Can You Guess Louisiana's Signature Food?

When thinking about signature dishes across the country, a few may immediately come to mind: Lobster rolls in the Northeast, deep-dish pizza in the Midwest, fried chicken in the South. These dishes, however, can vary state by state.

Stacker searched through reviews, local newspapers, histories, and recipe collections, all culminating in a list of the signature food in each state. According to the list:

"None of the dishes will help anyone shed any pounds or take inches off the waistline, nor should they. Signature dishes are ones to be sought out, savored and remembered."

So what did Stacker determine was Louisiana's signature food?

Po'boy sandwich

Many things may come to mind when thinking of Louisiana's go-to food, but po'boys are the dish most associated with the state. Here's what Stacker had to say about the Pelican State's signature dish:

"So many delicious dishes are served in Louisiana that deserve mention, but the po'boy sandwich is king. It's French bread heaped with fried oysters or shrimp or maybe catfish, dressed with lettuce, pickles, mayonnaise, and hot sauce. According to local legend, po'boys emerged during a 1929 streetcar strike when a New Orleans restaurant concocted a hearty sandwich to feed striking workers for free."
