Elmer's Fine Foods
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elmer's Fine Foods, or just Elmer's, is a snack food company based in New Orleans, Louisiana. Started in 1946, Elmer's makes snack products like its popular Chee Wees (a common New Orleanian phrase for any cheese puffs) and Mardi Gras cheese curls sold in various southeast states. The Elmer's mascot is a mouse in a tuxedo and spats. Their plant and offices are located in the Ninth Ward, a part of New Orleans that was heavily flooded by Hurricane Katrina. As of December 26th, 2006, Elmer's offices have been rebuilt, and they are currently taking orders and shipping products.

The name of a local New Orleans cover band The Chee-Weez is based on the Chee Wees snack.
