Sweet Eats: Sugar And Honey - Louisiana Eats - It's New Orleans

What's sweeter than honey Sugar Or is it the other way around On this week s Louisiana Eats , we try to answer that question as we examine the sweetest things from Louisiana, California and across the world. At over 100 years old, the Domino Sugar Refinery in Arabi, Louisiana is not only one of the country s oldest sugar refineries, it s also the largest in the western hemisphere. Every day, the installation processes millions of pounds of raw sugar, turning it into those white crystals you find at your grocery store. Fred Goodrow, head of environmental and quality control at the refinery, gives Poppy a tour of the facility, and shows her why making sugar is such a sweet job. Then we head to Youngsville, Louisiana, to visit Charles Poirier, owner and operator of Poirier's Pure Cane Syrup. To make his cane syrup, which is highly regarded by chefs throughout the U.S., Charles has revived the process farmers used centuries ago.
