Slidell showcases the rich culture of Southern Louisiana in its activities, attractions and cuisine. Local fishermen and shrimpers supply the majority of the seafood for Slidell's cafes and restaurants, which means an ample supply of Gulf area shrimp, oysters, and seasonal crawfish to flavor Cajun and Creole dishes like gumbo, jambalaya, and po'boy sandwiches. Slidell casts a wider net with its local kitchens that cater to diners with diverse tastes. Mexican, Italian, Japanese and Chinese mingle with quick American spots serving burgers, pizza and sandwiches. Deep in Cajun Country, Slidell offers activities and food that allow locals and tourists to sample bits of Louisiana and world cultures.
