Cajun Connection closed in 2023, but the loss of the nearly 30-year-old restaurant was softened with plans for a food truck.

The food truck, Catch-A-Cajun, opened in 2024, but did not return for the 2025 food truck season. A reason was not given with the May announcement, but a post in March notified customers that all activities were on hold due to health issues.

Since closing their brick-and-mortar establishment in Utica, owners Ron and Amy McFarlain also sold their favorite menu items at a couple of pop-up events, such as their pecan pies at Handy Foods in Ottawa.
