My marketing guru and I are always looking for good restaurants to eat to do our part in stimulating the economy.

We both love Cajun food, but outside of New Orleans and Ybor City (Tampa), we've found the quality of the food everywhere else to be lacking. Until a couple of days ago.

The "Night and Day" section of the newspaper had a review of Bud's Louisiana Cafe. We discovered one of Bud's restaurants about 15 years ago, Bayou Bar & Grill, in downtown San Diego, but they literally disappeared one weekend with no notice about where they might have moved or what might have happened.

A couple of years ago, we heard that Bud had opened a Louisiana Cafe over in Little Italy, but we were never able to find it.

Now we find out that Bud has moved ever so closer to us, right over in Tierrasanta. So of course we made a trip over there Thursday night to try them out. We were not disappointed. The restaurant is small but the service was great and the food was what we think of when we think New Orleans and Cajun.

Give 'em a try for some great Cajun and Creole food at extremely reasonable prices. They apparently do a booming take-out business judging from when we were there at 7:00 p.m. 10425 Tierrasanta Boulevard, just east of Interstate 15. 858-573-2837. Vist Bud's web site at budscafe.com. Happy eating!
