Tonight, 19 Louisiana chefs representing 17 restaurants are partnering with Dallas area dining establishments to serve one-of-a-kind-dishes to 150 travel writers and social media influencers.
“One of many reasons why people come to Louisiana is because of our unique and flavorful cuisine. What a better way to showcase what we have to offer than in a major city in driving distance to Louisiana. Whether you come for the weekend or a longer stay, there are excellent food establishments all across the state,” said Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser.
This initiative from Louisiana Culinary Trails is under the Louisiana Office of Tourism and supported by the Louisiana Travel Association. The Louisiana Culinary Trails is an online road trip around Louisiana’s eight regions that shares dining spots for every budget ranging from fine dining to mom-and-pop diners.
