Louisiana is a state located in the southern region of the United States. Louisiana is the 31st most extensive and the 25th most populous of the 50 United States. Its capital is
Baton Rouge and largest city is New Orleans.
Some Louisiana urban environments have a multicultural, multilingual heritage, being so strongly influenced by a mixture of 18th-century French, Spanish, Native American, and African cultures that they are considered to be exceptional in the US. Before the American purchase of the territory in 1803, the current Louisiana State had been both a French colony and a Spanish one. In addition, colonists imported numerous African slaves as laborers in the 18th century. Many came from peoples of the same region of West Africa, thus concentrating their culture.
Majority of Louisiana cuisine is influenced by its multicultural heritage. It is difficult to pick only one dish as a signature, Louisiana is famous for Etouffee, po'boys, boudin, jambalaya and Gumbo. Though rare in New Orleans, the potatoes salad is common in other parts of state, and is thought to be a contribution of German immigrants who settled around what later became known as Lac Des Allemands (Lake of Germans)
Continuing our journey of trying signature dishes of all 50 states without leaving, AZ we stopped at
"Flavors of Louisiana" an small restaurant in Avondale, AZ. This restaurant specializes in Authentic cajun food. Cajun food is often thought to be spicy hot when in actuality real cajun food is what the owner call spicy flavorfull not spicy hot. The restaurant offers Gumbo, Po-boys, Red Beans and Rice, shrimp creole, Crab Landry, Etouffee, and a selection of fried foods which include Catfish, Tilapia, Aligator, Crawfish, Shrimp, Oysters, and Chicken. We are a small restaurant with seating for up to 32 guest. Established in 2008, the "Flavors of Louisiana" was a dream that Jennifer G. has had for a long time. She loves to cook and enjoys people enjoying her food. She is from Baton Rouge, and being raised in a pure cajun home, she could not find any cajun food restaurants in this area that served the kind of food she grew up with. She was a pediatric nurse for 24 years and left nursing to just stay home. A little restaurant became available in Avondale and she and her husband decided to give it a try. So along with their daughter Holli, they opened Flavors of Louisiana that is serving Louisiana signature dishes and is a favorite among many.
