How are we not number one on this one?  I'm not saying that we don't have a great number of gym rats in the Bayou State that help balance our grading curve, but with the food we have here, I'm just amazed that we aren't some of the biggest people on the planet.

Look at our choices!  There's everything from oyster po-boys to bananas foster, shrimp and grits and dirty rice (rice dressing as the Cajuns call it).  We are home to some of the finest cuisine anywhere on God's green Earth.  And if it doesn't taste exactly like you want, you just haven't put enough Tony's on it!

Just ask anyone who has ever visited Louisiana.  The first thing they'll tell you, after they mention how beautiful our women are, is that the food here is incredible!
