In season 11, episode 9 of Man v. Food, host Casey Webb heads to Lafayette, Louisiana, where he delves into the culinary traditions and iconic dishes of Cajun and Creole cuisine. The episode starts with Casey trying his luck at eating six pounds of crawfish, corn, and potatoes in 90 minutes at Crawfish Town USA. After this intense challenge, he visits Johnson’s Boucanière, a family-owned barbecue restaurant that has been in business for over 50 years. Here, Casey braves a smoked alligator sausage po’boy to add to his list of food accomplishments.

Next up is Fezzo’s Seafood, Steakhouse, and Oyster Bar. Casey tries their killer smoked boudin sausage and shrimp and grits, both staples of down-home Cajun cooking. He then heads over to Cajun Market Donut Company, a place he describes as the “holy grail” of donut shops. Casey tries out their signature Beignet Burger, a crispy fried doughnut stuffed with a beef patty and cheese, and topped with bacon and honey glazed ham.

The last stop in Lafayette is at Olde Tyme Grocery, a quaint sandwich shop with over 100 years of history behind it. Here, Casey tries their fully-loaded shrimp po’boy, a dish that the shop is famous for. The sandwich is piled high with fried shrimp that’s been stuffed with crab meat and topped with lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo. Finally, Casey wraps up the episode with a trip to Prejean’s Restaurant, which is known for its fried catfish. But, the real challenge here is the seafood platter, which includes shrimp, oysters, a crab cake, and two catfish fillets.

Throughout the episode, Casey also meets some of the local chefs, whose cooking and family history are tied to the cultural roots of Cajun and Creole cuisine. He learns about the unique ingredients, flavors, and techniques that make these dishes a favorite among locals and travelers alike. As always, Casey gives his honest and ultimate verdict on the taste, presentation, and overall experience of each dish, leaving viewers hungry and inspired to go on their own culinary adventures.
