GUMBO YA YA CARRIES ON CAJUN TRADITION


Joe Vuskovich brought fast-food Cajun to Lexington in 1989 when he opened several Jozo's Bayou Gumbo restaurants around Lexington and Yats Cajun restaurant in South Hill Station. He has moved to Indiana, but he gave his recipes to friend Greg Todd, who opened Gumbo Ya Ya last month.
It's at 1080 South Broadway, next to Buffalo Wild Wings. The menu at Gumbo Ya Ya features red beans, turkey creole, jambalaya, maque choux (Cajun succotash), spinach and mushroom etouffee, and white chili, all of which are served over rice or penne pasta. The only sandwich on the menu is the yatwich, a spicy sloppy Joe made with turkey and served over focaccia bread.
Hours are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Call (859) 252-9292."
