Laffayette is better than North LA and Baton Rouge though.
You mean "Lafayette".. It's ok. It's difficult when you don't really know what you're talking about.

If you honestly think Baton Rouge is a "good food" city in any respect I feel bad for you. It pales in comparison to Lafayette and doesn't even deserve comparison to New Orleans. There are places I enjoy here, but the vast majority of the meals I've had are incredibly mediocre at best, and receive plaudits based almost exclusively on the place's reputation as a neighborhood favorite that your parents went to rather than a purveyor of decent food. Also, it's inexcusable that seafood is so bad in the state's capital.

So you think Lafayette has more "what" exactly than Baton Rouge? You're not answering the question.
eta: And don't get me wrong.. I love Lafayette.. I'm from the area, have family there and go there alot. I just believe that Baton Rouge has amazing local Creole and Cajun cooks, has more diverse offerings.. and a greater number of different types of food.
I've read the argument many times here, that the best food in Lafayette is served in the homes. So by that standard, many Baton Rouge residents prepare outstanding Cajun food and prepare Creole style dishes as well, which Lafayette does not. With the exception of the Lebanese influence, it's pretty much limited to Cajun. But I do want to hear a valid opinion.

What makes Lafayette food better? I've lived in both towns. Besides a bunch of fried seafood platters, I don't see Lafayette overtaking Baton Rouge in any area except Boudin.
where do I begin.

Bootyswamper, that's bs. Where have you eaten besides Taco Bell and McDonald's and what did you order?

Probably has a better food scene than BR. Outside of the food trucks.

Lafayette also kills BR at: boudin, cracklin, bbq, meat markets, and homecooking

You're still missing several very good spots.
Posted on 5/1/12 at 8:53 pm to OTIS2
which are?
Posted on 5/1/12 at 9:16 pm to bootyswamper
Sage and Cotton for upscale, Cascio's close to ULM for affordable Italian,Catfish Cabin for excellent fried fish, Mohawk for a great old school seafood joint,and Genusa's are several good places. The restaurants you named each do certain things well...much of their work is better than OK.

i'm sorry but i'm from south louisiana and there's no seafood that can compete with the seafood from back home(middendorf's, deanie's seafood, and hymels). the last time i ate at cascio's was about three years ago and while waiting for our food i saw two roaches crawling on the table next to us. needless to say that was the last time i have eaten there. sage and cottons have the same menu because the guy that was the head chef at one now owns the other. a little pricey for what they offer but to each his own. if you can think of any other places i would like to know. always looking for a new place to try.

Im from laffy and the best food there is at home or just boudin or crawfish joints, but when it comes to restaurants it is sorely lacking. Not that BR is a food Mecca but it is better only because it is larger and it is benefitting from the Nola migration. NLA isn't even in the convo.
