If it's eaten in Louisiana, then it either origionated or was perfected in NOLA.
To answer the question of what other dish has escaped the confines of Louisiana and stayed true to it's origional form: gumbo.
To be honest, I don't care if it's done incorrectly or not, the fact that some places are trying to reproduce Louisiana cuizine is enough for me to say it's pretty influencial.

Do you count the bread pudding at Commander's??
A lot of folks view that as the best dessert on the planet...
Commander's is my favorite restaurant, and I don't even consider it to be the best dessert on their menu.
Also, gotta give Paul Prudhomme credit for the "blackened" craze...

King Cakes are spreading all over, too.

I'll give the Mcillheney's the nod. Game, set match to Acadiana.

Of course, he did get there by way of N.O. I think Avery Island was his inlaws place.

really? i've lived in both NY/NJ and LosAngeles pretty recently and never seen them or even heard anyone mention one. They all know that Mardi Gras is, but never heard mention of a king cake.

That's straight NOLA family right there...but clearely Tabasco is an Acadian thing...
I guarantee if you ask someone in "X" state or "X" country where Tabasco is from...the response will be New Orleans 9 times out of 10. Down here, we know better.
Tabasco>>>Crystal...except for red beans
For the record, gumbo's origins was the combination of what black slaves brought over...okra (which is gumbo in the African language) with Frnech and Spanish ways of cooking...no doubt the original gumbos were made in NOLA kitchens.
Zapp's is one that should be added I think...cajun crawtators are some of the best chips around.

Maryland
Has some good culinary tradition as well. In fact, the entire northeast has some degree of influence of what we eat just based on the age of settlement.
N.O. has been able to successfully document and sustain their food history. The city cannot be touched in this regard.
