  • Since moving there in 2015, Leslie has been on a mission to try every New Orleans specialty at its restaurant(s) of origin.
  • One of her first words was "coffee," and she's since traveled to Costa Rica to visit the beautiful beans in their natural habitat.
  • She carries her late grandfather's oyster knife in her back pocket, because you never know when a bivalve may need shucking.
