There are plenty of great places to eat in Calcasieu Parish, but only one can call themselves number one!
Who truly has the best food in our region? It will always be up for debate, just like the argument of who has the "Best Boudin in Louisiana". If you trust the nominations of 7,400 voters, here are the Top 3 restaurants in Lake Charles and SWLA.
