- [Woman] Deep in the bayou, on this street, down this road,

in this windowless tin shack, is a restaurant

run by one woman, whose dishes are so good,

- I'm Alzina Toups and I've been cooking Cajun food

A Cajun restaurant with no staff and no menu.

And it's housed in one of the most unassuming places.

A former welding shop that was once owned by her son.

- I turned this into kitchen because I loved cooking.

And you don't have that big bump in the middle.

- My son was in the process of moving to a bigger place

Cajun food I think is the best food in the world.

You have onion, you have garlic, a lot of garlic,

celery, and then you saute that in a small amount of oil.

And then you start adding your other ingredients.

Whatever you're cooking, if it's a gumbo or jambalaya

or fried shrimp, what's better than that?

can only be made by calling her on her landline phone.

I live a simple life and this is the way I like my life.

- [Woman] Over those 40 years, Alzina's has been

pretty successful garnering the attention of magazines,

People from all over the world have flocked

to Alzina's kitchen for her authentic Cajun food.

So they see where we're at and you don't realize

I feel the peace in the kitchen and then they mingle,

family that haven't seen each other for maybe a year,
