Year of Food: South Region

South Region
From the bounty of the bayou to Cajun classics and the Creole charm of New Orleans, the South region is home to iconic Louisiana flavor. Sample seafood straight off the boat, hearty red beans and rice, crawfish-studded bisque, piled-high po’boys and more!

Creole vs. Cajun
Creole and Cajun cuisine are two sides of the same coin, but they reflect the culinary traditions of two distinct ethnic groups.
Creole cuisine reflects the urban atmosphere of a port city. From Gulf-fresh seafood in rich sauces to ripe tomatoes, Creole cuisine blends flavors and ingredients from its multi-ethnic population to create something new, cosmopolitan and uniquely New Orleans.
Meanwhile, the rural Cajun cuisine of Acadiana reflects the hunting traditions of early Canadian-French settlers, featuring robust, hearty flavors. Think of smoked meats, spicy sausage, dark roux and one-pot dishes like jambalaya.
