Lake Charles and Southwest Louisiana have more reasons to visit than you might think. For episode 100, Brady and Jillian count them all. From world-class casino resorts and Cajun food that could hold its own anywhere on earth, to free-flowing bayous, Spanish moss on live oaks, drive-thru daiquiris, and a beach vibe with none of the crowds, this is everything Louisiana's Playground has been building toward. One hundred reasons, 19 buckets, and a finish line that lands exactly where it should. Episode 100 marks the debut of the Louisiana's Playground multimedia studio and the beginning of the show's video-first era. This is what the podcast looks like from here. For Envie Eats, Brady and Jillian visit Tokyo on Nelson Street, Lake Charles's only hot pot restaurant. VLC President and CEO Kyle Edmiston also stops in to talk about what the new studio means for Lake Charles beyond the podcast itself. Louisiana's Playground is the official podcast of Visit Lake Charles, covering the food, people, outdoors, and culture of Southwest Louisiana.
