Old Man Winter was still messing with the southern plains, but we decided to get going in a north easterly direction, which worked great because one of my favorite Louisianans, Rob, is from Shreveport and put us right where we needed to be for lunch... Strawn's Eat Shop.
Meatloaf and cornbread were tasty and even though I am a baked fruit pie guy, their strawberry icebox pie was great. Their key is the powdered sugar they sprinkle between the fruit and cream, adding a surprising texture and flavor rather than just fruit goo. The shell is baked first. And they also have chocolate, banana, coconut, and (didn't find out til we were done) butterscotch.
Haven't gone back to confirm but it is possible I just spent more words on a non favorite pie than Yosemite. Oh well.
