Meh I see more hate towards NOLA than anything on this site. It's like a little man complex around here.

His statement was objectively ridiculous, and that's not meant to bad mouth the cuisine of Baton Rouge.
As for the culinary identity of Baton Rouge, I thought that kingbob guy did a good job.

I'd also have to assume that's a pretty accurate statement considering the amount of local places in the area that have at least a portion of their menu dedicated to cajun/creole specific dishes or using cajun flavors in their cooking.
I'm not sure that Baton Rouge has any identity like this.

I think outsiders see the entire state of Louisiana has having cajun food.

It was an honest question. I live 90 minutes away yet I don't know jack about BR.
And I'm not from New Orleans nor do I claim New Orleans.

I think that is true.
You think NOLA gets bashed on? I perceive it as a food destination, so I don't see why it would get picked on.

Because we're discussing the identity of a particular city. I've eaten beef in New Orleans.
why would the identity be so VASTLY different less than 100 miles away?
does BR have the "scene" NOLA does, absolutely not.. but does BR have the same influences, ingredients, etc etc? absolutely
i just find it funny that people try to drive this massive stake between 2 cities less than 100 miles way when the influences come from the same place and way of thinking/culture

New Orleans has a place in my heart much more than BR (and I live in BR), so I'd like to think I don't have some kind of bias in favor of BR.. but I don't really notice that New Orleans is bashed on regularly on here

New Orleans has a much more creole emphasis than BR. That's not a knock or praise for either city. They have similarities, as well, but they are not the same.

oh i agree they are different. the influences are the same however

I think there are differences between New Orleans and Lafayette when it comes to food. BR, in my opinion, is more heavily influenced by Lafayette.
My gumbo and jambalaya recipes are Cajun-based (family is from Basile). Jones and his friends have mentioned that my dark gumbo or my brown jambalaya is not what they're used to at all.
Not to count the way everyone reacted when we brought Billy's boudin to Thanksgiving. The family had never had such a thing
Not to say there's a MASSIVE disconnect, but they are definitely both quite different from one another.
