Loretta’s Authentic Pralines – EP 236
Loretta’s Authentic Pralines
Today’s epsiode is about two of my favorite New Orleans treats, pralines and beignets. One of my favorite places to get both is Loretta’s Authentic Pralines. I’m joined today by the owner of Loretta’s, Mr. Robbie Harrison to discuss pralines, beignets, and his mother’s legacy. We also dive into the upcoming Beignet Fest.

Two Chicks Walking Tours
Long term listeners are familiar with Two Chicks Walking Tours and their small group approach to public walks through the Garden District and the French Quarter.
For those new to the topic they limit group size to half the number of guests of other companies. Frequent tour takers know that size matters.
They’re also experts at curating private tours including a variety of themes such as literature tours through the French Quarter and a Marigny highlights tour option. The team has also traversed the CBD and warehouse with groups in tow discussing the city’s unique development and characteristics. They’ve organized private tours for as little as a single guest to over 200. Please check them out.
