In another post on November 3, Cassidy celebrated Louisiana’s recent recognition by the Michelin Guide, writing: “The Michelin guide is just now discovering what we’ve known our whole lives: Louisiana has the best food in the world! Huge congratulations to Emeril’s (2 stars), and to Zasu and Saint-Germain (1 star) on this well-deserved recognition!

Senator Bill Cassidy represents Louisiana in the U.S. Senate. The “Schumer Shutdown” referenced in his posts refers to a government shutdown for which some Republican lawmakers attribute responsibility to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democratic leadership. Government shutdowns occur when Congress fails to pass appropriations bills or continuing resolutions needed to fund federal agencies, often resulting in furloughs for federal workers and disruptions of services.
Louisiana’s inclusion in the Michelin Guide marks a significant achievement for its culinary scene. Renowned chef Emeril Lagasse’s restaurant received two stars while Zasu and Saint-Germain each earned one star, highlighting their contributions to Louisiana’s reputation for distinctive cuisine.
