Not to take anything away from your writing, Charles, but I believe the restaurant you refer to here is called Lecosho, not Lechso...

Lecōsho

Matt Janke is one of the partners of Lecosho, the original Matt of Matt's in the Market, and a city treasure.

oh yes, many times (for many reasons, some best not recollected here) I have used those steps as a refuge, an oasis; they are a treasure...

Lecosho really is very delightful.

I find the open kitchen at Lecosho makes the air in the dining area a bit acrid. not as bad as some restaurants i've been in, but noticeable. my eyes burn.

I'm an oversensitive hardened leftist.

Well-made sazeracs are to be had here.

Charles frustrates me at times, but this is another example of how strong and prolific a writer he can be. Great piece and I love the imagery.
