Cajun Cookin'

Vendor Biography

Ms. Brown, the spirited chef behind “Bayou Spice,” brings the fiery flavors of Cajun cuisine to the heart of Phoenix, Arizona. Born and bred in the sweltering bayous of Louisiana, Ms. Brown’s culinary journey started in her grandmother’s kitchen, where she learned the art of blending Cajun spices and the importance of soulful cooking. With a flair for bold flavors and a dedication to authenticity, Ms. Brown ventured westward to share her love for gumbo, jambalaya, and crawfish etouffee with a new audience. At Bayou Spice, each dish tells a story: from the smoky andouille sausage in her gumbo to the perfectly seasoned blackened catfish that transports diners straight to the heart of New Orleans. Beyond her kitchen prowess, Ms. Brown is a pillar of her community, supporting local farmers and advocating for sustainable seafood practices. With a warm smile and a zest for life as vibrant as her Cajun spices, Ms. Brown invites Phoenicians to experience a taste of Louisiana at Bayou Spice, where every bite is a journey down the bayou.
