Happy #NOLA Friday: Yak Edition
Although this movie wasn’t filmed here or set here, New Orleans is mentioned in Sally Tomato’s weather report which is good enough to qualify it for my loosely based Happy #NOLA Friday feature. This party could most definitely have been in New Orleans just last night – we do love to costume and drink, don’t we? This is one of my favorite scenes in a movie, ever, and if it doesn’t make you laugh, well, “I’m gonna march you over to the zoo and feed you to the yak!” (Or did she say “Yat”? hmmmmm)

Nearly four years ago, a young boy by the name of Jeremy Galmon was shot and killed after a second line had passed by, a casualty of people using bullets to settle arguments. The fundraising for Jeremy’s family was held only a few blocks from my home, sponsored by members of the community and by […]

It appears no day – not even Mother’s Day – is exempt from the senseless violent crime that continues to plague our city. Sunday afternoon shots were fired into the crowd at the annual Mother’s Day Second Line in the Seventh Ward leaving 19 people, including two 10 year olds, wounded and bleeding. It’s been […]
Top Chef is coming!
Finally!!! After 11 seasons, Top Chef is coming to New Orleans!!!
I for one, can’t wait to see where they film and the challenges they devise to run the chefs through the gauntlet. It promises to be a good season. I hope they plan accordingly and avoid the summer heat and the August-September hurricane watch.
