cajun culture

The out-of-towners were hoping to get some authentic, delicious Cajun food and, they did...but when they least expected it, they got much more.

There are many Cajun last names that even folks born and raised in Acadiana get wrong from time to time.

It seems a new "official" beer of Acadiana has been crowned but, it's almost like we don't want to admit it.

Could restaurants fraudulently selling horrible "Cajun" or "Creole" food to unsuspecting customers be in violation of the Interstate Commerce Clause?

If you suddenly woke in someone's house, not knowing them, or knowing where you are, could you figure out if the people who lived there were from Acadiana?

Hey, entire whole wide world...you're welcome.

During WWII, young Cajun and Creole soldiers suddenly found themselves in crucial, invaluable roles that quite literally helped obtain victory in Europe.

We found one big name at the top of the list, in second place an instant roux that's made in Ville Platte, Louisiana and a tie for the 4th place spot by two not-so-big names.

It's time to get "hydrated and motivated" with the latest Cajun YouTube sensation Stalekracker!

From time to time I notice how some of us just butcher words or our dialect kicks in and we just really make a word our own. And then there are times when to add to words -- like the always popular superfluous "S".

We took to social media to find out how folks in the epicenter of the Cajun Heartland would finish this sentence, "You Know it's Lafayette When...".

Here in Acadiana, we have our own unique ways of celebrating holidays, and New Year's Eve is no exception.

I am a skeptic by nature so, I must admit, some of these sound very far-fetched. Especially the one about eating the boiled chicken foot.

Obviously, We know how to cook really, really well. So, when it comes to a Holiday centered around food, we don't "just cook".

In Acadiana you'll find hundreds of Cajun last names like Landry, Broussard, Hebert, LeBlanc, and many more. But, what do those Cajun Last Names actually mean?

When you take a look at all of the great things a Cajun man can bring to a relationship, it quickly becomes clear there's more than meets the eye.

Is your name or the name of someone you know on this list? We may have broken spell check with this one...

I found their review of "Belizaire the Cajun" from 1986 and to be honest, was pretty surprised at what they had to say about it.

Have you ever typed in few words on Google just to see what funny search terms pop up? I decided to do that to see what folks are Googling about Cajuns, and it's pretty entertaining.

I even found a couple of "Cajun" movies that are...pretty odd but entertaining in unintentional, and hilarious ways.
