit. I was pleasantly surprised when Chef Guy let me know they just pulled up and were ready to go. My initial thought was to go for a dressed shrimp po boy but with the bread not there yet, went with the bowl of Jambalaya which he said is his signature dish. Now I can see why. The rice had just the right amount of "dirty" with huge chunks of chicken, lots of shrimp and three kinds of sausage. There was just enough heat to add flavor but nothing that lingered. I went back to order the bread pudding and while waiting, he gave me a sample of the Shrimp Creole which is now an instant favorite. The flavors in the tomato based sauce jumped out at me and it took a bite of shrimp to help cool those taste buds down. I didn't bother asking what spices he used, or how much Tabasco, but it was enough to have that perfect blend that makes you wanting more. And the bread pudding?? Raise soaked in Jack Daniels. I don't think this requires further explanation and will leave it at just "amazing." I can't wait to see how this truck looks after the wrap is complete and really look forward to future visits. Both the service and food are well deserving of 5-stars!!

Do you hear a band playing or is that just the sound of the second line after eating from this food truck? My oh my, the crazy creole makes one mean shrimp creole. They're also serving up an oyster po'boy. I do love me some po boy sandwiches and while I have seen many trucks tackle shrimp, chicken and many other meats, this is the first one that has the rock hard shells to try oysters. I have to say, it was damn delicious.If you're like me and you want the challenge of replicating a dish you had at an establishment, this truck makes it a little easier by putting up their recipes on the website. Now, I have tried to do some Cajun cooking in the past and while I got close, it's nothing compared to the experience and love that this truck puts into their dishes. Guy DuPlantier has got to be the exact definition of southern hospitality as the service from this truck is spot on the best. This man may be a crazy creole but I would gladly follow him if it means I'll be getting me some of that oh so tasty creole. I mean, this man makes some sick alligator tacos. And yes, in case you're wondering, it does taste like fucking chicken. Big freakin' babies who are afraid to eat it. This truck is as authentic without going over to the cartoonishly Emeril lagasse BAM sort of way.. Well, just a little bit of that, But at least it's not kicking anything up by any notches other than flavor. Amazing food that will make you feel like you're in the big easy. Without all the FEMA headaches and requirement to show your boobs for plastic beads. Though you may want to flash someone when you taste how good your food is.

What can I say but this had to be the worst food experience I've ever had. They were parked at Wine Expo last night 12/22/2011. So after a few tastings of wine with a friend, decided to try this truck out. Ordered the jambalaya plate and the shrimp po boy.Jambalaya was mooshy like it had been sitting around all day and had no taste. I had ordered mac and cheese and a potato salad as the sides but was given some incredibly bland green beans and the potato salad instead. Okay whatevers. Who hasn't had bland, totally mooshy food and paid too much for it? It's L.A. That happens all the time.I had saved the shrimp po boy for today, a day later. Popped it into the microwave to warm it up and took a bite. Noticed that the shrimp was rather squishy and didn't want to look but had too. THE DAMN SHRIMP IN THE SANDWICH WAS RAW!!!! How did I know it was raw? Well right next to the raw one there was an actual cooked one that was nice and white and firm and not grey and uncooked. Unfortunately that was the only cooked shrimp in the sandwich and all the rest were raw.Wow really?! Raw shrimp? You want someone to get sick or die you jack asses? Thought I wouldn't notice because I'd had a few drinks huh?

Some times a truck gets so busy taking care of orders, it's easy to mistake that busy-ness with disinterest. So it was nice to see someone genuinely passionate about what they do. I'm not suggesting that other truck operators don't care as well. But Guy went out of his way to make sure I had a fair shot at what his truck has to offer on my second go-around.I had the Oyster Po Boy, which I missed the first time, made-to-order and it did not disappoint. It was all good, and I cant even think of a place where you could get something similar. They're the only game in town. Also sampled their Catfish Plate and that was just as good. Had a nice texture and crunch to it. This came w 2 sides, Crazy Mac n Cheese and Crazy Potato Salad. Their Mac was a nice change of pace. A lot of places do a fine mac n cheese, but usually err to the side of a creamy bechamel. The Crazy Mac was definitely more on the cheesy side, and more flavorful as a result. Now, I dont even like potato salad that much, but I could tell there was good stuff in this. It made for a nice refresher in between bites of catfish.I'll pass along their name to my Louisiana-expatriate friends, see if they pass muster. Hopefully I'll see them around more often, cuz you'd be hard pressed to find anything better in the South Bay.

I was hungry at 10:30pm and this particular evening only had 2 trucks on Sawtelle. Maybe because it was late? Nevertheless, I decided to try the Crazy Creole Cafe. Service was quick. I took my food home. I ordered the Jambalaya with mac salad and crazy mac and cheese. The food I though was just OK, maybe a little on the dried side. Perhaps that was because it was late at night. It had nice flavor, but not much meat. The mac and cheeses was good, so was the mac salad.I will try this again and see if the food was any better.

Wow! I tried both the gumbo (YUM) and got a bowl of the jumbalaya (YUM) which I gobbled down like a fiend even though it was steamy hot. Mmm, great spicy flavor on both dishes.They just made my favorite food truck list.

Great Food... Thank youChef Guy does not disappoint. The Beef Hot Link Po Boy was the bomb..The Gumbo Ya Ya was Great. Thanks for the sample of Catfish it was very very good and I'm not a fan of catfish. Nawlins Bread Pudding was GREAT... in short this was the best New Orleans Style Food on the west Coast... Glad I found you on Twitter Thanks Again

I needed to plan a memorial service for my mom, who loved Creole/Cajun food. I only had a few days to plan the reception that would feed 100 people, so I called the Crazy Creole Cafe to see if they could cater the event. I had sampled the gumbo and jambalaya from their truck but had never used their catering services. I was very pleased with the Crazy Creole Cafe's catering services. Guy assisted me in selecting the menu and made suggestions to order the Cajun potato salad and green beans as side dishes, which complimented the jambalaya very nicely. My family and friends only like chicken and fish and love spicy food, so Guy customized our order by only using shrimp, chicken and chicken sausage and made sure that the jambalaya was extra spicy. He can adjust the spice level for anyone's taste. By the time the service ended, Guy had arrived, set up the food in the church's reception hall and was ready to serve lunch as soon as we entered the room. He and his very professional staff did an outstanding job and everyone commented on how good the food was. The jambalaya was loaded with large shrimp, chicken and sausage. The potato salad was the best I've ever tasted! It was spicy, creamy and full of flavor. The green beans were equally fantastic! I would highly recommend the Crazy Creole Cafe Catering Services for your event, whether it be a wedding, luncheon, dinner party or reception, Guy Duplantier will prepare, deliver and set up a wonderful meal, no matter how many people you have to feed. His catering business is the best!

Our local wine store caters food trucks often, and they have a great track record. On top of that, I've had some pretty amazing Louisiana-style home cooking. Chef Guy does not disappoint! We ordered the Seafood Gumbo, Shrimp Creole, and Crawfish Etouffee. The shrimp instantly became my favorite with the savory tomato sauce and the mix of spices creeping right up behind. The crawfish was cooked perfectly and the richness of the sauce made it one of the best dishes I've ever had. Guy doesn't skimp on the gumbo either, cramming in tons of meat and fish. The crab was a little tough to get into, but the taste made it so worth it.The flavors were so diverse and amazing we almost went back for more. In fact the only reason we stayed home was that we were too filled up by the delicious homemade desserts. Both the Bread Pudding and Pecan Pie were so perfect that we were torn between having to share and eating the whole thing ourselves. The pie was like a pile of roasted pecans glued together with caramel and sat in a flaky crust, and the bread pudding was better than any I've had ,don't tell my grandma!They seem to usually be based in Long Beach, which is quite a drive from me in Thousand Oaks. For this food though, I'd drive just about anywhere in California!
