Welcome back to another issue of The Denham Springs Local.
We’re up to over 100 subscribers now in just 3 weeks! Thank you so much for coming along for the ride!
I’m starting a new section this week called “Shoutout Of The Week” where I give a simple shoutout to a local person, business, or event that caught my eye or stood out to me. Let me know if you like it and I’ll keep it up. Let me know if you hate it and I’ll stop haha.
So let’s get started…
SHOUTOUT OF THE WEEK
The Dip at LaShish
If you didn’t know… LaShish is back! I mean it’s been at least a few months, maybe longer. But honestly I never tried it until a couple months ago. And it’s delicious! Nicest owner ever too.
But what really stood out to me is the creamy dip they bring out when they seat you. No idea what it is other than creamy, fluffy, deliciousness!
Unfortunately I can’t find a picture of it online and I didn’t take a pic last time I was there. But go check it out! And let them know The Denham Springs Local sent ya (even though they won’t even know what that means… yet!)
