That gumbo didn't look half bad other than the lack of protein.

Worst Examples Of Louisiana Cuisine You’ve Ever Seen
I don't mind a red jambalaya from time to time, but I had one in Texas that tastes exactly like catsup.
I had a seafood jambalaya in Wisconsin that was absolutely amazing. Asked to meet the chef, walked out back and the guy was from st. Martinville
All depends.
I had a gumbo in southern Alabama that was on par with anything I would make at home. The old lady cooking ground her own filet. She skipped the okra, but she made a chicken fat based roux that was astounding.
Eta: the old lady was some sort of Creole and spoke what seemed to be a combination of Haitian Creole and louisiana patois. I tried to speak for hours.

What in the hell is the slop on that plate?
IMO, most LA staples are hard to master but easy to make passable. LA cuisine usually incorporates the very basics of French cooking so there's very little excuse to miss the mark just because one isn't in LA.
That said, there are plenty good options in LA but I've almost been trained to never order dishes like gumbo in a restaurant because the good to suck ratio is heavily in favor of suck, even in LA. Outside of LA, I won't even attempt it unless I've been someplace before and had a Guinea Pig experiment before me...

Growing up in Louisiana, I’ve learned to basically avoid Louisiana food when I leave the state
So much truth to this and the plenty of folks who say there is good Louisiana food outside Louisiana are full of bull. Tried it in Texas, California Mississippi, Virginia, Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Tennessee and it was all crap and tasteless

That Disney Gumbo tops my list for now.

On the flip side, The Lost Cajun in Breckenridge is pretty good stuff. Was a welcome meal after being away from home for multiple days.
Looks like they have other locations as well.

I'm normally a big Trisha Yearwood fan, but this was her jambalaya recipe in this weeks show.

Worst cook on TFN.
Typically, once you get outside of LA. don't think about it. A lot of times they just add a ton of Tony's type seasoning and call it "Cajun". Several years ago a relative insisted on treating me to the "best Cajun food in Mississippi", we were in Jackson. The etouffe was dark brown, had ground meat and Chinese crawfish. Inedible.

One of the worst I've seen was at a restaurant called the Elephant Bar in Torrance, CA.
To be fair it wasn't a cajun place and they served a variety of food. They had a seafood jambalaya which was essentially just white rice with some onions and bell peppers on top and some catfish on the side. Certainly not anything inedible but nowhere close to being jambalaya.

Most of those look terrible, but I take exception with #8, the etouffee from the place in Arizona.
"And here's another version of our beloved dish, again with the white sauce and way too much rice. This is not what etouffee is!"
bullshite. What's in the pic looks like normal etouffee. Not spectacular, but nothing wrong. And most people I know pour their etouffee over a lot of rice. That's the way I like it.

Err, my mom's etouffee had cream of mushroom in it. Guess I didn't know better.

I ordered a bowl of Gumbo in Houston one day for lunch. When the bowl arrived it had probably 3 to 4 tablespoons of file piled on top of my small bowl. The waitress noticed the strange look on my face and immediately says,"oh you must be from Louisiana, I'm from Baton Rouge I'll get you another bowl minus the mound of file." I don't use 3-4 tablespoons in a whole pot. Funny thing is a couple days later at work one of the guys was talking about how good the Gumbo was from there.

is this a clickbait article?
Seemed pretty straightforward what was going to be in the link and it was all on one page(no slideshow).
