One of the most charming things about Louisiana

are the people you find along the way.

On this special podcast, you’ll meet a true treasure of

the Northshore, Miss Emma Giron, of

Emma’s Famous Pralines in Slidell, Louisiana.

Miss Emma is a true food hero, who has devoted much

of her life to our most emblematic candy creations, the

praline.

Located in an unassuming strip mall on

Old Spanish Trail, Emma’s Famous Pralines is a compact but cozy space filled with the rich aroma of butter and sugar. Family photos and old newspaper clippings adorn the walls and on the shelves there you’ll find individually wrapped pralines for sale, along with homemade goods, both sweet and savory.

If this podcast has made you hungry for

pralines you can find her at her shop at

705 Spanish Trail in Slidell and she does ship!

She’s on Facebook and you may give her a ring

at 985-641-9151.
