Lagniappe: Meet Alphonse!

A little something extra from RealCajunRecipes.com

Our beloved mascot since 2002

Lagniappe (pronounced LAN-yap) is a Cajun French word meaning "a little something extra"—like the 13th crawfish in your dozen. This page is our lagniappe to you!

Every great Cajun establishment needs a mascot, and ours is Alphonse—a proud Louisiana native who's been welcoming visitors since 2002. Like any self-respecting Cajun, Alphonse knows how to dress for every occasion.
