I'm not entirely sure, but I travel around that area a fair bit and I believe a previous post correctly defined it as a difference in the tomato base. Creole is definitely more tomato based and cajun uses a roux.
If I'm right, what do I get??

Creole uses roux, just generally a lighter one. If there's tomato it's likely Creole. Creole jambalaya will look red, Cajun will be brown.

So Cajun food has no tomato. And darker roux. As an outsider, it doesn't seem like a vast difference but I think that I get it. Those could be huge differences to some people in LA.
Anyone know the history of the tomato free Cajun food? I thought tomatoes were widespread in the New World. Unless the original Acadians didn't have them in Acadia and didn't adopt them in their LA cuisine?
All my Cajun cooking knowledge comes from Justin Wilson but it seems that he wasn't even Acadian.

Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

I'm a fan of blackened chicken and pork. I like Zatarain's and Cajun's Choice.
Is it Cajun, Creole, or neither? Just a Chef Prudhomme creation?

Tony was born in Opelousas which is Cajun country. He may have gone with Creole as the description for broader market appeal. Cajuns can be crafty like that.
