Tomorrows special at Gibsons Discount Center will be something completely new for Kerrville, The Cajun Cowboy's version of "Chicken Sauce Piquant" 5-28-2026, 11-530pm
Not often seen on menus in this area; but where I come from, it's a staple dish in many households, and one of The Cajun Cowboy's favorite meals.
What makes this dish so delicious is the melding of a dark brown roux (like you make for gumbo), and a red tomato sauce; this combination of sauces fried up as a base with finely diced Andouille sausage gives the piquant a deep tangy flavor.
The dish is traditionally served over rice

Tomorrows special for our regular Thursdays at Gibsons Discount Center will be my delicious Fried Fish.
Great tasting fish comes from the wet and dry batter, and The Cajun Cowboy has a homemade taste treat for you. First of all, the wet batter is made from egg, yellow mustard, and Louisiana hot sauce. The dry batter is made up from careful measurements of corn flour, cayenne pepper, black pepper, onion power, garlic power and sea salt. The fish is dredged in the wet batter and then coated in the corn flour, then deep fried in a 350-degree fryer until golden brown.
The special will be $14.00 served with one side dish
