Breaux Bridge and the crawfish
1959
Breaux Bridge, Louisiana

The legislature named this town the crawfish capital of the world on its centenary, which was possible because Louisiana had turned a swamp animal most Americans considered inedible into a farmed crop grown in flooded rice fields. The state now produces the overwhelming majority of the crawfish eaten in the country, and a boil is the standard form of a party.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
