Louisiana Purchase, a Cajun and Creole restaurant in North Edmonton, quietly closed its doors.
It first opened in 1989 and was known for dishes such as Louisiana Jambalaya, Gumbo and Catfish tacos.
The restaurant also had a rock n’ roll connection, as The Rolling Stones are rumoured to have ordered a dish made up of Louisiana Jambalaya, Creole shrimp, red beans and sausage when they performed in Edmonton in 1994. The dish was then renamed the “Satisfaction Plate.”
