The Wandering Goat, Harahan, LA Report #477

I work with a guy who knows I do a food blog. One night he tells me he’s got a place I just MUST try! Then he tells me it’s this place. I look it up and see it’s a bakery. In another city, a Parish away. And the funny thing is he lives in…

Redfish Pizza, Kenner, LA Report #465
