  • Part #2 Chef Staz of Shuck n Dive is "Who's at The Chef's Table with Chef Dan", hosted by Chef Dan & Doris WithaD
    Nov 27 2025

    Shuck N Dive Fort Lauderdale | A Taste of Authentic NOLA in SoFlo

    In this special 2-part edition of "Who's at the Chef's Table with Chef Dan," Chef Dan and Doris WithaD ditch the chic Florida coast vibe for the spicy, soulful streets of New Orleans, right here in Fort Lauderdale! We're diving headfirst into the celebrated Shuck N Dive Cajun Cafe, a local institution that has been serving up authentic, award-winning Cajun and Creole favorites for years.

    Shuck N Dive is more than just a restaurant; it's a casual, comfortable oasis with a truly authentic New Orleans vibe, from the LSU and Saints memorabilia to the classic Zydeco music.

    We sit down with Chef Staz to explore why this place is South Florida’s one and only spot for a true Louisiana-style feast, and what dishes we're most excited to finally get on our chef's table!

    Menu Buzz & Cajun Classics We're Anticipating

    You'll see us get into the dishes that locals rave about and that are guaranteed to transport you straight to the French Quarter:

    • The 3-Way Oysters: This is a platter of baked oyster perfection, featuring the Black n' Blues, Oysters Rockefeller, and Oysters Bienville. We've heard the Black n' Blues are an "unforgettable, briny delight."

    • Blackened Gator Tenderloin: A true Cajun experience! Chef Dan notes this appetizer is reputed to be "tender, perfectly seasoned, and the only way to eat gator in Florida."

    • Crawfish Macaroni and Cheese: The buzz describes this side as "creamy, soulful, and packing a perfect spicy kick," a dish that is inspired by a New Orleans Jazz Fest classic and is not to be missed.

    • The Seafood Gumbo: We'll have you eager to try this rich, dark, and intense bowl—made with a proper heavy roux that’s full of shrimp and sausage, promising a bowl of pure bayou flavor.

    From their raw Louisiana oysters and seasonal crawfish boils to their overstuffed Po' Boys and signature cocktails (like the famous Hurricane!), Shuck N Dive promises a dining experience that’s all about good times, great food, and lagniappe!

    Watch now to find out why this cozy, no-frills joint is the ONLY place in South Florida for a true taste of New Orleans!
