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

Overall selection where I live is better and has much more interesting food.

But the downside is that good cajun restaurants are hard to come by. The only thing that surprised me that I found is lacking in most other cities than BR is the Mediterranean food / Lebanese food. BR has some of the best and most authentic that you'll find. I've been to Chicago's greek town area and I've tried this cuisine in many different cities and at many different places in my town and it doesn't hold a candle to what BR has.

All the other ethnic food is pretty much better in bigger cities. Asian and Mexican are world's better in TX.
