If you are a foodie, this excellent book should be in your collection. Tom Fitzmorris, a long-time New Orleans food writer, gourmet cook, and fabulous raconteur, has produced a very readable, entertaining treatise on New Orleans' restaurants and culinary traditions. Though not a cookbook per se, the book has enough classic New Orleans recipes in it to make it worth purchasing, but what really shines is his narrative about the landmark restaurants and restaurant-owning families in America's most unique dining mecca.
Great book, touching story of the epic city Pre, during and post Katrina. Makes you want to jump on a plane and go to NOLA to eat the fabulous food.
Bought it on amazon as soon as I heard it was out. I read it immediately and loved it!It's got enough of the author in it to have a voice and a personality, but is not just "all about him" and what he went through. He really pulls off the complicated task of bringing together the "food stories" of everyone in post-Katrina New Orleans, touching on the restaurants, the customers, the chefs, the servers, and yes, the writers and broadcasters who have New Orleans food as their center. I hope this book sees reviews and sales outside New Orleans; it's a different kind of history of how Katrina affected the Crescent City, and a good one.When (not if) it goes into a second edition, they should add a companion CD of New Orleans "food songs." There are plenty to choose from!
This book isn't mainly about food or great restaurants, although it has plenty about both (including recipes), but about a culture, distinct in the United States, or anywhere else. Most books about New Orleans suffer from one of two flaws. The author either isn't close enough to the culture to understand it, or is too close to communicate its ethos to outsiders. Tom Fitzmorris definitely falls into the category of insider (he claims to have been born on Mardi Gras Day) and has written and talked about the city, one way or the other, all his adult life. I lived in New Orleans for 26 years (before Katrina forced me out), but I don't claim to understand it. I'm a Midwestern boy who, but for a stint in Germany, had never lived outside of the region. New Orleans was culture shock, and for the first 15 years I lived there, I hated every day of it. I railed against its incompetence, its corruption, its miserable and self-satisfied ignorance and parochialism, and -- most of all -- its frivolity. One day I woke up absolutely in love with the place and felt blest to live there. I have no idea how it happened, since all its flaws plainly remained. Eight years after the storm, I "miss it both night and day."Katrina and federal malfeasance erased 80% of one of the world's great places, as important to .U.S. history as Boston or Philadelphia. The disaster from Superstorm Sandy (a mere category 1) was much smaller, since Katrina raked the eastern Gulf Coast. In New Orleans alone, 1000 people died, and a huge diaspora spread to both coasts. From where I sat, it seemed to me the city was finished, especially since Congressional barbarians, on both sides of the aisle, as well as the barbarians who elected them, were more than willing to let New Orleans die. Why it did not had little to do with the government response. Rather, the people who lived there, most of whom now resided nowhere near the place decided to throw the dice, some with everything they had, and rebuild.Fitzmorris tells that very strange story -- strange, because food and those frivolous enough to think it important helped make the city's resurrection happen. I doubt many people -- especially the ones who hadn't a clue about New Orleans -- would believe it, but nevertheless it happened. The love residents had for their city was more than mere boosterism. It was necessary to them. They couldn't conceive of their families, friends, and lives anywhere else -- something unusual in a country historically where people (like me) move for jobs, a new start, or just because they feel itchy. New Orleanians seldom leave and, when they do, they mostly come back, even after years of feeling unsettled in other places. Fitzmorris goes a long way to explaining this.In short, the disaster hit, and in its aftermath, people came back. Chefs found their scattered staff and reopened their places on a limited basis. This in itself was amazing, but their customers complained. Where were the Oysters Rockefeller, the Chicken Clemenceau, the Veal Oscar, or the soufflé potatoes? New Orleanians didn't want a limited Antoine's. They wanted the Antoine's they always knew. This desire helped to drive the city's recovery. Just before Katrina, 809 restaurants were open in New Orleans -- a very high number, if we consider the city's relatively small size. As in any great food town, locals like to go out to eat. A year after the hurricane, there were 680; three years after, 955, most of them, at least, doing business. Knowing that the food was there, many decided to return and to build and rebuild. You may think this ditzy, but I recently met an ex-New Orleanian who returned after almost a decade because he missed a decent red gravy. Though I myself know I will never move back to the city, there are times when I really, really want a bowl of the seafood gumbo as made at Liuzza's by the Track. I still go back to the city at least once a year, although not just to eat. The food is lagniappe (you should pardon the expression). I go back because, of all the places I've lived, I consider the town where I was born and grew up and New Orleans my home towns -- cities that not only made me what I am but provided the deepest attachments to place and people. Other towns have confirmed, not changed me. I live now in Austin, Texas, but I doubt I will ever become an Austinite. I don't dream about it.It's the strength of that attachment Fitzmorris writes about. Along the way, he not only gives you his education in New Orleans's culinary ways, wonderful accounts of restaurants and restaurateurs, but recipes of bedrock New Orleans dishes. He understands fully that many, including some of his own family, don't get it, and this has pushed him to high levels of exposition, argument, and clarity. Fitzmorris also writes beautifully -- a prose that, like a terrific crawfish etoufee, makes you want to keep at it until you finish it.My wife and I first returned to New Orleans in October 2005 after dark to assess the damage to our home and to try to recover as much as we could. Not one light in the city was visible from the interstate -- we looked into a horrible and eerie void -- until we crossed from Orleans into Jefferson Parish. On our way to stay with friends in Jefferson, we saw -- unbelievably -- that some people had strung outdoor Hallowe'en lights over their porches, windows, roofs, and trees, and we laughed in relief. The city was in a bad way, but not out. If you want to understand New Orleans, this book is one of the best places to start.
This book captures New Orleans history through restaurant and home dishes. Recipes included! This is a delightful recap of New Orleans's evolvement since the 1970's. This guy knows his food and his writing style is creative. Learn lots!
Love this book
Very interesting concept for a book !!!! I love anything by Tom Fitzmorris. Makes for a great holiday gift this year.
the book has its good points. Having lived in New Orleans I was able to see what happened to some of my favorite places. But he left a lot out of the book and spent too much time telling me what his family did.
