GJC was the only competent Cajun joint in Manhattan, if not New York.<br /><br />People we're drawn to GJC for its ambiance. It was basically a cinder block with string lights. People went because it had a unique (for New York) menu, they made their food well, and had good service. Change that out and make it just another "Modern American" restaurant, and you just have a cinder block serving the same food as anyone else. If that's the case, then what's the draw here? I don't see the point.

Thanks Dad. Besides that you're wrong considering Great Jones Cafe served Cajun food for over three decades.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-31189142920043020862018-10-04T12:19:30.968-04:002018-10-04T12:19:30.968-04:00All these food group can talk about their goals an...All these food group can talk about their goals and quality food but in the end it's like a McDonalds. - it's manufactured food. Great restaurants are one-offs run by an it's chef. And the food varies by the day because It's not plotted and planned like the invasion of Iraq... including the "Mission Accomplished" banner.
