Story & History - Legend of the Lost Cajun®
My name is Raymond Griffin, "The Lost Cajun®", and I’m from Barataria, La. To answer the question, I usually tell people that I got drunk and got lost!
For 15 years we owned and operated a fishing lodge in Louisiana - Griffin Fishing Lodge - then came Katrina, then Rita, then Ike and Gustav and on top of all that, the big oil spill... what a mess! It was hard to leave but we just had enough! The truth is that my late wife Belinda and I had dreamed of living in the Rockies and opening a little gumbo shop for years.
The first little gumbo shop opened in October of 2010 in a tiny building on Main Street in Frisco, Colorado, and today people travel from around the world to experience the down-home atmosphere and the authentic Cajun food that we serve. In 2012, a friend and fishing buddy saw what Belinda and I had started, and we decided to open the second location in Breckenridge, CO. The rest, as people say, is history!
Over the years people have tried and fallen in love with our food, and I am proud to say that we are now franchising nationwide! It’s not just the food people love, it’s our culture of courtesy and respect that we’ve created, along with some of the best service that you have ever experienced.
Our gumbos take 4 to 6 hours to cook, as well as our special dishes such as red beans and rice, crawfish etouffee and lobster bisque. There are no short cuts, and it’s got to be cooked slowly, with a lot of care! Our seafood is like none that you have ever tasted, and the beignets are just like the ones you get in New Orleans - maybe just a wee bit better! Stop in and try some of our free samples and you’ll see what I’m talking about. As we say in Louisiana, “make a pass” and say hello, feel the down-home atmosphere and "pass a good time!".
See y’all soon-Griff
