I want to eat somewhere the locals eat.
Well, it’s almost like you’re asking for two different things. If you want true cajun cuisine, New Orleans isn’t your best bet for that. For real cajun cuisine, your best bet would be to look in a city like Lafayette.
Now, if you want some great Creole cuisine, there are tons of places to be found. One of my favorite restaurants that kind of combines Creole cooking with all things New Orleans is Jacque Imo’s on Oak St., but it’s a little pricy.
Mandina’s (on Canal) and Liuzza’s (on Bienville) are great New Orleans hangouts, are more reasonably priced, and serve some great New Orleans dishes.
I don’t know if you’re interested, but here’s a link to a neat article on Creole vs. Cajun I found:

Oh, and finally, for whatever your tastes, here is a link I sent to someone the other day. I find it to be the definitive guide on New Orleans dining right now:

Oh, and if you like oysters, and they got a place downtown now, you need to get some charbroiled oysters at Drago’s. They’re a little pricey, but it’s practically a New Orleans tradition–although, ironically, they were just in Metairie for forever.

I mean following traditions etc. How do you identify? I am 1/2 Cajun, and I love the culture and the food.
Spiritually speaking!!!!
Sally – I am an adopted Minnesotan!
Melting Media – My family names are Crochet and Landry and they came from France via Nova Scotia, Canada.
Everyone is 1/2 Cajun these days. Funny how their last names are Kowalski and MacGilvery. Paul Prudhomme made it cool in the 1980s. Growing up in New Orleans, Cajuns were equated with other minorities until Paul’s personality won over the world. Suddenly, New Orleans French, of a completely different area, were claiming to be Cajun.
I am the grandson of Scots and Danish immigrants who loves Cajun Food and has a real Cajun sister in law, maiden name Simone Leger of the St. Amand family from Opelousas.
I just call myself an American with a genetic disposition to love sardines and shortbread (not together.)

This film is the story of a series of bizarre and interconnected discoveries that revealed a hidden face of nature. It is about how inanimate matter with no purpose or design can spontaneously create exquisite beauty. It is about the same laws that make the universe chaotic and unpredictable, how it can turn simple dust into human beings. You'll find out the astonishing beauty in the order of disorder and how computers simulate evolution, with an accompanying haunting soundtrack (including the tracks by Brian Eno, Philip Glass, Erik Satie etc.)
