Kelly's Cajun Grill has opened in the Dining Terrace food court at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda. The fast-casual chain was founded in 1991, and is best known as the Home of the Famous Bourbon Chicken. Other popular dishes on the menu includes Lemon Chicken, Steak and Shrimp, and Shrimp Etouffee. The chain says that its streamlined menu allows for very fresh ingredients, and an efficient kitchen operation.
Westfield has a wonderful description of the new food court tenant. "The menu at Kelly’s Cajun Grill is based on a very old concept of cooking that originated in southern France. This distinct cooking style made its way from France to Nova Scotia, eventually settling in Louisiana. As the menu traveled further south to the state of Louisiana, flavors were enhanced and spices were added, making it a more local cooking style for Cajun people. For many years it remained a specialty of the Louisiana Bayou country -- until the rest of the world discovered it." I gar-on-tee!!

I just had a sample of their bourbon chicken. It tastes just like the chicken at the Thai place on the other side of the food court to me.
It's an abomination that Thai food is so 'watered down' to our banal American tastes. Gimme "Thai Hot!"
