WICHITA — Da Cajun Shak founder Tim Granger is once again opening his own place.
Granger opened his first Cajun Shak in July 2005 at 31st and Oliver.
Boeing employees were his top customers, so he says when the Machinists went on strike, it killed his business. He closed in December of that year and decided to help his parents, who were opening their own Cajun Shak near 21st and Woodlawn.
“I’ve been also waiting for Da Cajun Shak name to be out there,” Granger says. He thinks it’s well established now.
“It’s time.”
So Granger is opening Da ’Lil Cajun Shak in the former Taco Nacho space at 1227 S. Seneca, which is between Lincoln and Harry.
The restaurant will be take-out only (316-558-5693).
Granger says he’s keeping his fingers crossed that he can open Wednesday.
Da ’Lil Cajun Shak will sell fried catfish, frog legs, shrimp, gator, crawfish tails, chicken tenders and pork fritter sandwiches along with sides.
Granger says there won’t be some Cajun dishes such as gumbo and red beans and sausage, though.
“I just don’t have enough room to put all that stuff.”
