Miko’s Donuts Anniversary, Antoni’s Eat Fit Options 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 September “Acadiana Bites,” featuring local food news.
