16 Things You Only See in Louisiana

We are blessed with great food, art, music, people and so much more here in Louisiana. We have a specialty meat market on every corner, every gas station sells alcohol AND their own brand of seasoning, and we have better food at gas station here than most states have in their best restaurants. If you don't believe that, try getting some boudin and cracklin' in Connecticut. We celebrate by throwing thousands of beads at people we don't actually know, we get excited about tv shows that feature alligators, and generally just have a good time when there is ANY kind of food involved. We are awesome, and people come from all over the world to visit our beautiful state.
