Try Elsie's Plate & Pie During Restaurant Week, Guy Fieri Approved
Elsie’s Plate & Pie earned a stamp of approval from Guy Fieri earlier this year on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives, and now it’s Baton Rouge’s turn to experience all they have to offer.
Fieri enjoyed house specialties like the Crawfish Hand Pie and the Chicken Pot Pie, praising the Mid-City favorite’s food as “next-level comfort.” If you haven’t had the chance to dig into their delicious menu, this week is the perfect opportunity.

"So if you ever find yourself in Baton Rouge, don’t just pass through. Stop in. Take a seat. Savor every bite. Because at Elsie’s, you’re not just a guest—you’re family." -- Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives
