Baby Kays Cajun Kitchen 2119 E. Camelback Rd. Phoenix, AZ Phone: 602-955-0011   WELCOME|MENU|CHEF|RECIPES|MAP Yes! There is a real Baby Kay! Her name is Kay Sonnier Romero. Most Cajuns have nicknames. Because her mother's name was Katie, her father always called her Baby Kay. She was raised in New Roads, LA, among great Cajun cooks, overlooking beautiful False River. After her marriage to Dr. Rosie Romero, an LSU medical school graduate, they moved to his hometown, Welsh, in Southwest LA. He practiced general medicine there for 11 1/2 years and still found time for he and Baby Kay to raise 7 children. Their Cajun heritage was a part of everyday life. Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation, Weddings, Funerals....all are celebration for family get-togethers, including abundance of good Cajun food and music. After a residency in Denver, the family moved to Scottsdale, AZ in 1966 where Dr. Rosie opened an Allergy and Immunology Clinic. First impressions proved to be true. No Cajun food - no crawfish - no jambalaya - no etouffee, etc. The Romero clan now counted 8 children - all crying - "Except for your cooking, mama, where's some good Cajun food? The food being served in restaurants then was anything doused in cayenne pepper or blackened and called "Cajun". What an insult! The decision was made, with the help of some children and spouses, to open Baby Kay's in Scottsdale, April 6, 1989. The Town and Country Restaurant in Phoenix opened in 1993. All the family and spouses have supported Mama in different ways. Baby Kay says, "I love meeting the people - locals and visitors alike. They all ask what made you do this? It was fun, introducing good Cajun food to the West - and remember: Cooking is like making love......If you don't like to do it - Don't!" On the other hand..... We want you to enjoy our food, our service, our culture. Your never know, Baby Kay may be the person bussing your table, getting your drink orders or telling a joke. Just remember - Yes! There is a real Baby Kay! WELCOME|MENU|CHEF|RECIPES|MAP © 2004-2007 Feeding Frenzy, Inc™ All Rights Reserved.
