The Chez Leon, a restaurant featuring specialty menus, continues to be popular among Fermilab employees and users, reports Tita Jensen, the restaurant's congenial chef.

Opened earlier this year and named in honor of Leon Lederman, Fermilab director, the restaurant is in the Users Center, Village. Lunch is served each Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. and costs $4.50. Dinner is served on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7 p.m. for $8.00. The menu changes each day.

Assisting Jensen is Mrs. Aruna Gupta of India. She is an expert in Indian food, said Jensen. Her husband, Dr. Virenda Gupta, is visiting the Theoretical Physics Department here.

"Mrs. Gupta has extensive experience in catering f or home and large outside parties," said Jensen. "While her husband was visiting CERN, she introduced Indian food in a local Geneva restaurant. Her food was a great success."
