I like the place and it is one of our standard cheap eats places or just when we feel like creole or an etouffe (sp?) - these come in veg, chicken and andoule sausage. The y also do gumbo, roas chichen, seafood and blackened specials (crawfish boils sometimes) various sandwitches (I like the mufuleta (sp?). Various desserts - I like the bread pudding with butter rum (?) sauce - and pralines for total sugar out. At the risk of flames I was in New Orleans last fall (Mr. Bs , Mothers, Acmes, Palm Court some of the stops) I purposely stoped by LEE the following week adn thought IMHO it stacke up well. But I am not a NO native - just too infrequent visitor. The beignes are good too as stated - and the request amount of Powdered Sugar.b Another poster wanted location - go to Bethesda and get on Arlington Blvd. Turn Westward at EuroMotors (away from the Giant towards Betehsda Crab House) both are abt 1 short block down - LE on the right (BCH further on left). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Joel Lowy The usual disclaimers. lowy@vax.afrri.usuhs.mil -----------------------------------------------------------------------
