We were always told as kids that we had to eat our dinner before dessert. Well, one of the perks of being an adult is you can flip the script and gobble up dessert first (just don’t tell your mother.) And when you step into Elsie’s Plate & Pie, you’ll be tempted to do just that. This local restaurant has some of the best pies in Louisiana, and they’re worth the splurge! Let’s check it out:
