Steen’s Syrup, The Lunchbox, Hive Market and More Food News
October Acadiana Bites: New Steen's Syrup Book, Hive Market's New Hours and More
One thing we all do is eat. And while I can’t speak for everyone, I will say most people I know – myself included – get especially excited to know what’s going on in the local food scene.
Whether it’s eating everything you can at Taste of Acadiana, exploring where to try a viral trend or seeing an influencer rave about the hole-in-the-wall you’ve been going to for years, we all have an opinion on food.
Catch up on the October “Acadiana Bites,” featuring local food news.
