It's clearly more than just a food sampling trip; it's an immersive introduction to Lafayette and Cajun country that leaves visitors feeling like family by the end.
We recently went on the Cajun Food tour. The occasion: our grandson was in town and even though he has grown up visiting us, now that he is older, hewanted to experience more food unique to our area. And it was our very first food tour! We have lived in Lafayette for 43 years and I learned so much about how our food became unique. Be sure and come hungry because you will be stuffed when you finish. Marie was our guide and she gave us a great history behind the foods and also told us some unique stories. It was SO much fun!
