Louisiana Coastal Cooking
Louisiana Coastal Cooking is a new culinary project that celebrates the bounty of Southeast Louisiana and raises awareness about coastal restoration through the lens of food. This 13-part road trip will take you to small communities and out-of-the-way places - often by boat - to showcase the regional cuisine of the state's bayous and waterways prepared by chefs and home cooks.
