There is a huge difference, although they can exist together, between a food city and a restaurant city. For instance, I think of New York as a restaurant city, a place where restaurants thrive. Lafayette to me is more of a food city, a place where the populace is obsessed with food but much more so in cooking and eating.

I don't think Ruffino's is moving into a class of dining that is grossly underserved in Lafayette.
I think the food culture there leads to a better restaurant scene.
Baton Rouge's restaurant scene is, pound-for-pound, the weakest on the I-10 stretch.
I like Baton Rouge, but sitting between New Orleans and Lafayette, man, it's culinary black hole in comparison.
