For Louisiana expatriates like me, the ability to obtain the foodstuffs of our homeland is of paramount importance. Whether it's a good Creole or Cajun place to eat out, or a place to get the proper ingredients for cooking ourselves, we've gotta have 'em if we're gonna be happy out here. Los Angeles does not disappoint in that regard.For the L.A. resident in general, we also offer a list of great restaurants (from the deep down in the neighborhood joints where you might need to know another language, to the five-star restaurants) and cool bars where it's as much fun to just hang out as it to drink. All of these listings are, of course, heavily biased by my tastes and that of my friends who've made contributions here, but I think that if you check out some of these places, you won't go wrong. Have fun!

- Where to get snoballs in Los Angeles
- There are a few stands here and there, and they tend to be out of the way. I'll gather addresses here as I stumble across them, but y'know ... if you're a native New Orleanian, sometimes during hot weather there ain't nothin' that'll do it like a snoball (with condensed milk!).
