FOOD
for survival
New Orleans is one of my favorite cities for food. I really believed that Hurricane Katrina would put an end to the complex palate of taste that defined this beautiful town for me. I had the privilege to visit a mere 2 years after the tropical disaster. I was amazed. You can’t keep New Orleans down then, now or EVER. This next Call wants your perspective on the impact–maybe even culinary. Take a look…
