re: Which place in Louisiana makes the best Andouille

More like Gonzales than Prarieville. LaPlace is 25 miles from New Orleans. Yea people in Gross Tete may drive to BR to get things they need but at 19 miles away its hardly affiliated with BR. Since when did NO Metro extent past Kenner?

Provide a link of someone saying it was the best in BR. 
BTW Houmas House from Central BR is 23 miles. Most people eating there dont live in North BR where google maps uses as BR's center. LaPLace is a full 24 miles to the start of New Orleans city limits and close to 30 miles to downtown.

Can anyone say with certainty that Jacob is from laplace? I'd guess he lives in garyville or reserve. That is definitely not under nola's wing.

Why do I even try arguing with you. Just go look at any metro assessment of nola.
There are areas 50 miles from Houston center and is certainly Houston metro. Every city is different. Due to the bodies of water surrounding nola mileage can seem inflated.
Laplace was part of some German settlements that departed nola. It is very historically and currently with nola.

Well your census also adds Washington Parish because we all know how much Bogalusa is NOLA.. 
In other news.. St Francisville is North NORTH baton rouge and Opelousas is in no way associated with Lafayette because the metro area of laffy only includes 2 parishes. what a genius way of talking about food influences...

Go look up the history part.
Laplace is in nola metro. There is no argument.

I disagree. I think it's very much a part of greater NO area. Most of the people, if they didn't work at Godchaux's Sugar or the plant worked in NOLA, and the people are much more aligned with New Orleans by nature than just all to themselves. My grandfather, prior to opening his store, worked in NOLA in the jewelry business. The family shopped in NOLA, and ate out there. The shops that littered Canal street were as much a part of their vernacular as was anything else they knew. As I previously said, my grandfather was in the city mutliple times during the week buying product for his store. Both of my uncles went to high school in the city, and hell, growing up it was me from BR and LSU against them from Reserve and Tulane. My grandmother and I would bet on who was going to win the game, and the old wheelbarrow pushing thing was something of legend there.

How the hell is Laplace considered new Orleans? Erroneous on all counts. Kenner is the furthest I'll count.
Posted on 2/22/11 at 10:33 pm to The Cable Guy
Because TA uses the metro map to claim ONLY the areas that further his pro NOLA cause thats why.. Does he claim Bogalusa as well? Cause we all know Washington parish and N Tammany resemble NOLA much more in culture and food than Mississippi. 
Posted on 2/22/11 at 10:34 pm to Catman88
I would consider LaPlace to be a part of NO metro. A large number of people commute to and from the city daily for school and work and generally spend a lot of time in NO proper, and have for quite a while. And as previously mentioned, St. John is considered as part of NO metro for census data.
However, I don't think this in any way makes andouille something that NO can hang it's hat on. That's a River Parish thing. I've had Cochon's, and it's good, but it doesn't have the unique flavor of Jacob's or other LaPlace smokehouses.

And that's the basis for your opinion.Absorb this:
I grew up in Carthage,Ms. It's about 45 miles from Jackson. A large number of the Carthage population had industrial jobs in Jackson. We would travel to Jackson to eat at restaurants, something our small town didn't have...the same could be said for shopping and other entertainment...we went to Jackson. But to equate these simple logistical relationships to an adoption by Jackson of Carthage or that small town's absorbtion into the city is a silly. Two distintly separate populations tied together by proximity to each other and resources that were meant to be shared...nothing more. Carthage as metro Jackson...laughable. New Orleans claiming Laplace...ditto.I'd love to see the Uptown crowd told they have to live in Laplace...but can make a trip or two into town for an hour or so a couple of times a week.

And I would agree with you.
I just like how someone breaks out a map and claims its food. I guess when you fish in Venice you never left NOLA. lol
Its def a river parish thing. Ahh but Im sure in some way that just code for NOLA's great creole food.
How do we know its not NOLA inspired? Because they didnt make it suck by putting tomato in it.

I agree with most everything you said. Hell, my grandfather could tell you more about the city than most NO proper natives that I know, and he was from Reserve.

I don't know of anyone that lives here that would not include laplace in the metro area. I'm shocked I am even arguing this. I knew several kids who commuted from there to Jesuit.
The morning commute in is a nightmare bc everyone is commuting from there into the city which equates to a metro area.

Well, you did grow up in Carthage MS, so I'll cut you some slack.
But seriously, don't let that interstate crossing over that body of water trick you. Airline Hwy from Laplace to New Orleans isn't very far, I believe only some 20-25 miles from the city itself. That's about the same distance as Walker is to Baton Rouge, and everyone pretty much consideres Walker a part of the Greater BR Metro area, do they not?
Posted on 2/22/11 at 10:56 pm to Woody
That's fine. That's a matter of opinion. Laplace as part of the nola metro area is not.
Go try crescent pie. As good as Jacobs. Homemade in mid city. Maybe the best casual place in nola.
