Super girl group Neko Case, k.d. lang and Laura Veirs come to the Joy Theater.

BY JOHN WIRT |

@JOHNWIRT1

CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG, CREAM, BLIND FAITH, BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE, MONSTERS OF FOLK AND THE TRAVELING WILBURYS are

all supergroups by virtue of their members being stars before the new bands formed.

Case/lang/Veirs deserves the supergroup title. The trio features Neko Case, indie-noir solo star and member of the mostly Canadian music collective The New Pornographers; k.d. lang, the Canadian chanteuse who commands one of music’s most impressive voices; and Laura Veirs, a Portland, Oregonbased singer-songwriter who is the least known but stands her ground among her formidable bandmates.

Case, lang and Veirs are following the June 17 release of their self-titled album debut with a tour, which comes to The Joy Theater on July 31.

The album contains 14 original songs, none of them clunkers.

“We worked really hard,” Case

told Gambit. “Sometimes, when you make music, you’re so close to it that you don’t know how musical it really sounds. The only way to find out is when people hear it. So it’s super nice to hear that people like it.”

Case’s loud and clear tones ring through on the throbbing, psychedelic “Delirium” and swooping melody in “Behind the Armory.” Lang sings lead for the lush torch songs “Honey and Smoke” and “1000 Miles Away.”

Veirs’ complementary work may sway Case and lang fans her way. Sparingly placed, chiming, cooing backup vocals decorate the songs throughout the nicely detailed, never overdone production.

It wouldn’t be a surprise if any one of these singers made another beautiful solo album. The surprise is that they’ve made one together.

Seeds for the alliance sprouted when Case met lang in Portland.

Case was recording her 2013 album

JULY 31 CASE/LANG/VEIRS 9 P.M. SUNDAY THE JOY THEATER, 1200 CANAL ST., (504) 528-9569; WWW.THEJOYTHEATER.COM

— The Worse Things Get, the Harder I Fight, the Harder I Fight, the More I Love You — with Veir’s husband, indemand producer Tucker Martine (The Decemberists, My Morning Jacket, Modest Mouse).

“I was getting to know Laura Veirs because I was hanging out in Portland so much,” Case says. “I’d sang on her Warp and Weft record. k.d. had just moved to Portland. She was really liking it, but she didn’t know a lot of people in town. I suggested she get together with Tucker and Laura. They’re really nice people and Tucker had a great studio.

So they started hanging out.”

Lang later sent an out-of-the-blue invitation via email to Case and Veirs.

“I think we should make a record together,” the message read.

“Laura and I answered the email before we finished reading it,” Case says. “It was like, ‘Yes! Yes, yes, yes! Yes, we want to do that.’ There was no way we weren’t gonna say, ‘Yes.’” PAGE 36

I-10 News on the move 1. BECK, NEWSOM ADDED

TO CROWDED SEPTEMBER CONCERT CALENDAR

Singer-songwriters Beck and Joanna Newsom (pictured) bring their tours to New Orleans this fall, adding to a heavy September schedule that includes Alabama Shakes, James Blake, Beyonce, Dinosaur Jr., Dixie Chicks, Drake, Gary Clark Jr., Kraftwerk, Sturgill Simpson and other high-profile acts.

Beck begins his U.S. tour at the Saenger Theatre Sept. 15 in advance of an album release in October.

Heavy rains forced organizers to cancel his headlining set at the 2016 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

Newsom performs Friday, Sept.

9 at the Civic Theatre amid a short, rare string of Southern dates following 2015’s acclaimed Divers. Her last performance in New Orleans was at Tipitina’s in 2010 on the final heels of Have One on Me.

— Baton Rouge Mayor Kip Holden to Buzzfeed, dismissing Baton Rouge residents’ complaints that the Baton Rouge Police Department has systematically profiled and performed arbitrary searches on African-American residents. Buzzfeed cited a 2014 database of arrest statistics that showed 284 arrests per 1,000 black citizens versus 105 per 1,000 white citizens.

3. NBA All-Star

Game heading to New Orleans?

New Orleans could host the 2017 NBA All-Star game following the league’s objections to LGBT discrimination laws in North Carolina. The game had been scheduled to be played in Charlotte next February.

North Carolina’s House Bill 2 requires transgender people to use public restrooms corresponding to the sex

on their birth certificates, and it omits and limits LGBT protections from statewide anti-discrimination laws, including workplace discrimination. New Orleans hosted All-Star games in 2008 and 2014. The 2017 game falls Feb. 19, during the first weekend of major Carnival parades and nine days before Fat Tuesday.

4. Landrieu asking for property tax hike for firefighters, again

New Orleans voters will go to the polls in December to take another crack at Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s pitch for a tax hike to pay a multimillion-dollar settlement with New Orleans firefighters. The New Orleans City Council filed a motion July 21 to put the 2.5-mill property tax hike to a vote on the Dec. 10 ballot. The city estimates the measure will bring in nearly $9 million annually to fund a $75 million settlement reached between the firefighters union and City Hall after a decadeslong battle over back pay and retirement benefits.

More than 53 percent of voters rejected the tax hike when it appeared on the ballot in

he said, “It seems like we’ve traded great for good enough” since he sold SDT. SDT’s post-Hurricane Katrina cleanup famously sprayed French Quarter streets with a lemon-scented cleaner and elevated Torres to a minor national celebrity, with ads starring Kid Rock and Lenny Kravitz. Torres also created the French Quarter Task Force app and is developing several large-scale real estate projects, including an apartment complex in Mid-City and an assisted living center in the former Carmelite monastery on North Rampart Street.

April — tethered to a millage for police. In a statement last week, Landrieu Press Secretary Hayne Rainey said the failed ballot measure could result in budget cuts elsewhere in order for the city to pay the settlement. “The City has additional long-term obligations that we must honor, including the obligation to pay the firefighters what they are owed according to the agreement in place,” he said.

On that same December ballot, New Orleans voters also will vote on whether to renew a Sewerage and Water Board millage to continue drainage system maintenance and construction.

‘Trashanova’ rides again “Trashanova” — and lemon-scented streets — will return to the garbage business this week.

Torres announced the company’s launch last week on his website and in a YouTube video in which

A total of 24 people entered the race to fill the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by twoterm U.S. Sen. David Vitter as qualifying ended last week.

Qualifiers include a handful known to New Orleans area voters: attorney Caroline Fayard, a Democrat who ran for lieutenant governor in 2010; former U.S. Rep. Anh “Joseph” Cao, a Republican; Democrats Derrick Edwards, an attorney; and Gary Landrieu, a cousin of the mayor who is not politically aligned with him; retired Air Force Col. Rob Maness, a Republican who finished third in the race that led to Mary Landrieu’s defeat in the U.S. Senate race of 2014; and Republican Abhay Patel.

New Orleans comedian Kaitlin Marone is running with no party affiliation.

Others who qualified include U.S. Reps. Charles Boustany, R-Lafayette and John Fleming, R-Minden; State Treasurer John Kennedy, a Republican from Zachary; Public Service Commissioner Foster Campbell of Shreveport, a Democrat who has Gov. John Bel Edwards’ support; former state Sen. Troy Hebert of Jeanerette, now a no-party independent; and Peter Williams, who ran for the 6th Congressional District in 2014. Former KKK leader and convicted felon David Duke also qualified.

Health director leaving City Hall New Orleans Health Department Director (NOHD) Charlotte Parent — who helped launch the city’s anti-smoking efforts in bars and casinos, the opening of New Orleans East Hospital, and a citywide

domestic violence policy — will leave City Hall July 29. Parent, who became NOHD head in 2014 following Karen DeSalvo, will serve as vice president of community affairs at LCMC Health, the hospital network that includes Children’s Hospital, Touro and University Medical Center.

8. OPSB: Bloom won’t run

One day before qualifying for the fall elections began, Orleans Parish School Board (OPSB) President Seth Bloom announced he would not seek re-election. Bloom, a lawyer who has served on OPSB for eight years, was elected board president in 2015. He represents District 5, which includes much of Uptown. In a statement, Bloom said he will be “exploring ways I can best serve our community,” but did not outline any specific plans.

An extra buck for the Causeway?

Would you pay an extra $1 to come back from the Northshore? The Greater New Orleans Expressway Commission (GNOEC) is considering a hike in toll prices to cover safety improvements on the 24-mile causeway over Lake Pontchartrain, the original span of which opened in 1956. The current toll is $3 for southbound drivers. Consideration of a toll hike likely will be discussed at the GNOEC’s August meeting, tentatively set for Aug. 17.

10. ‘Museum Month’ returns this week

New Orleans’ annual “Museum Month” returns Aug. 1.

During the event, major local museums offer free admission with an active membership at another participating institution. For example, buying a membership to the Contemporary Arts Center gets you in to the New Orleans Museum of Art, the National World War II Museum, Le Musee de Free People of Color and several other local museums.

Budget-friendly memberships include Ashe Cultural Arts Center (from $25), the Historic New Orleans Collection (from $35) and Longue Vue House & Gardens (from $35). A complete list of participating museums is available at www. touristathome.com.

The total number of Louisiana delegate votes cast for Donald Trump and Ted Cruz collectively at last week’s Republican National Convention (RNC).

How do you feel about the 2016 presidential candidates?

3% STILL UNDECIDED

P H O T O S B Y G AG E S K I D M O R E / ONE DAY BEFORE TEXAS SEN. TED C R E AT I V E C O M M O N S CRUZ (pictured, left) enraged RNC attendees by refusing to endorse GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump (right) during Cruz’s prime-time speech, Louisiana Republicans — led by delegation chair Jeff Giles — cast their votes at the party’s presidential convention in Cleveland. Trump received 31 votes, while Cruz got 15.

In the March 5 Louisiana Republican presidential primary, Trump received 41 percent of the vote, while Cruz picked up 38 percent. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio came in third, with 11 percent.

Due to the complicated formula used to apportion Louisiana’s GOP convention delegates, Trump and Cruz originally had the same number of delegates: 18 apiece. Trump threatened (via a tweet), “Just to show you how unfair Republican Primary politics can be, I won the State of Louisiana and get less delegates than Cruz- lawsuit coming.” Trump eventually picked up several uncommitted delegates. — KEVIN ALLMAN

COMMENTARY

WHILE THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE AND LOUISIANA’S CONTEST FOR THE U.S. SENATE WILL DOMINATE LOCAL POLITICAL NEWS CYCLES

between now and Nov. 8, there are plenty of other important elections on the ballot — in fact, there are hundreds of them spread among the state’s 64 parishes.

All six congressional seats in Louisiana are contested, and two of them are “open” because the incumbents in those districts are running for the Senate seat that will be vacated by two-term U.S. Sen. David Vitter, R-Metairie, early next year. In addition to those hotly contested federal elections, voters across Louisiana will choose two members of the Public Service Commission, two members of the Louisiana Supreme Court, a handful of district and appellate judges, and hundreds of local and parochial office holders.

Of particular local importance are the races for Orleans Parish School Board (OPSB) and two special elections in Kenner. The seven OPSB members to be elected this year will begin overseeing the return of all state-run Orleans Parish public schools before the next round of elections, thanks to a state law mandating the return of once-failing schools that were placed under state control in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The Kenner elections will fill vacancies created by the election of former Mayor Michael Yenni as Jefferson Parish’s president and Yenni’s appointment of former At-Large Councilman Keith Conley as the parish administration’s chief operating officer.

Since 2005, New Orleans’ many failing public schools have been managed by the Recovery School District (RSD). Created during the tenure of former Gov. Kathleen Blanco, the RSD has presided over vast improvements in student test scores and graduation rates while converting virtually all of its local schools into charter schools. This was a bold step and was not always a rousing

success. Overall, however, a majority of public school parents and taxpayers have expressed confidence in the track record of local charter schools.

That said, it’s time to begin implementing a plan to put all local public schools back under local control. For its part, the OPSB has cleaned up its finances, improved its bond rating significantly and earned voters’ trust — although that road has not always been smooth. Former District 1 board member Ira Thomas’ conviction on federal corruption charges last year stands as a stark reminder that voters as well as prosecutors need to keep a close watch on the school system.

Meanwhile, in Kenner, voters face important choices in the coming years in terms of upgrading the city’s aging infrastructure with limited resources. Kenner has been blessed with responsible leadership in recent years, and these special elections afford that city’s voters a chance to continue that track record.

We hope voters across Louisiana will pay as much attention to local elections as the contests for president, U.S. Senate and Congress. The latter have more prestige and visibility, but the local elections on the Nov. 8 ballot have a far greater — and more direct — bearing on the quality of life in all our communities.

CLANCY DUBOS @clancygambit

He’s baaack

JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT POLITICS COULDN’T GET ANY CRAZIER ,

neo-Nazi and former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke resurfaced to run for the U.S. Senate as a Republican.

Actually, I need to add two more items to Duke’s resume: convicted felon and admitted fraud.

Duke pleaded guilty to mail fraud and tax evasion in 2002, after defrauding his own political supporters for years. He was sentenced to 15 months in jail. He served his time, wrote a political tome that he doubtless hoped would be his version of Mein Kampf (he is known to have celebrated Adolf Hitler’s birthday), then left the country for several years to purvey his brand of racism and anti-Semitism in the friendlier environs of Russia and the Middle East. In 2005, he got a Ph.D. from a Ukrainian private university that has been dubbed “the University of Hate.” These days he refers to himself as Dr. David Duke.

Now he’s returned to Louisiana and apparently feels the time is right for his political comeback. For those too young to remember, Duke gained political legitimacy in 1989 by registering as a Republican and winning a special election to the Louisiana House of Representatives.

He served less than one term before losing a U.S. Senate race in 1990. Sensing he could not win his House seat again, Duke ran for governor in 1991 against incumbent Gov. Buddy Roemer and former Gov. Edwin Edwards. He made the runoff against Edwards, giving rise to one of the most memorable bumper stickers in American

history: “Vote for the crook — it’s important.”

Duke also ran for president in the Republican primaries in 1992 — winning not a single delegate. He later lost more races for president, Congress and the U.S. Senate.

If Duke manages to squeeze into the Senate runoff this year — and that’s a distinct possibility with so many candidates in the race — we could see a new twist on that famous bumper sticker: “Vote against the crook — it’s important.”

This much is certain: Duke will not be Louisiana’s next U.S. senator. He could, however, play a major role in electing our next senator. If he should make the runoff, his opponent — whoever he or she might be — will be a shoo-in. I don’t often make such predictions, but this one is easy. If Duke couldn’t beat Edwin “The Crook” Edwards at the height of his own popularity, how’s he going to win now with a federal felony conviction hanging around his neck?

Remember: The people Duke defrauded were his own supporters. They sent him money when he claimed to be in financial straits — then he used the loot to go on gambling sprees. Real classy guy.

His candidacy could be a boon to Democrats, because there are far more high-profile Republicans than Democrats in the Senate race.

In the meantime, Duke will do what he always has done: raise money by spreading lies, hate, fear and anger — while claiming he’s a victim.

It will be interesting to see how many suckers are still out there.

Hey Blake, What is the story with the great-looking Rhodes Funeral Home building on Washington Avenue near Broad Street?

SILAS

Dear Silas, Like many historic buildings in New Orleans, the one you ask about has been creatively restored into a building with a purpose. The original and the current uses of an old building often are very different, and that’s the case here.

The structure at 3933 Washington Ave. opened in May 1926 as the Tivoli Theatre. The movie theater was imposing and distinctive, with a striking exterior that includes a terra cotta frieze on the arch above the entrance. It was designed by noted architect Emile Weil, who also designed the Saenger and other local theaters, Touro Synagogue and the Whitney Bank building on St. Charles Avenue.

Newspaper ads of the day called the Tivoli “the wonder suburban theater” with a seating capacity of 1,800. Promotions proclaimed “a king could have no better” than the Tivoli, which offered “wide, full-carpeted aisles and plenty of elbow room to move around.” Like most theaters of the time, the orchestra section was reserved for white patrons, while African-Americans were seated in the balcony.

The theater closed in 1969 and was purchased by Duplain Rhodes Jr. as a new location for

The former Tivoli movie theater is now a funeral home and events space.

his family’s Rhodes Funeral Home.

The business was established by Rhodes’ father in 1884 as a funeral and mortuary concern catering to African-Americans. The building on Washington Avenue was the company’s third funeral home in the area.

The building, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008, has had some bad luck with Mother Nature. Hurricane Cindy tore off the structure’s roof in 2004, then floodwaters from the federal levee failures after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 swamped the building and the surrounding Broadmoor neighborhood. The Rhodes family rebuilt the funeral home at a cost of more than $4 million. It reopened in August 2009 as a multipurpose facility that can be rented for family celebrations, christenings, weddings and receptions as well as funerals.

BLAKEVIEW THIS WEEK WE REMEMBER A NEW ORLEANS BASEBALL GREAT on what

would have been his 100th birthday. Albert “Al” Flair was born on July 24, 1916. The Fortier High School graduate played in the major leagues from 1937 to 1941, most notably with the Boston Red Sox. His last game with Boston came on the last day of the 1941 season, when he played in a doubleheader with Ted Williams. Flair then entered the Army, serving in the Pacific during World War II. When he returned to his hometown, he played with the New Orleans Pelicans in the 1947 and 1948 seasons. He’s remembered for hitting one of the longest home runs in the history of Pelican Stadium — one that went over the 407-foot mark of the centerfield scoreboard. He later retired from baseball and started a business. Flair died in 1988. The Zephyrs inducted him into their New Orleans Professional Baseball Hall of Fame in 2009.

Sous chefs keep restaurant kitchens running

BY HELEN FREUND PHOTOS BY ROMNEY PHOTOGRAPHY IN A SCENE FROM THE HBO SERIES TREME, Eric Ripert, celebrity

New York chef and owner of Le Bernardin, takes aside Janette Desautel, a fictional character loosely based on New Orleans chef Susan Spicer, to pepper her with some words of wisdom from his career.

“Friends, lovers, marriage — they come and go,” he says. “But your sous chef — that’s a lifelong relationship.”

Though those words are from a script, the sentiment is the real deal, echoed by chefs all over the world when reflecting on their second in command.

“It’s like a marriage in many ways,” says chef Frank Brigtsen, whose longtime sous chef Larry Herbert has worked beside him at his Riverbend restaurant for 25 years. Together, they’ve been through thick and thin, from broken plumbing to hurricanes.

“You have these unspoken understandings and synchronicity,” Brigtsen says. “It’s made my life so much easier. He’s like family.”

In our food-obsessed times, when cooking can generate cult celebrity status, the names of famous chefs roll off the tongue like a slippery pearl of caviar.

But sous chefs — even at the best-known restaurants — remain relatively unknown.

Sous chefs may toil behind the scenes before gaining recognition. Trey Herty was the executive sous chef at John Besh’s Restaurant August, a sous chef at Phillip Lopez’s Root and worked at Chicago’s Blackbird and The Publican restaurants, before moving to the Brown Butter Southern Kitchen & Bar last year.

“The best thing about being a sous chef is that you’re still kind of grounded and able to work behind the scenes,” Herty says. “Every restaurant is different, but sous chefs generally still work the line shifts, which is what lures most of us to stay in the kitchen anyway.”

While the big names and executive chefs may dominate conversation about the restaurant world, many people don’t realize how the structure in professional kitchens actually works — and that the person running the show isn’t always who you think it is. Together with the executive chef or chef de cuisine and general manager, the sous chef helps communicate the kitchen’s needs to the front of the house so the restaurant runs harmoniously.

On good days, it is akin to a well-

oiled machine; on others, it can be closer to a mess of grinding gears.

Not all kitchens have the same structure, and depending on the restaurant’s size and the scope of the menu, the chain of command can vary. Still, chef August Escoffier’s time-honored brigade de cuisine is still the most widely mimicked setup in the industry and breaks down the kitchen hierarchy in a flow chart of positions starting with the commis chefs, junior cooks usually saddled with a number of tasks and prep work, to the restaurant’s top dog, the executive chef.

The trajectory of any given chef varies. Some attend prestigious culinary institutions, some learn everything in their mother’s kitchen and others get a foot in the door by starting as a dishwasher or at the salad station before working their way up the hot line. In its most perfect form, the kitchen line is a meritocracy, where ability, hard work and dedication are rewarded.

“Sous chefs are grown from within,” Brigtsen says. “That speaks to their quality and their value. So much more so than any other position, it’s a position that’s earned.”

So, what does a day in the life of a sous chef look like? To start, sous chefs are looking at a 60- to 70-hour workweek. There’s never been much beating around the bush when it comes to describing the hardships and long hours of kitchen life, but sous chefs have a particularly long haul. Because the position tends to be a salaried job, sous chefs often make less while

Their colleagues know them as the workhorses and backbones of the industry, but sous chefs tend to stay out of the spotlight.

Here’s what a few sous chefs and notable chefs say about the job:

“They’re the blood and veins of the kitchens.

Without them, we wouldn’t exist. (Your chef) is someone that you are inspired by and look up to and who really wants to help you grow. (As a sous chef), I always looked to my chefs as teachers and as mentors. There are good chefs and bad chefs, and I had both.”

— ALON SHAYA, SHAYA

“They’re the backbones of my restaurants.

These are the folks that run the kitchens and, like anything, chefs without great staffs are nothing. Although food is our medium, it really, truly is a people business.

14 working longer hours than some of the staff they supervise.

Ross Dover, a sous chef at Restaurant August, says his 70hour work week often rolls into his days off.

“It can get really tough,” Dover says. “Your free time is mainly spent thinking about the restaurant.

You have days off, but there are always people calling you, asking you questions.”

The position also is very much a managerial one, from making sure orders from vendors and foragers arrive on time to last-minute menu tweaks when they don’t, to dealing with scheduling and staffing issues and overseeing dinner service.

Coquette chef Michael Stoltzfus says that while he was a sous chef at Restaurant August, his job was “basically making sure that the restaurant was ready to go every day.”

That meant getting to the restaurant in the morning before everyone else and assembling a long — and seemingly neverending — checklist: Did the produce orders

Best thing about being a sous chef “Being able to try different things, being able to work on different levels with people and being able to be creative and having the time to be creative. As a line cook you don’t always get those opportunities.”

get delivered on time? Is the fish fresh enough? What to do with that extra stock from yesterday? Is the new line cook working out?

“It’s always been the hardest job in the kitchen,” says Alon Shaya, executive chef and partner of Shaya, Domenica and Pizza Domenica restaurants. “Middle management is always the toughest position.”

But the job is a highly coveted one, giving chefs the ability to grow while working one-on-one with their mentor. It enables them to learn while testing their creative boundaries, helping out with menu design while simultaneously learning how to manage the day-to-day operations at the restaurant in case they might want to run their own one day.

“It’s really such a great way to learn,” says Katie Juban, who works as the sous chef at Sylvain under chef Martha Wiggins.

“When you’re finally in that position where you can spread your wings … It’s a real feeling of accomplishment.”

Worst thing about being a sous chef “The hours.”

“You have a lot more responsibility, so if something goes wrong, you’re held accountable for the whole restaurant and not just one station.”

Gambit’s Emerging Chefs Challenge Sous chef Trey Herty of Brown Butter Southern Kitchen & Bar won Gambit’s fourth annual Emerging Chefs Challenge July 13 at The Cannery.

The competition featured sous chefs from 15 New Orleans restaurants including Restaurant August, Shaya, Brennan’s New Orleans, Peche Seafood Grill and Dick & Jenny’s.

Herty prepared slow-roasted pork belly with peaches, peas and ricotta.

“The chefs (at Brown Butter) told me to try to figure out something that would be accessible but original,” Herty said after claiming his trophy and the $1,000 prize.

“Peaches and peas are in season, so I did that,” Herty added.

Herty developed the dish in the kitchen at Brown Butter and it was added to the menu last week.

He has worked with bullfrog at the restaurant, including highlighting smoked bullfrog in a gumbo, but the dish at Emerging Chefs Challenge was original (it is not on the menu at the restaurant).

“I was trying to do the most off-thewall thing I could think of,” Roberts said. “They told me to do something that everyone would remember.”

Sous chef Justin Ross of Peche Seafood Grill won third place for his chilled corn soup with crab and farro.

Winners were determined by ballots cast by attendees after sampling dishes. More than 500 votes were cast.

Metairie, 504-455-2266; www. riccobonospeppermill.com), there is a changing of the guard. Another generation of Riccobonos is ready to leave its mark on the neighborhood restaurant.

“We’re sharing a new vision we have for the restaurant — totally respecting the food tradition, of course, but trying to bring forward the style and the essence of our generation,” Camille Chiarella says.

Chiarella, Joe Riccobono and Lizzy Randol are the third generation of Riccobonos to run the restaurant, which was founded by their grandparents Joe and Josie Riccobono in 1976. Cousins Chiarella and Joe Riccobono worked in different professions before they regrouped to run Peppermill. Chiarella had experience in the food industry, having operated a meal preparation company called DinnerBelle and a catering company. Riccobono came from technical consulting.

“We’ve got a close family and we’ve managed to bring complementary skill sets,” Riccobono says.

“She’s got restaurant experience and I’ve got some management experience and between us it’s really working out well.”

The new team did away with the dark burgundy ceilings and solid wood furniture for a lighter, more modern look. They also refurbished the private dining room. Though the restaurant’s management and decor have changed, its hearty Italian classics remain the same.

“We bring in some other dishes that we think complement those,” Riccobonno says. “Our customers are so regular. We certainly want

them to still feel like they’re at the Peppermill, so even if we’re changing the menu around, it’s still got a core base of who we are.”

The menu features hearty Italian entrees like veal parmesan, as well as New Orleans seafood dishes.

Catfish and crawfish dishes are mainstays on both the breakfast and dinner menus.

“We have a crawfish bisque that was actually our great-grandma’s recipe, redfish amandine, an eggs Benedict made with crawfish,” Chiarella says.

The Riccobonos employ two cooks who were hired when the restaurant opened in 1976.

“They’re two brothers,” Chiarella says. “They started out as dishwashers and worked their way up to cooks.

They’re really talented.”

When Chiarella and Riccobono talk about memories of the Peppermill, their eyes light up.

“This is home cooking for us.

Spreading the word

Tal’s Hummus serves casual Israeli food.

BY H E L E N F R E U N D @helenfreund IT SHOULDN’T COME AS A SURPRISE THAT UPTOWN’S NEWEST ISRAELI SPOT, Tal’s Hummus, is already

enjoying a modicum of success, considering the accolades racked up by nearby Shaya.

While Shaya’s approach is polished and elegant, Tal’s is much more casual. Here, the concept is based on quick and fresh Israeli street food. Diners order at a counter and can bring their own alcohol, which helps keep the tab low. Service is limited and can slow down when the tiny place is packed.

Since opening in May, the airy Magazine Street restaurant, owned

by Doris Metropolitan alum Tal Sharon, has offered a small and simple selection of platters, sandwiches and salads. Though fairly straightforward, the food is fresh and lively, and there’s clear dedication to quality. The menu is modeled on street food, but that shouldn’t imply fast food decorum. Food is fresh, filling, flavorful and made to order.

Pingpong ball-sized orbs of falafel have a coffee-colored crust that gives way to bright green, moist and cohesive interiors with a toasted, nutty flavor. A colorful mix of diced tomatoes, cucumbers and onions forms the backbone of an Israeli salad tossed with bright green parsley leaves and drizzled with peppery lemon and olive oil dressing — a refreshing medley that decorates many platters and pita sandwiches.

On one visit, borek — buttery puff pastry triangles — were filled with a thin layer of sauteed mushrooms. On other visits, they were stuffed with soft farmers cheese and served with

WHERE

hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes, pickles and yogurt.

Somewhere in the late 1990s, hummus (remember the grainy stuff?) fell into favor with the Birkenstock-wearing crowd, but it took a while to reach mainstream grocers’ shelves in the U.S., let alone trendy restaurants. A few years ago, a hummus renaissance ushered in a new breed of velvety spreads, and the Middle Eastern chickpea dish finally got the respect it deserves.

The version at Tal’s is in the second camp — a garlicky, silky dip with a faint hint of tahini that doesn’t taste smoky or heavy on sesame paste. Mushroom lovers will swoon for a version topped with heaps of sauteed champignons and slivered onions.

Warmed, fluffy pita envelopes a number of pocket-like sandwiches including the excellent sabich, which brims with smoky ribbons of charred eggplant, hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers, a healthy slathering of tahini and amba, a sweet and briny pickled mango condiment.

Beef kebabs are presented like miniature patties, blackened and crispy on the outside and cooked to a juicy, barely medium on the inside.

They fill pita along with parsley and Israeli salad, tahini and fat pickle wedges — a combination of tart and bright flavors that balance the rich elements of the grilled meat.

Besides a handful of chicken and beef kebab dishes, Tal’s is a mostly vegetarian joint, and vegetable sides don’t disappoint, with the exception of a lightly fried, poorly seasoned cauliflower dish.

The new spot, located next to the boutique hotel, occupies a renovated historic Creole townhouse and is connected to the hotel property. It has bars on two floors as well as several dining areas, including a spacious patio.

New Orleanians Alex and Miles Pincus and partner Adrien Gallo are behind the project — the group also oversees New York’s floating oyster bar Grand Banks along with executive chef Kerry Heffernan.

There’s a small rotating selection of desserts, but one sweet Middle Eastern standby is always a good end to a meal here: syrupy baklava cigars, with thin, honey-drenched threads of phyllo wrapped around a dense walnut center.

New Orleanians have made it clear that modern Israeli food is not only welcome but celebrated, and Tal’s Hummus is a fun and casual addition to the scene.

EAT+DRINK 3-COURSE INTERVIEW

Mandy Simpson OWNER OF NOLA BOARDS MANDY SIMPSON AND HER HUSBAND DAREN SUMROW OWN THE ARTISANAL CUTTING BOARD STORE NOLA BOARDS (4304 Mag-

azine St., 504-516-2601; www.nolaboards. com). Together, the couple makes and sells kitchen cutting boards using local and exotic woods treated with mineral oil and beeswax. Simpson spoke with Gambit about the benefits of using wooden cutting boards and how to take care of them.

How did you start making cutting boards?

SIMPSON: My husband Daren owns New Orleans Woodworking, and they do a lot of restaurant and residential projects. At the time, one of our friends came and asked him to build a cutting board as a wedding present. He built that and I put it on social media. … Everything just kind of blew up from there. In fall of 2014, we started doing more and we got a great response.

Everything now is so disposable. We throw everything away — from plastic cups to cutting boards. We just wanted to make something that was good quality and that was going to last a long time and we knew that families would pass them around and use them for entertaining. We like to call them functional art — making something that’s good quality and beautiful but something that you can actually use at the same time.

What’s the difference between using wooden and plastic boards?

S: There’s always the debate about using wooden versus plastic cutting boards, and it comes and goes and people go through phases. I think it looks better, honestly. I love the different colors of the wood. We have a board called the Atchafalaya board, and that’s made out of local sinker cypress, so the colors in the board come out really pretty — swampy green and brown.

It’s also better for your knives.

The end-grain boards are better for not dulling your knives. It’s about the way the wood grain is facing, so it’s just a little bit softer on your knives. It won’t dull them so much when you’re chopping

something repeatedly.

We’re in this society where everything is plastic, plastic, plastic, and I just like working with things that are going to last longer than myself — that are going to be around for a long time. I like the idea of cutting boards that you’re really making your memories on, like when you’re cooking for your family. We have three teenagers in the house, so it feels like we’re always making food. We want people to make memories on them, maybe even pass them on to family members. Wooden cutting boards can last years, even decades.

What’s the best way to care for wooden cutting boards?

S: We coat all of our cutting boards with a locally made mineral oil and beeswax conditioner.

It’s made by Fleur de Bees on the West Bank. She raises all of her own bees and makes this special for us. If you’re an avid cook, you’re going to want to take care of your board, and we encourage people to do that. It will make it last longer and help the quality.

It will help make it look better too. You can use a (mineral oil) conditioner like that three or four times a year. You also could buy mineral oil and beeswax at stores, and there are basic cutting board conditioners (for sale) out there.

It’s not as hard as people think.

For everyday use, as long as you don’t put it in the dishwasher, you’ll be fine. If you put it in the dishwasher, it will start to break apart. But it can handle your sink water for quite a long time.

(Wood) is very sustainable. Just hand wash it, oil it and wax it every couple of months and you’ll be good. — HELEN FREUND

ERIC AND LEAH JENSEN CREATED THE NAME PARLEAUX BEER LAB (4224 ROYAL ST.; WWW.PARLEAUXBEERLAB. COM) because it reflects the

forthcoming brewery’s surrounding neighborhood as well as Eric’s previous work as an educator. “Parleaux” joins the French words for “by” and “water,” and Eric says “lab” evokes the kind of brewing he plans to do when the brewery opens later this year.

“Labs are used to describe experimental processes,” Eric says, “That’s how I approach brewing.”

A large backyard features 17 fruit trees — including satsuma, fig and kumquat trees — which will inspire the types of beers brewed.

The space also will serve as a beer garden.

Eric and friends home-brewed under the name Neutral Ground Brewing before he and Leah decided to purchase the shotgun house on the corner of Royal and Lesseps streets to build their brewery. After the school year ended in May, he turned his attention to the project full time.

The first phase of construction is building the brewing space in the area behind the house. A 10-barrel brewhouse system and tanks will take up much of the indoor space, OF WINE THE WEEK

but there will be room for a service bar and tables. Future phases will develop the upstairs and front of the house.

The Jensens think the outdoor area will shine, with a shaded green space bordering railroad tracks serving as Parleaux’s beer garden.

The Jensens plan to start with four to six beers that will be available only at the brewery, and add other beers later.

“We want to be a part of the neighborhood and serve the community,” Eric says. “For us, that’s what beer is all about.”

2015 Reunion Malbec Mendoza, Argentina Retail $12-$14

THE POPULARITY OF MALBEC WINES has placed the city of Mendoza and Argentina’s largest wine region, also called Mendoza, on the world’s wine map. This wine is from the family-owned estate founded by Raul Joffre 20 years ago and operated with his four daughters. Malbec grapes were hand-harvested from 15-year-old vines cultivated in sandy and stony soils at altitudes from 3,300 to 4,100 feet above sea level. In the cellar, the wine was vinified with pre-fermentation maceration in temperature-controlled vats. The wine matured for four months in 70 percent French oak barrels and 30 percent American oak and then aged in the bottle for four months. In the glass, it offers aromas of cassis, oak and leather with chocolate notes and some spice. On the palate, taste blackberry, cherry and some mushroom and earthy qualities. Decant 30 minutes before serving. Drink it with grilled beef, roasted venison, poultry and firm cheeses. Buy it at: Grande Krewe Fine Wine & Spirits, Brady’s Wine Warehouse, Bin 428, Faubourg Wines, Dorignac’s and Acquistapace’s Covington Supermarket. Drink it at: Desi Vega’s Steakhouse, Tujague’s, Kyoto Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar, Bacchanal and Andy’s Bistro.

Case is a longtime lang fan.

“I’m so familiar with everything k.d. has done,” she says.

“There wasn’t anything she couldn’t do. She’s this great singer who made those beautiful torch records and country records. She’d be on The Larry Sanders Show being hilarious and on the Pee-wee Herman Christmas special with Grace Jones. And, oh, she’s an out lesbian and she owns it. k.d. is so joyously herself. So bold and so beautiful. She inspired me (during) my entire musical career.”

Case, lang and Veirs originally considered making an album of other people’s songs but decided to make their own music for the project.

“Write them together as three alpha personalities, who normally are the bosses of their projects,” Case says. “We wanted to make it for fun. We wanted to please ourselves as well as serve the songs.”

Because Case, lang, Veirs and Martine already had busy careers, their collaboration happened in spurts during a two-and-a-half-year period.

“Everyone was so busy,” Case says. “But we wanted it. That’s the part that means the most to me. I love people who are the real deal, who do what they say they’re gonna do. We all showed up. We committed. And it feels so good.”

Hoping not to inspire preconceived notions, the singers kept the collaboration quiet. As simple as their objectives were — having fun and making an album they loved — making music together was challenging.

“It was like master class for me,” Case says. “Like, ‘OK. You better be ready to learn something here. You can’t just half-ass show up. You gotta really be a part of this to your core.’”

The trio didn’t know if a tour would follow the album’s release.

“We all really cared about the songs,” Case says. “We thought it would be a shame if we didn’t tour with them.”

It’s too early to say if a follow-up to case/lang/veirs will happen.

“The only reason I wouldn’t is because we couldn’t get together, not because I don’t think it wouldn’t come out great,” Case says. “I love working with them. I’ve learned more working with them than I could have learned doing anything else.”

MARISSA NADLER’S VOICE IS AN OPEN INVITATION TO HYPERBOLE. It’s been called both angelic and something you would follow straight into Hades. Her local paper, The Boston Globe, fancifully opined that, in mythological times, it could have lured men to their deaths at sea. (Talk about a Homer.) While that vaporous soprano has dominated discussion of her seven recordings, the moods and methods behind each one are impressively varied, ranging from finger-picked acoustic folk to slippery slide-guitar country to torch-lit noir rock. Her May release Strangers (Sacred Bones) moves through a four-song stretch that connects Pink Floyd’s ominous machinations (“Katie I Know,” “Skyscraper”) to Beach House’s dune-eroding drones (“Hungry Is the Ghost,” “All the Colors of the Dark”); the • July 27 title track backgrounds the rhythm guitar in favor of a slow-hand electric lead, and “Janie • 8:30 p.m. Wednesday in Love” courts a bad romance with a diaph• Gasa Gasa anous 1950s slow dance. Working again with • 4920 Freret St. audio engineer Randall Dunn — best known for his expansive productions of elemental • (504) 338-3567 metal bands Sunn O))) and Earth — Nadler • www.gasagasa.com takes the heavy oppression of hard rock and applies it to the softest of sounds, making for a truly disconcerting and disorienting listening experience. “You touch and the earth will crumble,” she lulls on “Janie”; “You speak and hurricanes attack.” Maybe the siren calls aren’t so far off after all. Wrekmeister Harmonies and Muscle and Marrow open. Tickets $10. — NOAH BONAPARTE PAIS

REVIEW

IT’S NOT BREAKING NEWS THAT THE RECORD INDUSTRY IS NOT WHAT IT WAS IN ITS HEYDAY. The music streaming freely to smartphones and computers across the globe tells the tale, along with the industry’s ever-plummeting sales figures. But remnants of the old record business remain, from the grooming and packaging of promising young artists to big-time recording contracts that don’t necessarily prove beneficial — artistically or financially — to those same artists.

For many viewers, the continued existence of that age-old system is the first revelation found in director Luke Meyer’s insightful Breaking a Monster.

It’s a fly-on-the-wall documentary that tells the story of Brooklyn heavy metal band Unlocking the Truth, which consists of three African-American boys who were 12 and 13 when the film was shot.

Heavy metal is not a field widely known for its racial diversity.

When we first meet the band, it has just come under the wing of record-industry veteran Alan Sacks, who was the force • Opens July 29 behind the Jonas Brothers’ multimilliondollar teen-rock empire. Sacks is about to • The Broad Theater shepherd Unlocking the Truth into the offices • 636 N. Broad St. of Sony Music Entertainment to sign a $1.8 million, five-album recording contract. The • (504) 218-1008 slow-building conflicts that arise from that • www.thebroadtheater.com celebratory event initially seem like something we’ve seen many times before. But Breaking a Monster has something more to offer: A real world coming-of-age story about three spirited kids gradually learning to forge their own path through the adult world of big money and high expectations.

Unlocking the Truth’s story began when lead singer-guitarist Malcolm Brickhouse, drummer Jarad Dawkins and bassist Alec Atkins decided to take their original thrash metal — inspired by bands ranging from Slayer to Disturbed — to the streets of Manhattan’s Times Square. Video posted to YouTube by a fan garnered more than a million views, attracting the attention of national entertainment media and future manager Sacks. Though technically adept far beyond their years, band members were self-aware enough to admit they were still developing their own style and unique voice.

Of course, Sacks and Sony Music had their own ideas about how to shape the band’s music and, more important, their brand. Tensions mount as the label continually delays the band’s first recording sessions, waiting for Brickhouse’s vocals to improve even as the band scores a high-profile gig at the massive Coachella festival and a by-request opening slot for Metallica at Heavy Montreal. It’s a pleasure to witness the kids’ budding rebellion as they begin to understand that making music and staying true to themselves are the only things that matter.

Meyer keeps Breaking a Monster moving briskly and does an admirable job of capturing the stress and eventual triumph of the band’s early breakout shows. The director made a short documentary portrait called Unlocking the Truth in 2013 (still available on YouTube), which allowed him to earn the band’s trust early on and avoid for-the-camera staginess in Breaking a Monster.

The only thing missing from the film is a postscript revealing what happened in the period just after the shoot. Frustrated by endless delays in getting their music out to the world, Unlocking the Truth negotiated its way out of both the Sony contract and Sacks’ management. Independent at last, the band finally released its first album, Chaos, last month. High school finally looms ahead for the band, but so does a shot at self-determined success. — KEN KORMAN

STAGE

IF YOU WANT TO DIP A TOE INTO THE NOLA PROJECT’S LATEST IMMERSIVE THEATER EXPERIENCE, be sure to wear a bathing suit, because you might get wet (swimming is welcome after the show).

Exterior. Pool-Night, an original play written • July 28-31 and directed by founding artistic director • 8:15 p.m. Thursday-Sunday Andrew Larimer, is staged in and around the pool on the 11th floor of the Aloft New • Aloft New Orleans DownOrleans Downtown hotel, as well as in the town, 225 Baronne St. streets of the CBD. The location looks like a movie set, and the audience is almost part • (504) 302-9117 of the action.

• www.nolaproject.com At the elevator of the Aloft, theatergoers • Tickets $20-$30 are given headphones and tiny radios tuned into Beach Boys music, setting the scene.

Poolside, a starlet (Audrey Wagner) treads PHOTO BY JEREMY BLUM water, sporting a vintage red and white bikini as people arrange themselves on lounge chairs or sit at the pool’s edge.

Veronica (Natalie Boyd), excitedly tells her agent she sold her screenplay, and their conversation is captured through a shotgun microphone as she moves around the pool deck. Images projected onto the hotel wall come from a live camera feed and pre-edited videos. Larimer and sound designer Nick Frederick, an experienced ham radio operator, found radios, FM transmitters and open broadcast channels to facilitate long-range clarity.

The play’s film director, actor and celebrity Shia LeBeouf (Alex Martinez Wallace) mangles Veronica’s screenplay about her grandfather Jonas Salk, inventor of the polio vaccine, injecting sex scenes and monsters for greater marketability. Boyd is terrific as the naive writer, jockeying with the egotistical Hollywood director to redeem her distorted script.

In Act 2, actors lead the audience off-site in different directions. Radios and headphones allowed our group to listen in as Tucker (Alec Barnes) gave Veronica a pep talk, while we walked on the other side of Roosevelt Way. Tucker and Veronica improvised as they passed a jazz combo on the street.

Trailing the couple allowed the audience to get a “wide shot” of the characters against an urban backdrop, recalling memorable movie scenes with another exasperated screenwriter, Woody Allen, frustrated by B-list Hollywood directors in a traveling conversation with actress Diane Keaton. Mikey (A.J. Allegra) plays the nerdy, Woody Allen-like love interest opposite the luscious starlet Mia. Larimer described his approach: “The show, visually, is trying to compare the tool sets of theater (spontaneity, intimacy and being a singular unrepeatable moment) and film (use of multiple locations, greater visual control, special effects, etc.).”

Immersion theater has proved popular in New York and London, where large budgets can create elaborate experiences for audiences to freely explore, some at their own pace. But in trying to imitate these high-rolling shows, the technology used in Exterior. Pool-Night added little to the comedy. Veronica and Tucker led the group to a tourist shop, but there was no actual point to being there. While interesting and offbeat, the mechanics transformed a play into performance art.

Exterior. Pool-Night is an evening of enjoyable kitschy comedy, but it would have benefited from a greater emphasis on plot and less on gadgetry. — MARY RICKARD
