Tibbys New Orleans Kitchen Brandon – Just Good Cajun Food

Brandon offers quite a few dining choices. And though so many of them can be found anywhere else, and you know I am talking about chains, every once in a while something unique and different emerges on the scene leaving me pleasantly surprised. That’s what we found at Tibbys New Orleans Kitchen Brandon. EAT

Bye bye, Chinese buffet and hello Tibbys New Orleans Kitchen Brandon!

It had been a while since I remembered seeing the old Chinese buffet blink out and noticing the Tibbys New Orleans Kitchen Brandon sign going up. Mental note, check it out. I wouldn’t have thought my procrastination took so long but the hostess at Tibbys New Orleans Kitchen told me that they were just a day or so away from celebrating their first year of preparing authentic New Orleans inspired dishes.

The exterior of the restaurant doesn’t shout “Cajun food here” and isn’t much to look at but when we stepped through the front door I was greeted by an eclectic display of eye catching New Orleans themed decor. Tibby’s interior is very pleasing visually and I was hoping that the food would be just as creative.

Tibbys New Orleans Kitchen Brandon – A Beignet Paradise

Beignets are commonly known in New Orleans as a breakfast item served with powdered sugar on top. They are traditionally prepared right before consumption and are meant to be eaten fresh and hot. We ordered these for our whole table to share and they were indescribably wonderful! There are all types of fried dough that can be experienced across cuisines internationally. The origin of the term beignet is specifically French and here in the United States, beignets are a very popular part of the New Orleans Creole cuisine culture. Beignets are customarily served as a dessert or in some sweet variation. They were brought to New Orleans in the 18th century by French colonists, from “the old mother country”, and became a large part of home-style Creole cooking. Beignets were declared the official state doughnut of Louisiana in 1986. If all you do is visit Tibbys New Orleans Kitchen Brandon to try their Beignet’s, you will not leave disappointed in this succulent and spicy New Orleans Kitchen in Brandon.
