La Pines Cafe on Robert Boulevard in Slidell has been a North Shore Louisiana breakfast and Cajun food institution since it opened, serving the kind of scratch-made morning food and Cajun plates that earn a suburban New Orleans community its go-to neighborhood cafe. It appeared in Season 11, Episode 6 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Signature Sandwiches,” which aired February 7, 2011. Guy Fieri found a Slidell kitchen doing Cajun breakfast from scratch — boudin, andouille, and the Louisiana morning traditions that the North Shore does as well as anywhere across the lake.

What to Eat
The Boudin — seasoned pork and rice stuffed in a casing, a Louisiana staple that earns its place on every proper Cajun breakfast plate — is the morning item most regulars order first. The Andouille Omelette with smoked andouille sausage, peppers, and cheese is the Cajun twist on the standard breakfast omelette that defines what La Pines does differently. The Biscuits and Gravy with house-made sausage gravy are the Southern comfort option that earns its own following. The Cajun Breakfast Plate with eggs, boudin, and grilled potatoes is the full Louisiana morning spread in one order. The Lunch Sandwiches and Daily Specials extend the Cajun comfort food program through midday. Compare New Orleans area hotel rates on Trivago.
