Some of the family opened a Lea's in Monroe a number of years ago. It's on the north side of DeSiard Street a few blocks from the Lea Joyner bridge. They serve a very good breakfast along with the pies.
Don't miss the strawberry pies in season also. Yes you can tell from my shape I have been there a few times(more than a few). Closer to Toledo Bend is a place called Hemphill BBQ on the Texas side. Their home made pies are awesome also. Especially the coconut. (yes, ate a few of those also)

Check out the video of Lea on the Johnny Carson show, real funny.

Back when I was a kid, my dad would stop at Lea's on our way to Ville Platte and pick up a pie for my grandfather. Great place, but I don't remember ever seeing Lea himself. Wish I had though, from that video on Johnny Carson, he sounds like a hoot! Thanks for sharing PPG! Good memories from my childhood are always fun to stir up again.
Thanks for sharing Gene. Excellent, really enjoyed that. I am glad I found that place and hopefully shared my experience there for a few who have never been there. That will be a regular stop going to Toledo bend for me.
