If you’re staying in a Louisiana resort like Neil Castaldi’s Nottoway
Plantation, one of the best ways to explore the state is to head out in
search of local foods. Your resort room is the perfect basecamp for
food tourism, and looking for a state’s best foods will often give you
the most genuine experience of its culture. Spend time wandering between
Louisiana cities like Baton Rouge, New Orleans and Lafayette, and ask
locals where you can find the best restaurants.
Gumbo is a regional favorite in Louisiana, and it varies from thick soup to chunky stew with chicken, seafood, wild game of Andouille sausage. If you can find gumbo with authentic Louisiana Andouille sausage, which is made from a Cajun blend of pork meat and pork stomach, you can experience two culture staples in a single dish. Beignets are another local favorite, and you’ll find these deep-friend pastries at cafes and coffee shops around Louisiana.
During your adventures away from Neil Castaldi’s Nottoway Plantation, consider seeking out Boudin as part of your food tourism. Boudin is a stuffed Cajun sausage with pork and rice, and it’s a common on-the-go snack that you can enjoy during a city stroll. Also, don’t forget to sample the state’s seafood. Most of Louisiana’s seafood is caught the same day you eat it and sampling local catfish, crawfish or crab is a luxury that you won’t want to pass up.
