We’re blessed to live in such a unique state. People travel from all over the world to experience our culture, food, and music, and yet here we are, just living it every single day.

Gumbo, jambalaya, étouffée... the list goes on and on. Sure, you may see a Cajun item on a menu up North, but you know it’s never going to be as good as it is down here.
Neighboring states may also have crawfish boils, but Louisianians know that we throw the best mudbug parties around. (Nice try, Mississippi.)
