We're from Louisiana and one thing we Louisianans know is what great Cajun food tastes like (I'll give you a hint....it's not heavily spicy or heat hot with cayenne pepper). We've traveled all over Georgia tasting dishes and saying, "No that's not quite it." And then we found the Bourbon Street Grill in downtown Dahlonega.
Tonight we were there for about or 4th our 5th time (we've lost count.) We've had brunch, lunch, and dinner there several times. Tonight we ordered the yummy crab cakes covered with juicy tomato slices and a creamy, understated white sauce atop soft, fluffy 'dirty rice.' The vegetables were fresh and tender, and the food beautifully presented.
While we loved the crab cakes, our appetizer, a Frenchetta, was, as they day, "to die for". Served on large pieces of garlic toast were slices of prosciutto and salami with a muffaletta olive mixture and warm melted mozzarella cheese, with a drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette. If I had let him, Lamar would have licked the plate.
You've got to try it! (And be sure to ask to sit on the outside porch.) Definitely Bourbon Street Grille gets a D&B Thumbs Up.
