CENTRAL LOUISIANA @thewhodavidges Lea’s Lunchroom, Lecompte “Nack-A-Tish” Explore the oldest permanent settlement in the Louisiana Purchase. Find centuries of history, culture, and landscapes, ready to be explored by foot, car, or boat. OLDEST CITY A Sweet Treat Louisiana gets a lot of press for its zesty Cajun and Creole food – and rightly so. But those in the know won’t miss out on the homemade pies. Some say they ought to change the name of the town of Lecompte to “Lea”compte after Lea’s Lunchroom , where they famously bake nine delicious varieties of pie each and every morning. (Pecan is their bestseller, but try the bumbleberry, too.)
