I love how non-NOLA folks like to pretend Creoles didn't exist.

Half of the "New Orleans" dishes served in restaurants over there are shitty versions of what you'd find in Acadiana. People paying $14 for a crappy link of boudin as an appetizer, gumbo with tomatoes in it, etoufee, etc.

His statement implies that NOLA is only known for Cajun food.
A decent write up of the 3 common food types associated with SELA
Creole cuisine is a fusion, unique to the New Orleans area, of French, Spanish, West African, and Native American cuisine. It was also influenced by later immigrants from Germany, Italy, and other locations. Like French food, it sometimes makes use of rich sauces and complex preparation techniques. Creole dishes often include onions, bell peppers, celery, tomatoes, and okra.[6][7][8]
The Cajuns are descendants of the Acadians, French-Canadian colonists who were expelled from the Maritimes by the British. Some of the Acadians settled in rural areas of southern Louisiana in the 1760s and 1770s. The Cajuns spoke their own dialect of French. Some intermarried with other peoples, and so modern Cajuns have some non-Acadian ancestry.[9][10][11]
Cajun cuisine is also based partly on French cuisine and also makes use of local ingredients such as onions, bell peppers, and celery. It tends to be hearty, rustic fare, complex in flavor but easier to prepare. Compared to Creole cuisine it uses less fish and more shellfish, pork, and game. Cajun food, while not always spicy, is known for its unique use of many seasonings, including garlic, hot peppers, and filé powder.[6][7][8]
Soul food was created by the African-American descendants of slaves. It is closely related to the cuisine of the Southern United States, but its origins trace back to West Africa. It often features hearty, flavorful dishes made with economical ingredients. Soul food is very popular in New Orleans.[12][13][14]

New Orleans is without a doubt the epicenter of culture in Louisiana.

Not really
Where do NOLA baws get their crawfish? I'll give you a hint
Creole gumbo is awful
Good gumbo in New Orleans comes from guys like Donald Link who are not from the area

Got anything else?

That's great, and I get that you prefer it because you are prob Creole and from NOLA
Saying all culture in LA comes from NOLA is simply false

NIH,
We both know restaurant style gumbo is a whole different animal regardless. Creole gumbo is not awful. You are insane.

Hm, it only took 21 pages of a NOLA thread for it to turn into a food argument.
Surprising.

Acadians did not invent gumbo FYI

I am a Louisiana Creole admittedly. I promise you I could make you a gumbo so good you wouldn't even be able to type a witty retort until you finished eating baw.

It's basically, "everyone in Louisiana wishes they were from New Orleans."

Ok. Was gonna say... Anyone who lives in Louisiana should realize this state is utterly worthless without NOLA
Yea except for I spend my weekends and some vacations in places like Grand Isle or Venice. I spend Saturday nights in the fall in the best stadium in college football. I spend time in Feb/March fishing the spawn at Toledo Bend which is one of the best big bass lakes in the country. Louisiana has tons to offer but you apparently look down on people that enjoy simple things in life.
