Therese LaPelle, Owner-Manager, Lil G's Kajun Restaurant
Jefferson Parish, Louisiana
An eloquent, soft-spoken woman, Therese explained to us how her
business is struggling to survive. She is devastated by lives that were lost
on the oil rig and longs for the day when the livelihood of their community -- fishing & shrimping -- can [safely] return to Louisiana.
With quality local seafood hard to come by, she is forced to buy
seafood from brokers that are different from what she is used to. We found Therese's restaurant off the side of the main highway leading to Venice, Louisiana - one of the centers of the clean up efforts.
