re: Non native nola residents are the worst nola food critics

You can when it involves a sandwich and basic sandwich ingredients

There aren't a whole lot of dishes or types of food in general which ordinary people are eating that aren't centered around "basic" ingredients.

Native born nola foodies have a reason and inalienable right to talk down to non natives about food

I disagree.

Problem comes when the transplant nola residents try to pretend that they are from nola and start criticizing

I hate the ones that criticize the long running institutions that have made the NOLA food scene what it is today.

First, I was just poking a little fun.
Second, I graduated from LSU, have one child who did also and have another one there now.
Third, if money spent has anything to give one a "say" the $150,000 I've spent there would give me a say.
Fourth, I was just poking a little fun.

Probably. Not sure why this is relevant though. Only thing I said about hate was Pollack. Because he's a douchebag.

They have the biggest chip on their shoulders re New Orleans food It's like they have to make up for being from the sticks or chain city by becoming ultra nola food snobs I'm sure you've met this type before if you've lived in nola for any amount if time -- the kind if person who will say domileses has the best poboy or who says some nasty pizza downtown is the city's best or that casamentos has the best fried seafood even tho they never been to belle chasse leeville or Kenner Why urbanspoon bigger than yelp in nola? Urbanspoon sucks

This is a pretty accurate description of Rohan2Reed.

Because the world is full of people who think NOLA = cajun food. Got to cater to your customer base.

---

So why not serve cajun food? Why they gotta junk it up with tomatoes?

Same goes for fricking up crabcakes by putting spice all up in the cake rather than a proper spicy topping.

That's the part that that irks me the most.

I really don't like that idea either.
I can't stand trying to give restaurant advice when my friends and business associates come to town and the first thing they ask about is jambalaya and fried aligator.

It's not a bad thing I guess and I appreciate anyone who visits new orleans and spends money, it just hard explaining that the top 50 restaurants in the city don't have that "fake cajun" stuff on the menu.
