Like you YAT, I would not knw how to respond to this request. I know foods that are probably Creole and families who claim that lineage, but I have no desire to fight with anyone as to what their definition of Creole refers to.
Many families in Louisiana had Creole roots. Doesn't mean they would meet is belief in what Creole means and if a style of cooking is Creole, French, Spanish, African, or some combination of those.

Popeyes started as a creole joint. It's what I consider authentic creole.

There are some good Creole restaurants in Lafayette. Laura’s II for sure.
I always thought Creole were descendants of African heritage who combined African with Cajun/ southern food. Basically, black Cajuns.

Louisiana Creoles are people of French and Spanish descent born in Louisiana or born in West Indies and came to Louisiana.
Creole cooking is a blend of French and Spanish cooking methods/dishes utilizing local, available ingredients in the French and Spanish colonies, mainly Louisiana and West Indies.

There are a lot like you. I find it odd.

Literally everyone whose family was here before LA became part of the US besides the Cajuns and some Scot-Irish people up North is considered Creole in the true since of the word
St. Landry, Iberia, Avoyelles, and Pointe Coupee are full of people whose ancestors came straight from France or Spain but now they are considered Cajun and the Black or mixed people in these areas are considered Creole

Best Creole food I have ever had, and I can't believe I am saying this as a LA person, was in Aruba.
I consider Creole to be a confluence of cultures cooking with some definite African influence. Turns out Aruba is directly West of Africa and was a major hub to split up slaves for delivery to S.America, Central America and N. America back then. Remember that ships tended to sail East-West and North-South for easy navigation so it's location made it a natural hub.
The food in Aruba is excellent and you can see African, Spanish, English, French and South American influences in the dishes. To me that's Creole.

I don’t think that’s anywhere near accurate, I think in the NO area certainly so, but not nearly so much north of the lake and east of the MS River.

Go read what the word "Creole" means.

Here is a link to the definition
There are thousands of people that live in Acadiana whose ancestors came from France and/or Spain. Natchitoches has bunch of Creoles up there also

Not “but not nearly so much north of the lake and east of the MS River”

I thought creole just means someone was born in a place and did not immigrate there, so if you're family is from Louisiana and you were also born there, then that makes you a Louisiana Creole by definition.

Maybe North of the Lake because that was owned and settled more by the British but all of New Orleans area has bunch of creole, Plaquemines parish was a bunch of Spaniards from the Canary Islands
All down the river south of BR is a mix of Cajun, Creole, German ancestry with the Italians that came later. Then you get to Houma area and their is some Creole ancestry down there also
