Of course the seafood, but one underrated part about Baton Rouge is the Lebanese food. I lived in Idaho and the one Mediterranean restaurant in Boise was meh. When I came back, it was always beignets, shrimp poboy, and combo plate from Albasha.

The only thing I miss is crawfish boils and the availability of crawfish. I’m lucky to eat crawfish once a year and boiled is like 10 bucks a pound, and also not great quality wise

I miss how friendly people there can be. I miss seeing a couple people standing around downtown or wherever and talking and laughing. I’m in Houston, it’s perfectly fine but people don’t even smile or laugh out loud out here. I like how in Louisiana people let loose and enjoy themselves.
I also miss the food. Houston is being touted as having food good food now and that is some bullshite, the food here sucks bad.

Houston is less than 300 miles from south east Louisiana was way less than that to SW LA.
It’s basically the same region. You’re not 1500-2000 miles away where you can see vast differences.
Honestly I think of Houston and most of SE Texas as an extension of LA.
Austin and the hill country are different than LA but not Houston or even Dallas to an extent.

If I ever moved it would probably be the fishing I missed the most. You can make all the best Cajun food at home where you end up

Fresh seafood, attending every LSU home game and the combined smell of gardenia, confederate jasmine & sweet olive

Aside from Mexican food yes I agree. They try to make food like South LA does but it just sucks

Alabama has more dried shrimp than Louisiana
I’ve seen bags of white dirt for sale in Alabama gas station convenience stores.
You can even read about the odd cultural phenomenon of it here: Tuscaloosa News
I don’t ever recall seeing dried shrimp anywhere there, though.

Having family close would be great. But we are just in the Houston area, so not really all that far.
I do miss the coastal fishing that I was very familiar with. Would almost certainly have a fishing camp that would be great to experience with the kids. But too far to SELA to adequately use a camp there. There's options here, but I'd be much more comfortable buying in LA.

The consensus is the quality of food. If you know the Cajun Food Trinity then you can cook good SE La food where you can get these ingredients.
Hell they can't even make a good roux in Boston.

Isn't that the truth! We have a lot of greek places but their chicken shawarmas are huge chicken chunks that tend to be dry instead of the thin shaved pieces I'm used to. The closest I've found is a foo foo place that costs $20 for a small portion (and that is for take out) or a food truck you have to go on a wild goose chase to find him.
