#1 reason to live in South Louisiana

My mom, sister & I drove to New Orleans to pick up my sister and her friend this morning.  She's in town visiting us this week.  It's funny, all of our activities this week are planned around where we're going to eat.  She claims the food in DC pales in comparison to the food here..  I tend to believe her.

We went to Elizabeth's Restaurant in New Orleans for brunch.   Everything we tried was BEYOND delicious!

Praline Bacon

Hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend!
