Gulf Getaway
Visitors come to Panama City Beach for many reasons, but mostly for the attractions, seaside accommodations and fun water sports. I got stuck on a live oak tree. I was exploring St. Andrews State Park, a 1,200-acre peninsular park three miles east of Panama City Beach that contains pristine white beaches with emerald-colored water on […]

Streetcar: The Creole Tomato
Not to be bragging or anything, but I once happened to meet and talk to the Queen of the Creole Tomato Festival. The festival is held annually in the Dutch Alley section of the French Market. Given the demands on her schedule, our conversation was brief, but revealing. More on that later. First there […]

France says store owners […]

Loss and Love
My mom, my best friend, died suddenly May 4, at age 68. Now I’m trying to write her eulogy. The one thing that’s killing me right now is how proud my mom was of my writing. She read everything I wrote from the time I was able to hold a pencil – and she […]

The Meaning of Pride

History
1890
Pictured in this circa 1890 photograph is a splendid view of horse-drawn streetcars turning into St. Charles from Canal Street to begin its six-plus-mile journey through the city’s uptown neighborhoods to Carrollton. For almost 200 years, streetcars were the primary source of public transportation for most New Orleanians. During the late 19th and first […]

Fire up the Grill
Chef Daniel Esses shared a version of this recipe with me years ago when he was the man behind the menu at Three Muses on Frenchmen Street. Today he mans the kitchen at Rimon in Tulane University’s Hillel Center, but these robust, flavorful burgers remain a timeless reflection his style for combining fresh, bright […]

Bowled Over
New Orleans is a melting pot in more ways than one. Like its music, the food often expresses itself through improvisation. Starting from a common point, chefs play with form, rolling in local influences and ingredients to spread the gospel of taste. Union Ramen is a new place in town using the popular Japanese […]

The Eye of the Beholder
Life is getting back to normal. Bad breath matters again. Me and my sister-in-law Gloriosa were sitting at the PJ’s, smiling around at everybody, and talking about how nice it is to be sipping coffee next to people-size people instead of mini-people in Zoom squares. But credit where it’s due – Zoom got us […]
