I mean, yeah. Besides Chinese food, what are the Chinese bringing to the table?!


His post was claiming Louisiana is well ahead of Texas food bc all Texas has is BBQ and Tex Mex. That’s two different cuisines that Texas does very well. I’m asking what Louisiana has that makes it better than Texas other than Creole/cajun.

Creole and Cajun are two different types. Again, stupid question.

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:

Chinese (buffet and takeout)
Japanese (Hibachi and sushi)
Mexican & TexMex
Greek/Lebanese
Seafood
Soul food
Creole/Cajun

Plus you have pizza places, sports bars home style, grocery stores that have lunches that are pretty good, and numerous other places to hit up for food.

I spent a week in Oklahoma for work, it was outside OKC in one of the suburbs. They had Mexican, TexMex, sports bars, or chain restaurants. Everyone recommended the same 4 places. If I wanted any real variety I was going to have to drive a bit. I feel that isn't the case for Louisiana.
