Louisiana is known for a lot, but one of the main things unique to Louisiana is our food.

Our history may be rich, and so is our food. Louisiana knows how to serve up a good time, especially at the table. From Creole to Cajun dishes, soul food to seafood, Oysters Rockefeller to oyster po'boys, the menu is as culturally diverse as this legendary state. Richly flavored soups and stews, such as &eacute;touff&eacute;e and gumbo, are a signature of Cajun cooking. Crawfish, a Louisiana trademark, is ubiquitous on both formal and informal menus, whether fried, boiled, saut&eacute;ed or &eacute;touff&eacute;ed. The only thing richer than the food in Louisiana is the history, so experience everything Louisiana has to offer - you are sure to love it all!</p>
