When it comes to locally-owned mom and pop restaurants in Louisiana, Acadiana has the market cornered.

That's not even an opinion, it's just an absolute fact.

If it wasn't then why would 5 locally owned and operated Acadiana restaurants appear on the "Best Mom and Pop Restaurants in Louisiana"?

Taking up 50% of the list is pretty darn strong.

Website bestthingsla.com did the research, asked Louisianians who's the best, and the masses have spoken.
