There are beignets and then there’s ben-YAYs at Ralph’s Place. These iconic Cajun treats have elevated the Louisiana norm. You can choose hefty beignets filled with apple butter, almond butter, breakfast foods, or stick to the traditional crispy powdered delight. This weekday diner is a spin-off of Marilynn’s Place, a popular brunch spot in Shreveport’s historic Highland neighborhood, where the legacy of these beignets began.
