The old Louisiana Express has reopened on the other side of Bethesda.

We were so disappointed when the old LE closed without warning. It was a favorite brunch spot. Stumbled onto the new place, not expecting the same menu or staff - what a treat, on both scores! With the upgraded dining room, we can now bring out of town guests. Love the po' boys and beignets. Well done Jose!
If there were a 0 rating, I'd give it. Had the "jambalaya that didn't resemble the photo of the dish in the Post article. Mine had no taste...white rice covered with a little bit of something red. The shrimp were tiny, tasteless and may have come from cans.
I too was extremely upset when the Express closed down. Fortunately the new Kitchen has virtually identical food but in a nicer atmosphere and better parking. I dream of the seafood gumbo, the buscuits are great and the desserts are must haves. My favorite restaurant.
I was devastated when the Express closed its doors, so you can imagine how elated I was when the Kitchen opened with all of my favorites from the old place. For breakfast, Julia's review is spot on, but if you're in the mood for a lot of food, don't ignore the Po' Man's Breakfast: easily the best breakfast sandwich I've had. Anywhere. The Louisiana hamburger comes with a delicious creole mustard and remoualde. And the roux in the etouffe is so, so tasty. And Carlos, by the way, is THE MAN.
So happy they found a new home. Have a hard time not ordering the rotisserie chicken--it's wonderful ever time!
