Noshing For Nothing On National Dessert Day

 

Louisiana’s restaurants served up $8.9 billion in sales last years and foodservice jobs make up 11 percent of employment throughout the state, according to www.restaurant.org.

I’m not sure how much I’ve contributed to the gastronomic kitty, but I do know it was disproportionally spent on desserts.

From king cakes at Manny Randazzo’s, to Baba au Rhums and decadent piping hot chocolate with whipped cream at Angelo Brocato’s Gelateria and Pastricceria, banana cream pie at Emeril’s, creole cream cheese cheesecake at Irene’s, warm bread pudding and hot whiskey sauce at The Gumbo Shop, creamy, dreamy wedding cake and strawberry frozen yogurt swirls at Todd’s Frozen Yogurt to lots and lots of doberge from Gambino’s, Maurice’s and Zuppardo’s, I kicked in my fair share.

For National Dessert Day, on Sunday, Oct. 14, local restaurants and merchants will be “giving back” to people like me, and Offers.com recently compiled a list of lagniappe where you can score some delicious desserts for free:
