re: Louisianians who moved away, do you find the food to be as good?

South La does creole and Cajun well, north La does soul food well. Overall that’s it although there are some underrated authentic Mexican food places around and more are popping up. We don’t have many different type of food options but the limited variety we have we do well. When I mean variety’s I’m speaking of what we in La do well.

You like other place's Greek and Lebanese? Compared to Arzi, serops and albasha?
Simple plate lunch Pilaf, cut schwarma, humus, and a greek salad.... should be as standard as cheeseburger and fries.
So far, chicken seems boiled with curry(liquid/rubbery) like it wasn't cooked on the rotisserie, and the gyro meat has been bland as frick and oily. Little to no charing/crispiness at at least 10 places I've tried in the last few years.
I get, "oh Ethiopian food is great outside of Louisiana" being that I don't think we have one, but im talking about even BBQ seems off. Dry, funny tastes (like "oooo, let's try cardamom to the recipe to 'elevate' the taste profile" garbage)
Just not feeling the joy, have to only goto places where I don't have some sort of benchmark to compare, because there really hasn't been a comparison.
