This will have been drawn from the work of Erin Reed Though its worth noting her only firm, DO NOT TRAVEL, so far, is florida. Though the rest are of course still dangerous.
Cajun food is great. Basically, southern food in general is good. You can't get boiled peanuts up north. Besides food? Not really.
Minnesota State fair. Boiled peanuts were added in 2022.
Next?
southern bbq
I mean.. Dave Anderson's Old Southern BBQ is called southern... Won some awards.
To be fair, I have only had BBQ in Texas and Memphis, so grain of salt.

Else you have black market st. Paul - wouldn't call it "southern" when it's -10 degrees and they are smoking up some pork, but damn good smoked BBQ.

my buddys been to an old southern bbq restaurant a handful of times. he says its either the best bbq youve ever had or the driest shit on earth 😂 and its not even a different location
Yeah Famous Dave seems to have lost a step since he sold his namesake...
But then you have to be in the Midwest…
Well, but you have an international airport close by, a major mall, rent's in the mail, and you can always find a parking space. Women out number the men two to one and there's parks and zoos and.... Shhh.
Do you know how easy it is making boiled peanuts?
Its literally just peanuts boiled in salty water forever
Super easy in a slowcooker or even a regular pot
You can have them whenever and wherever you want
Note: the above is talking about raw peanuts, which are very hard to find up north. Doing this to a bag of roasted peanuts will make you very sad.
Ok fair point. Raw peanuts arent too hard to find here down south. There is a farmers market grocery store by me that i can get them delivered from
I did try it with roasted peanuts the first time and like... it technically worked but raw peanuts turn out way better
Eh Maryland, and Baltimore in particular has everything from grits to chowders. If you're thinking about a crawfish boil/stew/gumbo, they have those too, and the superior crab version.
I agree the crab is better, but not the Cajun food. I've lived in Alabama and NoVA and there's a large difference. I've also lived in southern VA and SC, and they're all different. Each have benefits, but real Cajun is special.
Ah well we'll have to disagree then. I grew up in Maryland and for my money the food is the best in the world.
I don't believe that any food is the best in the world. Everywhere does something better than somewhere else. That's what makes the world great.
Canned or fresh? Because I can buy them canned. I wouldn't but the option is there!
But I do agree the food is good. Southern and Cajun both. Also Creole.
I've done canned. They fill a hole that I miss, but fresh is special.
