Louisiana

Shaped a little like a pirate’s boot, the Bayou State is pressed between Texas and Mississippi along the Gulf of Mexico. More storied than perhaps any other culinary region of the United States, Louisiana is where ancient culinary traditions collided, creating a uniquely American regional cuisine. Creoles and French-Canadian Cajuns adapted their Spanish- and French-inspired food traditions to make use of local ingredients like powdered sassafras leaves (known as filé powder). In a region already known for its cooking, New Orleans stands out as the undisputed food capital of the South, if not the country. New Orleans is the home of such delights as dirty rice, blackened redfish, gumbo, muffuletta sandwiches, bananas foster, king cake, soft-shell crab po'boy sandwiches, and the Crescent City breakfast of beignets and chicory-flavored coffee with steamed milk (cafe au lait).
