Louisiana chefs take Cajun, Creole flavors to Chicago showcase

Sixteen of Louisiana’s most acclaimed chefs will take the state’s flavors, culinary traditions and hospitality to the Windy City next month as part of “Taste Louisiana in Chicago,” a one-night event designed to give attendees a true taste of the Bayou State. The Nov. 4 event at City Hall by Recess in Chicago’s West Loop is part of a tourism marketing initiative that encourages travel to Louisiana through one of its biggest draws: food. The showcase is a collaborative effort between the Louisiana Travel Association, Louisiana Office of Tourism, Cajun Coast Tourism/St. Mary Parish and the Louisiana Seafood Promotion & Marketing Board. Guests will sample dishes from a diverse lineup of chefs representing nearly every corner of Louisiana, along with Louisiana-made beverages and live performances by Cajun music icon Wayne Toups and singer-songwriter David St. Romain. “Taste Louisiana” organizers say the event highlights how food serves as both a cultural touchstone and a driving force behind tourism and community identity across the state. “We are thrilled to bring the flavors, music and spirit of Louisiana to Chicago for this year’s Taste Louisiana event,” Chris Landry, president and CEO of the Louisiana Travel Association said. “From an incredible lineup of Louisiana

9 Louisiana Restaurants Where The Building Has Almost As Much Character As The Menu

One Louisiana restaurant shares its building with a working country store. You can grab a bag of chips on your way to a plate of turtle sauce piquant. I love that. It’s like your grocery run and your lunch date finally agreed to carpool. Somebody deserves a medal for...

Louisiana Legacy Sings Proud at This 38-Year-Old Houston Restaurant

At Zydeco Louisiana Diner in downtown Houston, 38 years of cooking keep Louisiana family recipes at the table. Co-owner Martin Venable, a Louisiana native, opened the cafeteria-style restaurant with two friends in 1988, after leaving college. His mother taught him to cook, passing along techniques he later used to make meals for his friends. Those friends encouraged him to open a restaurant, turning lessons learned at home into a business serving Houstonians. The menu changes daily, featuring dishes familiar around dinner tables in Acadia Parish, Louisiana, where those food traditions run deep. Options include chicken and sausage creole, seafood court-bouillon, jambalaya and crawfish étouffée, depending on the day's changing menu. Other dishes include seasoned baked chicken, shrimp and crab sauce piquante, and chicken and sausage gumbo with jalapeño cornbread. Martin Venable says some people drive past for years before finally stopping in, then quickly become regular weekly customers. The restaurant operated as a lunch-only spot before adding dinner service in 2016; many longtime favorites remain on the menu.

Cajun Tradition Meets Global Sophistication at This Louisiana Hot Spot

A weekend in Acadiana, exploring Louisiana towns like Mamou and Rayne, Lafayette and Opelousas, promises Cajun fiddle in the morning and zydeco frottoir at night, fueled by drive-through boudin and roadhouse crawfish. But a traveler can’t live off chank-a-chank and cayenne alone. Soon, a question forms: After you’ve dripped crawfish juice on your blouse and smeared boudin on your jeans, where can you go once you clean up for a dinner that’s less oilcloth and more white tablecloth, at a restaurant that serves wine in bottles instead of a joint that serves beer in cans?
