so the bayou areas (mostly) cook cajun food and NOLA is italian/creole... what would the cooking style be in baton rouge? i'm not necessarily talking just restaurants, but how people cook in their homes as well.

Baton Rouge is an amalgamation, a crossroads where the cultures of Cajuns, Creoles, the Delta, immigrants, and rednecks came together.

As such, the Baton Rouge culinary scene often seems to lack an independent identity.

In the home, Baton Rouge families seem to cook a lot of simple country fair combined with Cajun and Italian comfort food.

It's Cajun/Creole cooking. You can find cajun/creole influence on a vast majority of the local menus. Same goes for home cooking.

I had the pleasure of eating at the now defunct Ronnie's Ribs who only had a few customers during lunch with some of the best food in the city. Outside their window was a Burger King with cars wrapped completely around the building. That pretty much sums it up.

Really do not understand this question.

Because you live in a certain city this establishes your culinary style of home cooking ?

Wouldn't a persons background establish this much more.

I had many kin folk in New Orleans growing up, they rarely cooked at home. They ate out more than anyone I know. And their cooking pretty much sucked (except my aunt)
My kin folk in St. Landry and Pointe Coupe were the best cooks I know.

But yet New Orleans has more of a culinary style when it comes to home cooking..

You think all those Vietnamese in New Orleans do Italian or Creole ?

what exactly would be the culinary style of Lake Charles , or Biloxi ?

I really do not understand this question.

While you might be right, there is a lot that goes into a restaurant failing.

I perceived it as less of a what do you cook at home question, and more of an if you were to visit Baton Rouge, what would you expect. If I'm headed to New Orleans, I'm getting seafood. San Francisco would be an awesome Cioppino with sourdough bread. Texas would be Tex Mex. Memphis for BBQ. Milwaukee for German. I'm not sure that Baton Rouge has any identity like this.

Because we're discussing the identity of a particular city. I've eaten beef in New Orleans.
