The Best Cheeseburger in Louisiana Has Been Crowned

Lafayette, Louisiana (KPEL-FM) - Louisiana is known around the world for our unique culture, food, and way of life.

Although Louisiana is most known for our signature dishes like jambalaya, gumbo, boiled crawfish, king cakes, and much more, we aren't slacking when it comes to how we cook more traditional foods.

Every state has a restaurant that serves what is considered to be the best cheeseburger you can hope can eat, and there's one unassuming Louisiana restaurant that has recently been crowned to have "The Best Cheeseburger" in all of the Pelican State.
