With that being said, what makes Food Network think it could single out Louisiana's food scene down to just one iconic food? What Did Food Network Choose as Louisiana's Most Iconic Food? The Food Network has released a list of what it calls the Most Iconic Food in All 50 States. No, I am not disputing the Food Network finding; I am just having an issue saying that food is the "one" iconic food, like Mount Rushmore. Meanwhile, if you're looking for a little liquid refreshment to wash down all of that iconic food, might we suggest?
