Yes it is. Seafood down the Atlantic coast is fantastic as are the crabs and sphrimp and fishes from the Pacific Northwest.

So I work in Gonzales. It's a small town in Louisiana that I'm pretty sure no one outside Louisiana knows. The vast variety of places to eat is amazing. We have:

Sophisticated palates can taste all layers of food
I sophisticated palate tastes the food and not the same sauce that covers everything. The suce masks the deficiencies in the cooking. You want hot sauce on it, fine, but don't reach for the hot sauce before you've even tasted the food.

I cannot fathom the mindset that puts Louisiana as the end all be all for anything much less food.

LA has good food, but it’s not nearly the pinnacle people think it is.
Houston’s food scene is fricking outstanding and on the non-Cajun/creole cuisine it’s whips anything in LA.

The food in France is exceptional.

This prob won’t be a popular opinion on here but Boston has got some great food.
I would argue that Boston and NYC are the only two places I’ve been in the US that had a better food culture than New Orleans.
Now, outside of the US, France had the best food I’ve ever eaten.

If Louisiana food is so good
Newsflash, homie. Louisiana is known around the world for two things: music and food. As in, that’s our worldly reputation.

You can find good food most any where outside of Louisiana, but you have to work harder at finding excellent.
Every small town in south Louisiana has excellent mom/pop restaurants that are affordable. An oyster poboy in south La will use real French bread, fresh oysters and dressing. An oyster poboy else where will use Korean fried/frozen oysters from Cisco and hot dog buns.

Northern food lacks seasoning for sure.

It varied from restaurant to restaurant
In France the bread was just better - the simple things were just a little bit above anything you can get here - produce, cheese, cokes made with real sugar
It’s obvious that Louisiana was once French, though

I wouldn't try Louisiana food outside of Louisiana, but Texas has great BBQ and Tex-Mex, Alaska has a ton of great seafood, Chicago and New York are known for their respective styles of pizza. Japan was pretty awesome. California has great Mexican. Just gotta get out a little bit.
Worst case, Tabasco is everywhere.

Food is definitely disappointing in Colorado. I've grown to love and appreciate indian food more cauae its in every little mountain town and by far the most consistent but growing up in Texas and Louisiana has spoiled me. The Mexican here is dog shite as well. Tex mex over "authentic" all frickin day.

I think the misconception somewhat lies in that the really great food mostly isn't at restaurants. It's in homes and little mom and pop places in the middle of nowhere. Tourist Cajun food kinda sucks.
