In Louisiana, there's one thing we know for sure: we eat well. Come to Louisiana, and you can, too. Whether you have spicy boiled crawfish in Lafayette, seafood gumbo in New Orleans, southern barbecue in Monroe, good old fashioned pecan pie in Alexandria, or Natchitoches Meat Pies in, well, Natchitoches, you'll understand that eating in Louisiana is more than a way to sustain life; it's a way to enjoy it. In fact, there's a saying about dining in Louisiana: In other places they eat to live, but in Louisiana we live to eat.
