Cajun Corner | CAJUN & Texas Influences

By: Christopher Bergeron

“Born and raised in Thibodaux, Louisiana in ‘78, I relocated to Texas in 2007, first to League City then to Galveston Island.  


It is astounding the number of Louisiana folks that call Texas home. One doesn’t have to venture far to find similarities between Cajun and Texas culture. Food, music, celebrations and a deep sense of family are all evidence that Texas culture has influenced Cajun culture just as much as Cajun culture has influenced Texas Culture; to the point where it’s practically indistinguishable. 


This column highlights many of the similarities in cuisine, music, lifestyle and good folks that keep the roots of Cajun culture alive right here on the Island. So, let’s roll. “
