Baton Rouge has good variety of restaurants and a wide range of price points. I think being a college town, helps the market expand.

It's crowded at times. We never go there. Anyway, as bad as Ellic is for food we made this list twice.

The bagel and fried egg look great but I don't know what else people eat in Alexandria that puts them on the culinary map.
I recently attended a really nice engagement party in Alex and the food was from "The Spoon" a caterer in Alex. They served shrimp and grits. I thought it was soup.

I don't think Alexandria is on any culinary map other than the link above. But to answer your question, we eat all sorts of food. There are lots of good places, just not as many as there could be if we weren't a hub in the center of sparsely populated Parishes making up ripe for chains. That has really hurt the scene.

Never heard of them, but I doubt having a bad result from a caterer is a uniquely Ellic problem. The Roux Spoon appears to be loved by Facebook users.

I worked for a caterer in college, so I know orders can get messed up, but to serve something and stand by it, is a totally different issue.

To me, it seems like Alexandria is stuck in a culinary identity crisis. There's very little authentic Cajun influence for example, which is unusual given the proximity to Lafayette, and I don't find a whole lot of restaurant options.
There is however, Inglewood Farms, and no farmer's market in the state can compare.

For good reason. The line ending Acadiana is a pretty sharp one. We are not in the triangle.
