The Mardi Gras season has officially started.

With Mardi Gras season comes one of my favorite foods around, King Cake. I mean what is better than a flavor-filled pastry with purple, green, and gold sugar on the top?

Now I know that this topic can literally cause family members to stop talking to each other, but I am going to bring it up because I know I am always searching for the best King Cake around. So I took to social media to find out who has the best King Cakes in Lafayette...Here are your answers:

Now if you are looking to make a drive the two and a half hours to New Orleans then I encourage you to stop in at Manny Randazzo King Cake and get a King Cake. This is my personal favorite King Cake and surprisingly several people said it was their favorite too. I don't get this little taste of home very often but if I am being completely honest I will never turn down a King Cake from anywhere.
