Bennachin (Jambalaya) @ Bennachin
For twenty-five years, the restaurant Bennachin has served the food of central Africa--one of the major ancient homelands of Creole cooking. The restaurant is named for its signature dish--a rice-based plateful that passes for jambalaya. In fact, bennachin is the forerunner of jambalaya. It's different from any other version you've had--but then, isn't that the story of all jambalayas? They'll make it with almost anything you ask to have included, and you can specify the heat level. Tomatoes, onions, and peppers come standard.
