Down here, we don’t archive—we remember out loud. We don’t curate—we cook. And we don’t preserve for the sake of nostalgia—we do it so our elders can taste their childhood again, so our children know what a real washday smells like, and so the bayou keeps whispering long after the last frog jumps. At Big Mamou, I call myself a preservationist. Not the museum kind. The kind with roux-stained aprons and a camera slung over one shoulder. The kind who knows that a good gumbo recipe is a family tree, and that a Conte du perron conté en français cadien/ “A porch tale told in Cajun French.” is worth more than gold.
Dis here's where I talk story, stir up some memories, and pass down a lil' Cajun know-how. From Cajun cooking to folklore, kitchen tricks, and maybe a tale or two 'bout the Loup-garou lurking down the Bayou, I write it like I talk it—real, raw, and full of flavor. So if you wanna know what's cookin' in Cajun cuisine, or just feel like hearin' somethin' good, this blog's for you, with plenty of authentic cajun recipes to share.

“Every product, every service—we agree on every last detail before we get cookin’. Your satisfaction ain’t just important, it’s sacred. If it don’t feel right to you, it don’t sit right with us.”

Big Mamou is a Cajun‑rooted creative house in Lake Charles — cooking, storytelling, and capturing family moments with soul. Everything we offer is made by hand and delivered the old‑fashioned way: in person, with a little lagniappe.
