The people behind the plates
Cajun Food Tours is a local history lesson you can eat.
Founder Marie Ducote-Comeaux started the company to share the food, stories, and hospitality that make Acadiana feel like home.
Meet the tours
Good food is a way in.A founder-led welcome
Marie knew the history. She wanted visitors to taste it.
Marie Ducote-Comeaux, a former Louisiana history teacher, created Cajun Food Tours after experiencing food tours in other cities and seeing a way to tell Acadiana’s story through its kitchens.
Today, local guides such as Jay Steiner and Whitney Ross connect visitors to Lafayette, Vermilionville, Cajun culture, and the people who keep the region’s food traditions moving forward.
The result is a tour company with a simple idea: the fastest way to understand a place is to sit down at its table.
The guides make the difference
Stories sound better when they come from someone who lives here.
