On topic, I don't really know of a singular "creole" chef in New Orleans to point to anymore.
As in there isn't a creole chef or there are so many you couldn't pick one out as the best?

Because of the magnitude of the creole restaurants in N.O. that have outlived any one chef.

Never met anyone from Mobile who wasn't a colossal douche. Never met Josh, but he fits the bill.

Right?
So now that's out of the way, and now that y'all have gotten over the shock of the mention of creole food being "in other cities", are any of you locals going to help the guy with his documentary?
My suggestions are Belton or Brightsen. But what would I know..

He's still yet to clarify if that's what he means by "Creole Cuisine."

He/she is asking this on a southeast La message board
I suspect this person wants suggestions from the birth of creole cuisine in New Orleans as opposed to a creole from the Caribbean island.
But let’s wait and see.

The food along the I10 corridor from the West side of the state to the east can taste different. EX. the Gumbo cooked by Memere in Lake Charles will differ from Memere's in Lafayette and so on the further east you travel. this is just BehindU opinion! lol there are some amazing cooks and chefs on this board that could probably be more eloquent on the description
Two good friends in grad school, one third generation Cajun from mamou and the other more 2 generation Lafayette transplant and both could cook up some stuff, and different, and often not what I would have expected as Cajun cuisine. A lot of sauce picante variations.

Since this board fights over this on a regular basis, isn’t that part of what a documentary would delve into?
You people asking for a definition are just being OT-ish. Why not just provide recommendations based on what you think creole is?

Umm, how are we supposed to know. That’s why Y.A. asked. It can be a contentious (sometimes) term, and as you point out, people can use it differently, even within Louisiana. That also is what makes MobileJosh’s obnoxious posts in this thread, well, obnoxious, but that’s par for the course.

Hit up Henrys (acworth) or Gumbeauxs (douglasville). Henry is a character and would be great on a documentary.

Famous Foods in Lake Charles is owned and operated by the Darby Family. Amazing Family! its a BBQ joint but unlike any BBQ establishment you have every been to. The soft and spicy cracklins are IMO the best! I would bet you could find Creole influence from New Orleans to Houston.
That’s where Jesse Vidrine took Chef JP. Those cracklins look legit, I’ve been wanting to go there since that episode of Duck Camp Dinners.

wiki
Good post. The wiki page is a nice read that tells us that Creole cooking is more than just about who traditionally puts tomatoes in what dish.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Emeril Lagasse. He was credited many years ago for "bringing Creole food Uptown".

I know they own the restaurant group but they’re from Jordan.

Most of you have opinions on what Creole food is. You don’t have to know his definition to be able to offer yours.

But again, we don’t know what the OP is looking for. I could offer him my opinion, and could find out that he’s someone who thinks that creole means solely, let’s say, something having to do with people of African descent, in which case, why bother.
This whole discussion is all academic and a little tongue in cheek anyway. I think you’re taking it a little too seriously. You and MobileJosh came in hot in this thread.

My take is that “Creole” means different things, depending on time period, locale, etc. Creole food in New Orleans I think of as a more elegant, labor intensive style of cooking with all of the French, Spanish, and African influences of the past. In Cajun country, Creole cooking is more similar to soul food with Cajun/south Louisiana influences.
