Tastiest Town Party

Last night, Lafayette celebrated its Southern Living “Tastiest Town” win with a party at the Acadiana Center for the Arts. Highlights included music by the Bayou Boys, cracklin cupcakes from Sophi P. Cakes (pictured below) and Lafayette Mayor Joey Durel making Southern Living Publisher Greg Schumann and Senior Editor Paula Disbrowe honorary Cajuns. Disbrowe said she and her staff at the magazine were impressed by Lafayette’s passion for food and our chefs and cooks urgency to share that cuisine with the world. Lafayette was neck and neck with Louisville, Kentucky, for much of the competition, finally winning with 194, 502 votes.
