On Food Network's Best Thing I Ever Ate, in the 2011 episode "French Favorites," sugar artist and Food Network judge Kerry Vincent named Robin's Restaurant's crawfish etouffee as her favorite dish. Robin's was a Cajun and Creole restaurant at 1409 Henderson Highway in Henderson, Louisiana, part of the Atchafalaya Basin's crawfish country near Breaux Bridge, an area known for its crawfish farms and boil houses that draw visitors year-round. Some business directories list the same address under the neighboring town of Breaux Bridge rather than Henderson. A Yelp listing for the restaurant, updated 2025-10, marks Robin's Restaurant as permanently closed, and Google's Places listing, checked 2026-09-08, likewise shows the business as permanently closed, with no current working website found for the restaurant.
