Hematologist and oncologist Dr. Sanjay Juneja shares his favorite things

For our 20th anniversary in 2025, we quizzed a group of well-known Baton Rougeans with a list of questions that harked back to one of our staple sections, “Your Flavor.”

Though this page has phased out of the magazine, we brought it back for our commemorative November 2025 issue with prompts themed around our big 20th milestone. Enjoy this updated version of 225′s Your Flavor series below.
