Given it's location, it is perhaps the most underachieving food city in America.


Naah, it's not that bad, people just need to stop comparing BR to Chicago, New York, or anywhere else people go on vacation and compare it to similar sized metro areas. If you take this list of MSA's by size and look at the 60th-80th largest metro areas (BR +/- 10 spots), I think BR is really toward the top of that list as a food city. New Orleans for its size is really an outlier in the food arena, but that's nothing for BR to have self-hate over.

Fleur de Lis is overrated. That said, they still have the best pizza in Baton Rouge. There just are't many good pizza restaurants in town, much less in the state

Upvote.

Not a BR native but I've been here since 2009 and the restaurant scene is growing and getting better, IMO.
