Anthony Bourdain visits Cajun Country, a region in southern Louisiana that he says is “much loved but largely misunderstood.” He discovers that it is a “magnificently weird place” where locals continue to do things their own way. He learns the subtle differences between the Cajun and Creole communities and, despite being someone who loathes “anything festive,” manages to have fun while participating in Cajun Mardi Gras.
