"Fun fact: There are two extraordinary beignets hiding inside the Four Seasons. Go get the ones at Chemin a la Mer for a bougie breakfast—they come stuffed with housemade boudin and have all the best qualities of Natchitoches meat pies. What makes these stand out is the sweet and savory combo: the crumbled, perfectly seasoned sausage blends quite nicely with the maple syrup and powdered sugar. We love eating these while sipping some bubbly, looking out at the Mississippi River, and listening to some Carla Thomas playing softly in the background." - megan braden perry
