Lafayettes Most Popular Rainy Day Food Delivery Orders

(KMDL-FM) Weather forecasters are painting a dismal picture of what Lafayette, Louisiana, and Acadiana can expect in terms of outdoor conditions over the next few days. But even though the skies may be filled with rain and our streets filled with water that is waiting to drain, we still have to eat.

Now would be a good time to remind you that heavy rain is forecast not only for today but for tonight, tomorrow, and well into the end of the week. Flood Watches are posted, and the next few days could bring up to ten inches of rainfall to the region. This is a serious weather situation.

And with the advent of so many delivery services in the area, the choices for hungry folks in Acadiana on a rainy day aren’t limited to just pizza anymore. Perhaps that’s why Domino’s, Papa John’s, and Pizza Hut are having to make some hard choices as they look for better ways to do business.

What Does Acadiana Like to Eat on a Rainy Day?

I think the obvious choices lean toward comfort foods. But this is South Louisiana, just how comfortable are we willing to get with some recipes that only our Mamaw knows how to make the right way?

I guess when it comes to inclement weather, we are willing to lower our standards if it means someone else will do the cooking, and then some other poor soul will have to brave the raging torrent that is Ambassador Caffery Parkway after a rainstorm.

Food Delivery Services Are Very Popular on Rainy Days

Where possible, we’ve also included the restaurants that see a solid spike in delivery orders when the bottom falls out of the clouds up above.
