Baton Rouge is a destination-worthy city with a rich food-and-drink scene, according to a new feature in Wine Enthusiast magazine.
The article—“Getting to Know Baton Rouge, Louisiana’s Undercover Culinary Capital”—highlights the city’s diverse food and drink offerings, spotlighting local establishments like Cocha, The Gregory, Parrain’s Seafood Restaurant, Cane Land Distilling, Olive or Twist, and The Cove.
The city, the magazine notes, is just a short drive from New Orleans and offers a food-and-drink scene that’s full of Gulf Coast flavor—without the tourist traps.
“There’s more than one destination-worthy city in Louisiana,” Wine Enthusiast declares. “Baton Rouge, the state’s capital and second-largest city, shares New Orleans’ rich, multicultural history, but in a decidedly tamer setting. (Except perhaps on LSU football game days). The increasingly diverse culinary scene never loses its local color (crawfish phở, anyone?).”
