Please, I’m begging you to bring your mom and pop restaurants to the Northshore area. We’re starving for good food over here and no one does it better.

I have had some good meals in Mandeville. You are selling yourself short.

TONS of great food on Northshore, TONS!!!

and I’m from New Orleans and now
living on NS.

but i will admit. it is confusing to
know which ones are great and which ones not so great. but there are PLENTY of QUALITY PLACES.

you need to explore more

Now that part is true. Dusted crawfish is not something I’m a fan of, but Lafayette knows how to do plate lunches

Strip malls are in Lake Charles, Lafayette, Baton Rouge, and New Orleans.

It’s really aggravating when people say they come to New Orleans for the food. If people only knew to go 150 miles west and the food between Lafayette and Lake Charles would blow New Orleans out the water.

This simple comment just made me say "oof" out loud to myself and my mouth watered.

New Orleans jumped on the Cajun band wagon when they hosted the World’s Fair, and everyone outside of Louisiana mistakenly assumes that’s the place to go to for Cajun cuisine
