Traveling this year has been at a minimum, to say the least. And if you’re like us, then one of the things you miss the most about traveling to other states is sampling the regional cuisine. Fortunately, for Cajun food lovers, we don’t have to drive or fly all the way to Louisiana. There are a number of Cajun restaurants right here in North Carolina.

Some of the best Cajun cuisine in the state is found at Dat's Cajun Cafe in Hendersonville.

Technically a Cajun and Creole eatery, Dat's also offers some other must-try entrees - like this one called, 'Not Your Mama's Lasagna.'

Did your mama's lasagna look this scrumptious?
Po'boys come in a variety of flavors. Get a side of French fries to complete the combo.
