James Lasyone has been tinkering with his famous meat pie recipe since the 1950s. Over the years, many have been inspired to add their own version to menus all across the state, but this is where it all began.
Established in 1967, Lasyone's has been a popular pit stop for both locals and tourists in Natchitoches, and for good reason.
