“I Love The Cajun Food In New Orleans”
By and large, the food you find in New Orleans is not Cajun food . It’s actually quite different from the food you’ll find in Acadiana .
New Orleans’ food is more tomato based Creole food.
Equally as delicious, but not what we consider to be Cajun food.
If you’re confused, just ask the question above and we promise we will very quickly and sternly explain it to you.

“Isn’t North Of I-10 Really Just Texas?”
Listen to me, do not, we repeat DO NOT ask a Cajun this. If you wind up asking this and the Cajun is from let’s say Church Point, you’re going to have a serious problem.
By asking this, you’re basically saying that places like Opelousas, Eunice, Sunset, and Mamou are not part of Acadiana. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
