Orange Lee’s PoBoys & Wings honors family legacy
Stacey Smith opened Orange Lee’s PoBoys & Wings in September 2022 to bring authentic New Orleans cuisine to Houston while honoring her late mother, Orange Lee Smith. “She died on June 1, 2021, and she always dreamed about opening a restaurant,” Smith said. What’s in a name Smith said although she moved to Houston from New Orleans in 2005 during Hurricane Katrina, her mother did not want her to stay in Houston unless it was for a restaurant. After her mother died, Smith decided to nd a site for a restaurant. “So everything we create is with love and passion because that’s my mother,” she said. “She loves to cook and she loves to gather and have a nice time.”
On the menu Orange Lee’s PoBoys & Wings specializes in authentic New Orleans cuisine, including po’boys, seafood gumbo, chicken and sausage gumbo, wings, and Camellia red beans—a New Orleans tradition. Smith said her cooking skills came from years of helping her mother cook for their family. “I do feel like I got the blessings from my mother and my grandmother because I used to always be in the kitchen with them,” Smith said. With ingredients sourced from New Orleans and bread sourced from local distributors to ensure quality, Orange Lee’s PoBoys & Wings provides a full range of New Orleans-style dishes and beverages, such as Big Shot sodas, daiquiris and cocktails.
