Florida is definitely the best of the SEC states. But again, there are other states in the US that shite on Florida, so LOL at OP thinking he's living in the most desirable state or whatever.

Ha, this **** put kentucky over Tennessee. Yeah, I'm dying to make another trip to Louisville!
Kentucky has Bourbon, Keeneland, and Churchill Downs.
Tennessee has shitty fricking Jack Daniels and a Nascar track. Also a lot of shitty arse country music and Memphis crime.

You would be surprised at the number of great restaurants that have opened in the last 2 to 3 years. Come check em out!

You need to read about where cajuns migrated from. I know why Louisiana was named what is was named. I'm not the one who needs a history lesson.
You seem to be skipping over part of it still. Guess who sold the Louisiana Territory to the US? Some guy named Napoleon...BTW the Acadians primarily settled outside of New Orleans, in predominantly rural areas of Louisiana.

I know who sold the Louisiana Territory to the US. I'm not sure why it matters in the grand scheme of things.
It's time to go grab some dinner though. It's been real.

I was speaking of cooking. And I still stand by that. Feel free to point out all the nationally known French-inspired cuisine from states other than Louisiana.
I'll wait right here...
The use of drippings, gravies (roux), even Chicken and Dumplings which are Appalachian are very much French influenced. E. TN and KY use a great deal of rich sauces that are French in influence and origin. You and everyone else has heard of these things but don't know they're French because of the prevailing myth that everyone in America descends from either assorted nationalities under the UK or from Africa.
And Louisiana? Y'all owe as much of a debt to Spain, often a bigger debt, than France in terms of the dishes associated with your state. However, the point is the South is very much an admixture. Even dishes that originated in a sub-region or state didn't stay put for very long.

I guess all those major publications calling Nashville one of the best cities must be wrong.

You mean Japanese owned makers mark and beam? Give me ole Jack and Dickle any day. Nashville May have some shitty country music but it also has much more than that. Flourishing rock scene and a world class symphony hall. Create a poll. It won't turnout well for Kentucky.

French cuisine is in no way, shape, or form influenced by anything from Louisiana.
Chef Paul Prudhomme was, literally, the man who "started it all." Almost single-handedly he was responsible for launching the Cajun cooking craze that began in the early 1980s and, unlike most fads, this one hasn't abated since then nor does it show any signs of doing so anytime soon.
The popularity of one of his recipes alone – blackened redfish – placed an entire species on the "endangered" list, such was the insatiable demand for it. Even today more than a quarter of a century later, there are still "catch limits" on redfish in the Gulf of Mexico and inland estuaries.
Chef Paul has been named Restaurateur of the Year in Louisiana and was the first American-born chef to receive the coveted Merité-Agricole of the French Republic.
Chef Paul Prudhomme
Yeah, no influence there at all...

Look, I don't mean to come across as a food snob here, but I'm betting people don't jet into Tennessee and Kentucky for the world-famous Chicken and Dumplings.
Louisiana chefs created recipes that were imitated around the world...including France. "Blackening" was created in New Orleans comparatively recently.

...blackening is NOT a traditional Cajun technique, as its inventor Chef Paul freely states. It is a nouvelle American technique developed by a chef who is Cajun

Do you know anything about food or are you just googling? I cited Chicken and Dumplings because it's French, the French have an original dish by another name. We simply originated it here in the US because of well... French influence.

Jacksonville Florida is one of the most boring shite holes I ever had the displeasure of having wasted 6 weeks of my life in.

Did you read what I wrote? It's all true. And yes, I know cooking, and love to cook. I'm a true child of my state in that regard, and proud of our culinary accomplishments.

A Kentucky company owns Jack. A British one owns your bourbon. Besides, the Whiskey versus Bourbon thing is an invention - fun to fight about but calling either shitty is just a matter of state pride.
Speaking of which... it's time to bring back the Keg. It survived Prohibition and we've both respected those who died in an unrelated event long enough. It just makes sense for UT-UK to battle over a keg. Screw MADD.
