Time Out names New Orleans world's best food city; how oil and gas money shapes LSU research

Gumbo is the quintessential dish off New Orleans, signifying home to many.

Gumbo is the quintessential dish off New Orleans, signifying home to many.

The media group Time Out covers food and culture around the world. They recently ranked the best food cities across the globe, and to no surprise to those of us who live here, New Orleans is No. 1!

Chelsea Shannon, trending food and dining reporter for the Times Picayune/ The Advocate tells us a little more about the list and why New Orleans outranked other cities.

Last week, we brought you the first episode of “Fueling Knowledge,” a series from the Sea Change team that explores the ties between the oil and gas industry and LSU. Today, we dive further into their investigation to learn about the strings attached to taking big oil money.

Today’s episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Bob Pavlovich. Our managing producer is Alana Schreiber. We get production support from Garrett Pittman and our assistant producer Aubry Procell.

You can listen to Louisiana Considered Monday through Friday at noon and 7 p.m. It’s available on Spotify, the NPR App and wherever you get your podcasts.
