re: Is food disappointing outside of La?

LA is somewhat unique in America because you have your own cuisine. Much like Italian, Mexican, Greek, etc., LA has its own cuisine. Is it true Italy is likely to have the best Italian food in the world? Yes. Greek in Greece? Yep. Cajun in LA? Yep.

You're best at your cuisine. The argument then becomes is cajun cuisine the best in the world. HEEEELLLLLL no. Not even close, imo. But you're right, it is something that can be debated.

Framing it even further from reality, asking if LA has the best general food options in the world, regardless of cuisine, is an absolutely ridiculous thing to even ask.

But it’s not. Maybe per capita it has variety, but it’s not varied.

The Mexican sucks. BBQ is bad. Asian food is terrible outside of a few Vietnamese places, Etc. NOLA has a few French restaurants and “Italian” but it’s really not varied at all.

It’s unique. It’s not varied. Just like Tex Mex is unique

You guys est craw dad's and gator.

Creole and Cajun are two different types. Again, stupid question.

I think you are confused, bud.

In a lot of respects? Yes.

Can you find a good, non-Louisiana meal elsewhere? Yes, but it takes some work.

I don't eat Louisiana food very far from the Louisiana coast. I don't eat Louisiana food in North Louisiana. My only rule.

This. Every time I’ve tried “Louisiana food” outside of south Louisiana, it’s been a disappointment. If I’m not in Louisiana, I’ll go for whatever that area is known for
