Restoring New Orleans Restaurants

[BOBMAN1980]

I've been a chef/cook in this city for 5-years, ten years before that outside of NOLA. Can't say much about this, other that what an aggrandizing piece of work it is. With exception for Leah Chase, the chefs here do an amazing job of playing the sympathy&passion card before the camera--what a way to solicit business--while bilking their workforce to line their pockets behind. Funny & sad to watch, if you know. . .

Great video. My mom was born and raised in NO and my grandfather was head bartender at Commander's Palace back in the '60s. It's great to see this side of things. Life in NO will be much better when the world can see progress like this 'cause it encourages the world to come back. I know it's hard there for many, but it will get better in time.

Anyone know how the condition is like there in New orleans now?

How much has the city changed? and Is it still a fun place?

[DocNOproductions]

Every place you would have visited before the levee failure is up and running... we actually have more restaurants than before! And yes, you can still have fun... and even laugh.

Can't comment on difference before/after Katrina since I first visited a year after the storm, but I tell ya I fell so in love with the place. The people, the architecture of even the most mundane (course no such thing there) building, the food, the festivities - it's one of America's greatest cities, and you damn right it will be rebuilt. Go visit!!!

They aren't donuts. They are beignets.

You are so right but Since it was in an English coments surrounding, I did not want to show my French and be perceived as a snob. Anyhow when I visited N.O. people by my accent knew I was French and young people used to smell their armpits and make a scowl at me like if all French people stink of BO. Not very hospitable. Unfortunately Katrina took her revenge on these mal polis impolis urchins.

This is such a solid doc. I can appreicate the legwork this took to pull off. A very important part of New Orleans shines through here...
