The GREATEST Secret Cajun/Creole BUFFET & LUXURY Creole Dinner at Commander’s Palace in New Orleans 

How many Southerners were yelling "Eh-too-Fay"!!!

When Mike comes to eat in Louisiana, please someone be his food guide. Love Mike.

Somebody needs to teach Mike how to say etouffee hahaha

Commander's Palace is a bucket list restaurant for me. It's spawned such cooking talent, and it remains true to its soul.

Mikeys a brave man eating there with a nice white shirt. That food looks like heaven on earth.😂❤❤

If they calling that gumbo im calling the cops on them.

I love Cajun food!! Your buffet reviews are always so exciting 🤩

I love these videos !!! these videos are the best !

This place, The Louisiana Purchase Kitchen isn’t far from my uncles house. We love going there for both the lunch and the dinner buffet. The bread pudding is to die for.

Even I know that that gumbo looked more like chowder….And I’m from the UK🇬🇧😂

the way he says etouffee lolol

Looks amazing

Favourite😍 RU-vidr. Never change

YOU HIT THE JACK POT BUDDY!!!! MY LOCAL BUFFET AND ITS ALWAYS GREAT!!!!! THE BUFFET CHANGES EVERYDAY ALSO.... PLUS THE STAFF ARE AWESOME.... YOU DID BUTCHER THE WORD ETOUFFEE!!! LOL

Mike, next time you’re back in Redmond, WA, go across Cleveland Street from fairly close to your apartment to Prime Steakhouse and get their Happy Hour bone marrow. You’ll be a happy camper if you like bone marrow. The bacon jam they serve with it is an excellent foil for the lusciousness of the marrow.

Mike, if you want the true cajun experience at least come to lafayette or anywhere within a 20 mile radius of there. You will find that to be the most representative of louisiana cajun cuisine. New Orleans is primarily creole but can be a tourist trap for food. They have their own culture both people and food so definitely take the extra 2 hours up hwy 90 to try it out!

That was the saddest looking "Gumbo" I have ever seen. Looked more like white bean stew than a real gumbo. The one at Commander's Palace is what gumbo should look like.

Hi Mike The Buffet and Restaurant food looks so delicious. Thank you for sharing.

Starts 1:16

Cajun food and dining in the company of the KFC colonel right behind him. Truly a Mikey Chen paradise.

Next time you're down here, there's a buffet I work at on Xavier Campus. On Fridays we have Fried Catfish and Gumbo, and it's pretty good. Should drop by to try it out

14.33 Colonel Sanders enjoying some quality food too

We from Kenner and tried Louisiana Purchase once years ago. Once was one too many. That was knock off, straight outta a can cajun food. If yall come to NOLA and want to try local food outside the city please go to a real cajun restaurant. I, personally, suggest yall go to a part of Metairie called Bucktown and try New Orleans Food and Spirits for everything on the menu, but mainly chargrilled oysters and voodoo rolls. Next door is R&O's for a debris poboy (Anthony Bourdain even did a show about this place). Across the road is Deanie's Seafood for they Fried seafood platter and bbq shrimp.

My family is from the swamps of Louisiana, but I've never heard of eggplant dressing. Now I've got a recipe and I'll be making it this weekend, nice.

I live in New Orleans, and no one's gumbo looks clear.

Hey Mikey, try to get to Bern's Steakhouse in Tampa, Florida. Enjoy the great food and don't skip the kitchen and wine cellar tours!

The way Mikey described the fried chicken, you could tell he’s found his favorite fried chicken in NO

The shrimp henican is so good. That pepper jelly is so divine!

Mmmmm; there are some 😋 tasty delicious 👀 looking foods being shown and talked about by the listed as advertiser Mike Chen,✌ peace & respect to him and the restaurant owners, cookers and server's.

Cajun food is one of my favorite 🤤 so rich and flavorful

Dang I wish I would have known u were in Metairie lol. Would have loved to let ya. Good to see you enjoyed the food Mike

that bone marrow is still raw man

It's wild for Mikey to go to places I've been going to for years! 🤯

Our southern food is so amazing!!! We know how to put the best flavors TOGETHER!!!!!!!

bruh The ninja turtle joke💀🤣

As an Asian who grew up in Louisiana and went to LSU, watching Mike eating subpar looking Cajun food and completely butcher the word "etouffee" hurt real deep

Happy birthday to the people behind you at the Creole restaurant 🎉

Colonel sanders was sitting behind you😊

14:44 Mikey filmed and found Col. Sanders 😂

These kinds of discoveries like this Cajun buffet are so bittersweet...Because you just know that after this video, that most likely the prices are going to go up (nothing inherently wrong with that, just sucks in general) and it's always going to be super busy. it's just that a lot of these smaller businesses usually struggle to keep up the amazing quality and consistency, when they get suddenly get a ton of customers because of a viral video or being featured somewhere. It can really be a make it or break it moment for the restaurant and it's always depressing to hear that it ended up being the latter. It's quite a double-edge sword, because it's great to shout-out small local businesses and get them the recognition they deserve, but at the same time you never know it if it'll ever be the same...for better or worse. Still with all that said, I love the video and love that Mikey shouts-out small out of the way places like this so people like myself can someday try them out! I'm absolutely am drooling over that Cajun buffet! Home cooked southern-style heartwarming food like that is probably my favorite type of foods period but unfortunately it's so hard to find a place that does it right. So that REALLY makes me want to try this place out one day! If that place was nearby, I'd probably end up eating there more than I eat at home! Especially if it's $12 on weekdays, that's steal no two ways about it! Especially considering the quality and variety of the food. I mean, most chain buffets cost twice that, and while they may have a bigger variety of foods, they don't come anywhere near that quality!

Yeeeeeting wagyooooo

Commander’s Palace spot on everytime.

Is nobody going to mention Colonel Sanders just casually chilling in the background at Commander’s Palace? He sits down at about 13:47

That first place 🤣💀 wasn't it.....but yes I might need to go to the Commander's Palace 🎉

i love shicken too

That food looked really SAD

The way pricing is today, $12 is awesome!!

Never heard of eggplant dressing, now I’m intrigued.

Commanders Palace, best restaurant in the US. Love that restaurant. Best of the Brendan’s restaurants in NOLA. Upstairs room with the giant tree, great place!

Damn Mikey you clean up good that’s Shirt ur wearing !

We eat like this all the time down here😂

14:33 is that the colonel 😳

With an empty stomach, and when I'm in the mood, I could eat thirty pieces of that sublime fried chicken. I wouldn't though, because these owner-operated local joints need to be respected, not bankrupted, at a time when normal people need these sane prices more than ever. What a jewel!

That's good, Mikey Chen. You awarded Louisiana best chicken and fish!

The first eatery was just real hearty cooking..i prefer that

Mikey I hope you know how many people's dreams you are living lol

The shade thrown at Wicked Spoon 😂 7:56

Hey Chen food man

13:48 Colonel Sanders at the back !!

Love the channel

Gumbo is not clear, must be confusing it with the asian soups on his journeys

Hi Mikey!!! Welcome to New Orleans!!! Hope you enjoy your time and our food during your visit!!! Commander's Palace is ❤❤❤!!!

What kind of gumbo was that ? It just looked like some kind of sad soup 🍜

Been to NOLA 3 times and would never consider going to a buffet when there are so many other good spots. Willie Mae's is always at the top of my list. Best fried chicken in America and no that's not hyperbole.

when are you coming to OKC? Helluva Vietnamese district and overall a better food scene than people think

Yummy that chicken though

Buffet looked awesome. Other. I'm good

Mike, next time your in south Florida, you NEED to try Le Colonial in Delray Beach, it’s an upscale Vietnamese restaurant with a French fusion

It cracks me up every time he says amush booje

Bruh. Im so hungry now

That gumbo looked quite sad it's usually a deep red color that was so pale in color

Thought I seen colonel sanders at 13:54

You came to London near my home

I have no reference for this in person but I thought gumbo was supposed to be dark roux and thinner. Like coats a spoon but not gravy consistency? (I've never had it in Hawai'i but made a few times from Issac Toupe's recipes and hoped it was correct because it wasn't like anything I had ever tasted, but pretty great.)

He looks so nice in a dress shirt

6:48 hahaha😂

Eh-too-fay. Or as my mom would say, same same 😂

Did anyone else notice colonel sanders in the background!

Should have tried Houmas House.

That fried chicken is making me want some fried chicken right now at nearly 10 PM this night! Good fried chicken is a thing of beauty. I'll have to check out Louisiana Purchase Kitchen if ever I go to NOLA in my lifetime.

Ag1 made in NZ 😊

Bone Marrow doesn't look cooked all the way! 😮

Looking smart! I wish I could eat seafood, looks delish! Hope Mrs C is well. Xx

Glad to see Colonel Sanders still healthy in the background 😅

I'm glad to see some drips on your shirt at Commander's Palace....

shout out Colonel Sanders behind you 😂

I almost didn't recognise Mikey in a shirt! Looking snazzy dude!!!

Wow that's awesome thanks for sharing Pete cape town south Africa don't have any buffets here but other amazing food do join me for a BBQ but we call it a braai

Like 640 👍 Greetings from Naples, Florida. Everything looks so delicious. I lived in Louisiana many years ago (in Alexandria), and love, love Cajun/Creole food. Thanks so much for sharing, have a great week. 💯

Is that bone marrow raw or that's just how it is supposed to be cooked?

I've always wanted to go the Commander's Palace. But this will be the closest I can get. I did do the Palace Cafe, which I heard is their budget restsuraunt thats more casual.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

It is very nice. Yes, you must go at least once. Expensive 😊

Did anyone notice colonel Sandrers in the back of him!!!

That was some REALLY dry looking Mac n cheese. I no nothing of Cajun food tho, just looked really dry. That fried chicken and roasted chicken looked TASTY tho!

I needed a bucket to catch the drool 🤤 YUMMMMMMMM

Colonel Sanders at 14:06

You not sayin that right

I think louisiana purchase got its name cause the louisiana purchase was quite the steal. a 12 dollar buffet for a adult is great.

Dress shirt 🎉🎉😂
