Since 2001, I designed, produced, managed and contributed to mostly food-related websites and blogs for KQED including: KQED.org; KQED Food; Bay Area Bites; Check, Please! Bay Area; Taste This; Celebrity Chefs; seven of Jacques Pepin's TV series websites; and Joanne Weir's Cooking in the City.

But that meant she would have had to find a way to support herself in another city instead of spending the summer earning money that she could use to help pay for school in the fall. The woman passed on the internship, Prasertong says, because \"she realized, 'Oh, it's just for rich people'\" – meaning students whose parents could afford to subsidize them while they worked for free. \"She still went on to be successful but if she'd done that internship, who knows what she'd be doing?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_125395\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/saartj-portrait_custom-a8cf33a3fdd8bc37e01b788a763ed3eb9ccd9f86.jpg\" alt=\"Nigerian chef and writer Tunde Wey conceived his food stall experiment as a way to get people thinking about the racial income and wealth gaps in America and how it affects their own lives.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1394\" class=\"size-full wp-image-125395\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/saartj-portrait_custom-a8cf33a3fdd8bc37e01b788a763ed3eb9ccd9f86.jpg 1000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/saartj-portrait_custom-a8cf33a3fdd8bc37e01b788a763ed3eb9ccd9f86-160x223.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/saartj-portrait_custom-a8cf33a3fdd8bc37e01b788a763ed3eb9ccd9f86-800x1115.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/saartj-portrait_custom-a8cf33a3fdd8bc37e01b788a763ed3eb9ccd9f86-768x1071.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/saartj-portrait_custom-a8cf33a3fdd8bc37e01b788a763ed3eb9ccd9f86-960x1338.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/saartj-portrait_custom-a8cf33a3fdd8bc37e01b788a763ed3eb9ccd9f86-240x335.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/saartj-portrait_custom-a8cf33a3fdd8bc37e01b788a763ed3eb9ccd9f86-375x523.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/03/saartj-portrait_custom-a8cf33a3fdd8bc37e01b788a763ed3eb9ccd9f86-520x725.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nigerian chef and writer Tunde Wey conceived his food stall experiment as a way to get people thinking about the racial income and wealth gaps in America and how it affects their own lives. \u003ccite>(Deji Osinulu)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"One of the things I took away from interviewing people was a greater awareness that people of color have thought about wealth disparity and how it has touched their lives and the kinds of things they've lost out on because they didn't have access to the resources their white friends did,\" says Prasertong. \"Not that [white people] weren't aware, but they never really thought about how ... that might have affected where they are in the world in relation to people of color. They never stopped to think, 'Oh, that car my parents gave me in college allowed me to drive across town to get a good job.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Prasertong points out, \"It's not a strict scientific study.\" One limitation of this experiment is that the customers who came to the stall were all in a higher-than-average income bracket. Prasertong says that may be one reason why the vast majority of customers of color – African-Americans, Latinos and Asians – declined to sign up to receive the redistributed money made from charging whites the higher price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Feb. 28, the day the premise of the experiment was revealed in a\u003cem> Times-Picayune\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"http://www.nola.com/dining/index.ssf/2018/02/new_orleans_race_experiment.html\">article\u003c/a>, 64 people had completed the survey, which included 32 whites, Prasertong says. Twenty-five white customers paid the extra $18, adding up to a pool of $450. Only six people of color had signed up for distributions, which they would split evenly among them, $75 each.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The food stall – called \u003ca href=\"https://www.saartj.com/\">Saartj\u003c/a>, a reference to a 19th-century \u003ca href=\"http://www.sahistory.org.za/people/sara-saartjie-baartman\">black South African woman\u003c/a> infamously paraded as a \"freak show\" in Europe – will be open through Sunday, though the data collection part of the experiment is now over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this experiment focused on racial income disparity in New Orleans, the numbers when it comes to the racial wealth gap in America are even starker. White families accumulate more wealth more quickly than do families comprised of people of color. As NPR's Code Switch team \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2017/02/08/514105689/black-latino-two-parent-families-have-half-the-wealth-of-white-single-parents\">has reported\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In 2013, the median white family held 13 times as much net wealth as the median black family and 10 times as much wealth as the median Latino family, according to the Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are many reasons cited behind this gap, including slavery and institutional and governmental discrimination that excluded people of color from programs that helped Americans build wealth and pass it down through the generations. As Code Switch writes: \"Segregation and redlining by banks made it impossible for many black and Latino families to secure mortgages, for example. The GI Bill, which helped establish an American middle class by helping veterans pay for college and buy homes after World War II, mostly excluded people of color.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One goal of his experiment, says Wey, is to get people to think about how the racial wealth and income gaps affect their own lives, and also how they can as individuals be a force for change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We think of this as a systemic issue, like something that happens outside of ourselves, when in fact the aggregate sum of all of our actions and choices exacerbates or ameliorates the wealth gap,\" says Wey.

How about a $30 lunch?

The listed price for the Nigerian food is $12. But when a white person walks up to order, they are asked to pay $30. Why? \"It's two-and-a half times more than the $12 meal, which reflects the income disparity\" between whites and African-Americans in New Orleans, says Wey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The median income for African-American households in New Orleans fell from $32,332 in 2000 to $27,812 in 2013 in inflation-adjusted dollars, according to The Data Center's \u003ca href=\"https://s3.amazonaws.com/gnocdc/reports/TheDataCenter_TheNewOrleansIndexatTen.pdf\">New Orleans Index at Ten\u003c/a>. Over the same time, median income for white households in the city remained roughly the same, $61,117 to $60,070.

They never stopped to think, 'Oh, that car my parents gave me in college allowed me to drive across town to get a good job.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Prasertong points out, \"It's not a strict scientific study.\" One limitation of this experiment is that the customers who came to the stall were all in a higher-than-average income bracket. Prasertong says that may be one reason why the vast majority of customers of color – African-Americans, Latinos and Asians – declined to sign up to receive the redistributed money made from charging whites the higher price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Feb. 28, the day the premise of the experiment was revealed in a\u003cem> Times-Picayune\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"http://www.nola.com/dining/index.ssf/2018/02/new_orleans_race_experiment.html\">article\u003c/a>, 64 people had completed the survey, which included 32 whites, Prasertong says. Twenty-five white customers paid the extra $18, adding up to a pool of $450. Only six people of color had signed up for distributions, which they would split evenly among them, $75 each.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The food stall – called \u003ca href=\"https://www.saartj.com/\">Saartj\u003c/a>, a reference to a 19th-century \u003ca href=\"http://www.sahistory.org.za/people/sara-saartjie-baartman\">black South African woman\u003c/a> infamously paraded as a \"freak show\" in Europe – will be open through Sunday, though the data collection part of the experiment is now over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this experiment focused on racial income disparity in New Orleans, the numbers when it comes to the racial wealth gap in America are even starker. White families accumulate more wealth more quickly than do families comprised of people of color. As NPR's Code Switch team \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2017/02/08/514105689/black-latino-two-parent-families-have-half-the-wealth-of-white-single-parents\">has reported\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In 2013, the median white family held 13 times as much net wealth as the median black family and 10 times as much wealth as the median Latino family, according to the Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are many reasons cited behind this gap, including slavery and institutional and governmental discrimination that excluded people of color from programs that helped Americans build wealth and pass it down through the generations. As Code Switch writes: \"Segregation and redlining by banks made it impossible for many black and Latino families to secure mortgages, for example. The GI Bill, which helped establish an American middle class by helping veterans pay for college and buy homes after World War II, mostly excluded people of color.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One goal of his experiment, says Wey, is to get people to think about how the racial wealth and income gaps affect their own lives, and also how they can as individuals be a force for change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We think of this as a systemic issue, like something that happens outside of ourselves, when in fact the aggregate sum of all of our actions and choices exacerbates or ameliorates the wealth gap,\" says Wey. That includes actions like \"where we choose to send our children to school, where we choose to buy a home and critically, how we choose to spend our money and where we choose to spend our money. \" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2018 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/125392/food-stall-serves-up-a-social-experiment-charge-white-customers-more-than-minorities","authors":["byline_bayareabites_125392"],"categories":["bayareabites_11028","bayareabites_10028","bayareabites_2035","bayareabites_358"],"tags":["bayareabites_965","bayareabites_11875","bayareabites_16066"],"featImg":"bayareabites_125393","label":"source_bayareabites_125392"},"bayareabites_101939":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_101939","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"101939","score":null,"sort":[1444344699000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"remembering-paul-prudhomme-the-louisiana-chef-who-made-magic","title":"Remembering Paul Prudhomme, The Louisiana Chef Who 'Made Magic'","publishDate":1444344699,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Listen to the Story on All Things Considered:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nhttp://pd.npr.org/anon.npr-mp3/npr/atc/2015/10/20151008_atc_paul_prudhomme_cajun_spice_magician_and_chef_dies_.mp3\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Man, in New Orleans we really are fortunate — we got some of the best things in the world,\" Chef Paul Prudhomme once said. \"And one of those things is the mufaletta sandwich.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And one of the best things about New Orleans was Prudhomme himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was known for introducing blackened redfish to the rest of us, for his cooking demos and for his line of magic spices.

So when Paul got his first big break and worked at Commander's Palace [a restaurant in New Orleans], he began the farm to table movement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What's more, says Tooker, by \"eating local, seasonal, fresh, he revolutionized the entire American food scene, not just Creole and Cajun.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prudhomme was actually the first American chef hired at Commander's Palace, says Tooker. \"Before that time, as in much of the U.S., everybody thought that you had to go to France to get a chef if you were going to have a fine-dining establishment. And he changed all that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the grocery aisle, Prudhomme was perhaps best known for his Magic Spice Blend, which contains salt, paprika, white pepper, onion powder, garlic power, black pepper, thyme and oregano. \"It was really, really unique and he literally kept it in his pocket,\" says Tooker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The menu dish Prudhomme was most famous for is blackened redfish. \"He created it almost on a whim, in a black iron skillet,\" she says. \"He passed it out into a restaurant and everybody loved the redfish so much that quickly a fish that had kind of been a trash fish it became so sought after that he was literally responsible through that dish for that entire species almost becoming extinct.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what Tooker says she will remember most about Prudhomme is \"his enormous generosity of spirit. Paul was a man who could never tell you no. His heart was always open, and a smile was always on his face.

Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover the pot(s) and continue boiling, just until the mirlitons are fork tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the heat and, using a slotted spoon, immediately transfer the mirlitons to a colander to drain and cool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once cool enough to handle, place the mirlitons on a cutting board or other flat surface. Cut them in half lengthwise. With a paring knife, shallowly trim away any spiny or blemished spots from the skin and tough pulp from the end nearest to the seed. Remove and discard the seed and use a small spoon to carefully remove the pulp from the inside of each half, leaving a 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick shell. Drain the mirliton pulp in a colander, lightly squeezing it to release excess moisture, then chop the pulp. Set aside the pulp and shells.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preheat the oven to 350°F.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make the stuffing: Season the shrimp with the Creole seasoning and cayenne, mixing well. Set aside. In a heavy 5-quart saucepan or large Dutch oven over low heat, melt the 1/2 cup of butter. Add the onions and cook until they start to soften, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the celery, bell pepper, parsley, green onions and garlic, and cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add the reserved mirliton pulp and cook for 6 minutes. Put 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs into a small bowl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once the mirliton pulp mixture has cooked for 6 minutes, add 2 tablespoons of the reserved bread crumbs, mixing thoroughly, then continue adding 2 tablespoons at a time until you have added all of them, stirring thoroughly between additions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cook the mixture over low heat, until it is noticeably dryer but still moist, about 3 minutes, stirring as needed. Next, add the seasoned shrimp, salt, and pepper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Continue cooking until the shrimp turn pink, about 1 minute more, stirring almost constantly. Remove from the heat and stir in the egg, blending well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mound the stuffing in the 16 mirliton shells, using it all. Place the stuffed shells in a baking pan, such as a 12-by-17-inch baking pan, that will hold the shells in a single layer touching each other lightly to help support their shapes as they cook. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon more bread crumbs evenly over the top of each stuffed shell and center a scant 1 teaspoon butter on the top of each. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the hot oven for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the tops are browned, about 1 hour more. Serve at once.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Note: To make ahead, prepare through the point of stuffing up to 1 day in advance. Cover the stuffed mirlitons tightly and refrigerate.

Remove from the heat and, using a slotted spoon, immediately transfer the mirlitons to a colander to drain and cool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once cool enough to handle, place the mirlitons on a cutting board or other flat surface. Cut them in half lengthwise. With a paring knife, shallowly trim away any spiny or blemished spots from the skin and tough pulp from the end nearest to the seed. Remove and discard the seed and use a small spoon to carefully remove the pulp from the inside of each half, leaving a 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick shell. Drain the mirliton pulp in a colander, lightly squeezing it to release excess moisture, then chop the pulp. Set aside the pulp and shells.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preheat the oven to 350°F.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make the stuffing: Season the shrimp with the Creole seasoning and cayenne, mixing well. Set aside. In a heavy 5-quart saucepan or large Dutch oven over low heat, melt the 1/2 cup of butter. Add the onions and cook until they start to soften, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the celery, bell pepper, parsley, green onions and garlic, and cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add the reserved mirliton pulp and cook for 6 minutes. Put 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs into a small bowl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once the mirliton pulp mixture has cooked for 6 minutes, add 2 tablespoons of the reserved bread crumbs, mixing thoroughly, then continue adding 2 tablespoons at a time until you have added all of them, stirring thoroughly between additions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cook the mixture over low heat, until it is noticeably dryer but still moist, about 3 minutes, stirring as needed. Next, add the seasoned shrimp, salt, and pepper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Continue cooking until the shrimp turn pink, about 1 minute more, stirring almost constantly. Remove from the heat and stir in the egg, blending well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mound the stuffing in the 16 mirliton shells, using it all. Place the stuffed shells in a baking pan, such as a 12-by-17-inch baking pan, that will hold the shells in a single layer touching each other lightly to help support their shapes as they cook. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon more bread crumbs evenly over the top of each stuffed shell and center a scant 1 teaspoon butter on the top of each. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the hot oven for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the tops are browned, about 1 hour more.

Granted, San Francisco is where my heart is, but New Orleans speaks to me. New Orleanians seem to just eat life up with gusto. And I love that they have managed to preserve a culinary history and food culture that is so distinctly their own. I jump at every chance I get to visit NOLA, and with Mardi Gras festivities in full swing, this is a prime time to be in town. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are just too many good things to eat and not enough hours in the day to digest the story of my life.

They were huge -- the size of chicken drummettes! Our \u003cstrong>Crispy Frog Legs\u003c/strong> on steroids were served over a baby spinach salad with pickled red onions and apple-bacon-sherry vinaigrette. If you've never tasted frog legs before, what you've heard is true: tastes like chicken. Kind of. The texture is a bit different, like a cross between chicken meat and fish meat. These legs were succulent, with a thin, crispy crust. The freshness of the greens and tang of the dressing were great complements. \u003ca href=\"http://www.cafedegas.com/\">Café Degas\u003c/a> is a little off the beaten path so you will likely find more locals than tourists enjoying the tree-house charm of this spot. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/2011_05_stanley_new_orleans-11.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/2011_05_stanley_new_orleans-11.jpg\" alt=\"Fried Oyster Eggs Benedict (Stanley, New Orleans)\" title=\"Fried Oyster Eggs Benedict (Stanley, New Orleans)\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39081\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Fried Oyster Eggs Benedict (Stanley, New Orleans)\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Eggs Stanley\u003c/strong> is pretty much my idea of a perfect brunch dish.

The restaurant is named after Lake Borgne, the saltwater estuary that surrounds eastern Louisiana and flows into the Gulf of Mexico. Besh and his executive chef \u003cstrong>Brian Landry\u003c/strong> grew up fishing on Lake Borgne, and it is the inspiration behind the seafood-driven menu. As you can see, we feasted on an embarrassing amount of food. The dish I kept going back to was the Crabmeat Croquetas (those little fried balls in the lower center of the pic, see them?). In honesty, I've never met a croqueta/croquette/kroket I didn't like. There are many versions around the world, and they are all usually deep fried, creamy, and delicious. Borgne's version was no exception. Theirs starts with a blonde roux that develops into a rich bechamel seasoned with spices. The sauce is then mounted with cream cheese and parmesan, with lumps of blue crab claw meat added in. After this cools, the croquetas are formed and rolled in panko, then deep-fried for a homerun on the satisfaction scale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/mothers-new-orleans-stephanie-hua-lick-my-spoon-10.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/mothers-new-orleans-stephanie-hua-lick-my-spoon-10.jpg\" alt=\"Oyster Po’ Boy (Mother’s, New Orleans)\" title=\"Oyster Po’ Boy (Mother’s, New Orleans)\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39086\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Oyster Po'Boy (Mother's, New Orleans)\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can't visit New Orleans without gettin' down with a \u003ca href=\"http://lickmyspoon.com/travel/parkway-po-boys-new-orleans/\">po'boy\u003c/a>.

They were huge -- the size of chicken drummettes! Our \u003cstrong>Crispy Frog Legs\u003c/strong> on steroids were served over a baby spinach salad with pickled red onions and apple-bacon-sherry vinaigrette. If you've never tasted frog legs before, what you've heard is true: tastes like chicken. Kind of. The texture is a bit different, like a cross between chicken meat and fish meat. These legs were succulent, with a thin, crispy crust. The freshness of the greens and tang of the dressing were great complements. \u003ca href=\"http://www.cafedegas.com/\">Café Degas\u003c/a> is a little off the beaten path so you will likely find more locals than tourists enjoying the tree-house charm of this spot. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/2011_05_stanley_new_orleans-11.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/2011_05_stanley_new_orleans-11.jpg\" alt=\"Fried Oyster Eggs Benedict (Stanley, New Orleans)\" title=\"Fried Oyster Eggs Benedict (Stanley, New Orleans)\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39081\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Fried Oyster Eggs Benedict (Stanley, New Orleans)\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Eggs Stanley\u003c/strong> is pretty much my idea of a perfect brunch dish. It is essentially Eggs Benedict (perfectly poached eggs, Canadian bacon, Creole hollandaise on a toasted English muffin) jazzed up with big, fat, cornmeal-crusted, fried oysters scattered on top. Decadent and full of happy calories, this is my preferred way to start the day. \u003ca href=\"http://stanleyrestaurant.com/\">Stanley\u003c/a> is the kind of spot I would go to multiple times in a trip because everything on the menu looks amazing.

The restaurant is named after Lake Borgne, the saltwater estuary that surrounds eastern Louisiana and flows into the Gulf of Mexico. Besh and his executive chef \u003cstrong>Brian Landry\u003c/strong> grew up fishing on Lake Borgne, and it is the inspiration behind the seafood-driven menu. As you can see, we feasted on an embarrassing amount of food. The dish I kept going back to was the Crabmeat Croquetas (those little fried balls in the lower center of the pic, see them?). In honesty, I've never met a croqueta/croquette/kroket I didn't like. There are many versions around the world, and they are all usually deep fried, creamy, and delicious. Borgne's version was no exception. Theirs starts with a blonde roux that develops into a rich bechamel seasoned with spices. The sauce is then mounted with cream cheese and parmesan, with lumps of blue crab claw meat added in. After this cools, the croquetas are formed and rolled in panko, then deep-fried for a homerun on the satisfaction scale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/mothers-new-orleans-stephanie-hua-lick-my-spoon-10.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/mothers-new-orleans-stephanie-hua-lick-my-spoon-10.jpg\" alt=\"Oyster Po’ Boy (Mother’s, New Orleans)\" title=\"Oyster Po’ Boy (Mother’s, New Orleans)\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39086\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Oyster Po'Boy (Mother's, New Orleans)\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can't visit New Orleans without gettin' down with a \u003ca href=\"http://lickmyspoon.com/travel/parkway-po-boys-new-orleans/\">po'boy\u003c/a>.

Mother's is well known for their all-day breakfast (they serve a quarter of a million biscuits per year) and their Famous Ferdi Po'Boy made with baked ham, roast beef, debris, and gravy. But, if you ask me, the \u003cstrong>Oyster Po'Boy\u003c/strong> is where it's at. It doesn't get soggy like the Ferdi can get, and it is chock full of juicy, plump, golden-fried oysters.

Featuring fat oysters, beer-battered in local \u003ca href=\"http://www.abita.com/\">Abita\u003c/a> brew, the tacos are loaded up with an Asian slaw of cabbage, carrots, cucumber, and onion dressed in olive oil and rice wine vinegar, Cotija cheese, sesame guacamole, tomato-ginger salsa, and a drizzle of Sriracha-spiked aioli. Despite the fried element, the fresh crunch of the slaw and bright flavors gave this dish a light feel to it. After many meals featuring the same New Orleans-style flavors, this Asian/Mex fusion was a welcome change of pace. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/brennans-restaurant-new-orleans-stephanie-hua-lick-my-spoon-31.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/02/brennans-restaurant-new-orleans-stephanie-hua-lick-my-spoon-31.jpg\" alt=\"Shrimp Sardou (Brennan's, New Orleans)\" title=\"Shrimp Sardou (Brennan's, New Orleans)\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39084\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Shrimp Sardou (Brennan's, New Orleans)\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brunch \u003ca href=\"http://www.brennansneworleans.com/\">Brennan's\u003c/a> is an elegant affair with bow-tied waiters setting things aflame tableside, and dining rooms dripping with old-NOLA style. Brunch at Brennan's is also sure to be a tasty affair, especially if you opt for the \u003cstrong>Shrimp Sardou\u003c/strong>, a generous portion of spicy fried shrimp served over sliced artichoke bottoms and creamed spinach. A blanket of Hollandaise sauce completes the dish. Light as a feather? Not so much. But light isn't the name of the game here.

Admittedly, it was a little disorientating for my taste.

Photo by Wendy Goodfriend\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday: whatever you call it, food and religion come together today into one last pre-Lenten blowout. Tomorrow, Ash Wednesday, marks the beginning of Lent, the 40-day countdown to Easter that was, traditionally, a time of great austerity at table. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Patience Gray points out in her book \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/190301820X/kqedorg-20\">Honey from a Weed\u003c/a>, about the culinary and cultural traditions she experienced throughout the Mediterranean, the Church's command of six weeks of spare diet--lentils and beans instead of meat, nothing rich or fried or sweet--was as much practical as spiritual. Depending on the cycle of the lunar calendar, Lent stretches across the cusp of late winter and early spring, the time when the larder, and the fields, would be at their most bare. Only dried beans from last autumn's harvest would still be on hand, and wild greens would be sprouting on the hillsides, encouraged by winter's rains and the slowly lengthening days giving a few minutes' more light before sunset each night. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the sheep, goats, or cows would still be skinny from winter fodder, not yet producing milk, preserving their strength for giving birth to their lambs, kids, and calves later in the spring. The indulgences of Christmas and the New Year would be long past, and on a small subsistence farm, in a wind-scoured, stony mountain village, there would be little to harvest or sell at this season. And so there, conveniently, is the command for privation, making the stark meals of slow-cooked beans and boiled weeds into a commendable form of spiritual discipline. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nothing succeeds like contrast, however, and so before the cold water and hard cheese of Lent came the glorious blowout of Carnival, a celebration of \u003cem>carne\u003c/em>, meat, and all the accompanying carnal pleasures of the flesh. The pantry was stripped of whatever remaining delights it might still hold, like lard, for frying sweet dumplings, doughnuts, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2011/03/05/vegan-beignets-for-mardi-gras/\">beignets\u003c/a>, or pancakes; sugar for sweets like \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2010/01/22/king-friday-three-kings-cake/\">King Cake\u003c/a>; and alcohol, stirring into any number of mixed punches. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Misrule was the rule of the day; masks hid everyday identities and lords swapped places with laborers. Parades, games, races, and balls turned the days before Lent into a dizzying holiday, culminating in one last day of feasting and festivity. In Louisiana, the traditions had the same French and Spanish Catholic and Caribbean roots, twisted through Creole and Cajun traditions, but the city and the country celebrated very differently. Costumes could be multi-thousand dollar gowns dripping with crystal beading, huge feathered regalias or old flour sacks dyed and fringed. You might parade into town after an all-day horseback ride or pull up in a stretch limo. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, outside of the South, if Mardi Gras is celebrated at all, it's mostly seen as an excuse to go out drinking on a Tuesday night, at bars blasting Clifton Chenier from speakers draped in strings of beads and festooned in fleur-de-lys. While there are venerable British, Irish, German, and Scandinavian pre-Lenten traditions (like the English Shrove Tuesday pancake races, run by women flipping pancakes in skillets), New Orleans' style is typically the one on display. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But who wouldn't enjoy an excuse to dig into crawfish etouffee, shrimp remoulade, gumbo or jambalaya?

Photo by Wendy Goodfriend\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday: whatever you call it, food and religion come together today into one last pre-Lenten blowout. Tomorrow, Ash Wednesday, marks the beginning of Lent, the 40-day countdown to Easter that was, traditionally, a time of great austerity at table. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Patience Gray points out in her book \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/190301820X/kqedorg-20\">Honey from a Weed\u003c/a>, about the culinary and cultural traditions she experienced throughout the Mediterranean, the Church's command of six weeks of spare diet--lentils and beans instead of meat, nothing rich or fried or sweet--was as much practical as spiritual. Depending on the cycle of the lunar calendar, Lent stretches across the cusp of late winter and early spring, the time when the larder, and the fields, would be at their most bare. Only dried beans from last autumn's harvest would still be on hand, and wild greens would be sprouting on the hillsides, encouraged by winter's rains and the slowly lengthening days giving a few minutes' more light before sunset each night. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the sheep, goats, or cows would still be skinny from winter fodder, not yet producing milk, preserving their strength for giving birth to their lambs, kids, and calves later in the spring. The indulgences of Christmas and the New Year would be long past, and on a small subsistence farm, in a wind-scoured, stony mountain village, there would be little to harvest or sell at this season. And so there, conveniently, is the command for privation, making the stark meals of slow-cooked beans and boiled weeds into a commendable form of spiritual discipline. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nothing succeeds like contrast, however, and so before the cold water and hard cheese of Lent came the glorious blowout of Carnival, a celebration of \u003cem>carne\u003c/em>, meat, and all the accompanying carnal pleasures of the flesh. The pantry was stripped of whatever remaining delights it might still hold, like lard, for frying sweet dumplings, doughnuts, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2011/03/05/vegan-beignets-for-mardi-gras/\">beignets\u003c/a>, or pancakes; sugar for sweets like \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2010/01/22/king-friday-three-kings-cake/\">King Cake\u003c/a>; and alcohol, stirring into any number of mixed punches. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Misrule was the rule of the day; masks hid everyday identities and lords swapped places with laborers. Parades, games, races, and balls turned the days before Lent into a dizzying holiday, culminating in one last day of feasting and festivity. In Louisiana, the traditions had the same French and Spanish Catholic and Caribbean roots, twisted through Creole and Cajun traditions, but the city and the country celebrated very differently. Costumes could be multi-thousand dollar gowns dripping with crystal beading, huge feathered regalias or old flour sacks dyed and fringed. You might parade into town after an all-day horseback ride or pull up in a stretch limo. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, outside of the South, if Mardi Gras is celebrated at all, it's mostly seen as an excuse to go out drinking on a Tuesday night, at bars blasting Clifton Chenier from speakers draped in strings of beads and festooned in fleur-de-lys. While there are venerable British, Irish, German, and Scandinavian pre-Lenten traditions (like the English Shrove Tuesday pancake races, run by women flipping pancakes in skillets), New Orleans' style is typically the one on display. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But who wouldn't enjoy an excuse to dig into crawfish etouffee, shrimp remoulade, gumbo or jambalaya?
