I made some jambalaya a couple of weeks ago. My wife asked me if I was going to put some tomatoes in it. It took a great deal of restraint to limit my response to "No dear".
There are a couple of things N Louisiana should be better known for. Actually both come from Monroe. That’s where Joe Biedenhern who first bottled Coca Cola. It’s also the place Delta Airlines Was started.
#baconfatroux Well yea. Sadly a number of establishments in NOLA do as well. In their jambalaya as well. #fknsad
Which is exactly why when I meet people that inquire I tell them New Orleans is a tourist trap and not really Louisiana at all. I tell them rent a car and drive about an hour to 90 min west. That is where you will find the true flavor of Louisiana.
