Welcome to Gambit’s Best of New Orleans 2016.

(Around the office we just call it BONO, and on Twitter it has the hashtag #BONO2016.)

This year’s BONO is different in several ways. It’s the third year since we’ve eliminated paper ballots, and the ballot was further refined to make it easy to vote via smartphone or tablet. Every year we get questions about methodology, and I’ve tried to answer a few of those:

How do you pick the categories?

G A M B I T > B E S T O F N E WO R L E A N S . C O M > AU G U S T 2 3 > 2 0 1 6

We start working on Best of New Orleans in May, when we meet to review the issue from the year before, culling some categories (sorry, “Best Vape Shop”) and adding new ones.

We also consolidated several categories and reduced the number of votes you had to make to submit a ballot — both in response to reader feedback.

How do you count all those ballots?

We couldn’t keep track of tens of thousands of votes without managing editor Kandace Graves, who has kept BONO on track for more than a decade via various platforms, back to the fill-it-out-by-hand and snail-mail days.

Do people try to cheat?

Of course they do, and we have ways to weed them out.

Are the results really real?

Absolutely, and they reflect the tastes of the voters, not necessarily the tastes of the staff — sometimes definitely not the preferences of the staff. In a few past years, we’ve supplanted your choices with editors’ picks, but usually we defer to the city’s collective wisdom — as we did this year. No complaining about the results; they reflect the choices of those who bothered to vote.

Do the winners know they’re winners before the paper comes out?

No, although they do know if they’ve placed in the Top 3. Advertising has no role in the results; it’s strictly a popular vote. About all businesses can do is encourage their customers to vote for them.

This is your Best of New Orleans. Now argue among yourselves as to what you got right — and what you got wrong. — KEVIN ALLMAN, EDITOR

1 Compere Lapin (535 Tchoupitoulas St., 504-599-2119; www.comperelapin.com) It could have been a gimmick: Top Chef contestant opens restaurant near the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. But Nina Compton’s stylish take on Caribbean cuisine, inside the Old 77 Hotel & Chandlery, is the real thing. There are separate lunch, brunch and dinner menus, but dinner is where the kitchen shines: Conch croquettes and spicy pig ears are popular appetizers, the curried goat is a must and the tartares — an impossibly smooth steak tartare and a smoked-tuna version — are addictive. One of the city’s best bartenders, Abigail Gullo, mixes deceptively simple cocktails like “Paris, Between the Wars” (Scotch and pear cider) that make the bar a destination on its own.

361-8008) The West Bank has many excellent Vietnamese restaurants, but Tan Dinh — tucked in a Gretna strip mall just off the Westbank Expressway — was our readers’ favorite this year. The huge menu goes way beyond pho, banh mi, spring rolls and vermicelli bowls (though those all are available).

Standouts include delicate marinated quail, sticky lemongrass chicken wings, salt-and-pepper squid and Korean-style grilled short ribs, all of which are best enjoyed family-style. Get one of the many bubble teas to go.

(504-307-4747; @TLNola) Even gratuitous use of the “eaux” spelling can’t dampen the reputation of Taceaux Loceaux, the punk food truck par excellence and reigning BONO food truck champion since 2012. Emblazoned with its mural of cackling Dia de los Muertos-style skeletons, the truck is rolling all over the place these days, from its original turf near Children’s Hospital to Uptown watering holes such as Kingpin and Dos Jefes Uptown Cigar Bar. Taceaux Loceaux also turns up at the “big show” for food trucks: special events, weddings and fests, including the Whitney White Linen Night art fair.

While the truck becomes a fixture of polite society, its irreverent menu (meaty slices of crispy-creamy battered avocado, tacos with twice-fried chicken skins) remains spirited, street-smart and defiantly delicious. For the “Carnital Knowledge” tacos, bites of crunchy radish offset juicy, tender pork shreds; vegan tacos have decadent touches such as cashew crema. Here’s hoping similarly inspired items appear on the menu when truck owners Alex and Maribeth Del Castillo open a Garden District brick-and-mortar restaurant this fall.

(1100 Stephens St. Gretna, 504-366-7665; www.ninerosesrestaurant.com) If you don’t find something at Nine Roses that intrigues you, then you likely don’t care for Vietnamese or Chinese food. The menu is loaded with all types of the two cuisines, so order a drink and take some time to see all the options.

On the Vietnamese side, the restaurant boasts that it offers dishes you’ll not see locally, unless you’re invited to dinner at a Vietnamese home. Offers range from eight soups (including abalone and shiitake mushroom soup and shark’s fin and crabmeat soup), to spring rolls and fondue dishes prepared tableside to rice platters, vermicelli and a wide assortment of seafood, meat and fowl dishes. The Chinese side of the menu is equally large.

(236 N. Carrollton Ave., 504-488-7503; 4701 Airline Drive, Metairie, 504-885-5003; www.beviseafoodco.com) Like a good pop song, Bevi Seafood Company feels instantly familiar, even though it’s only been open since 2013. Bevi is the latest and sleekest in a storied lineage of Louisiana seafood/restaurant spots where customers can wash down platters of boiled Gulf seafood with a frosty Abita beer or take home crawfish live by the pound. Airy and bright, the Mid-City location’s chalkboard menu and polished concrete floor are nods to the reigning hipster aesthetic, but a Yat-accented staff and penumbra of picnic tables keep the vibe as friendly as a backyard boil’s. The requisite po-boys, seafood platters and sides by chef/owner Justin LeBlanc don’t disappoint — nor does the rotating selection of daiquiris made from fresh fruit.

dive bar

1 Snake & Jake’s Christmas Club Lounge (7612 Oak St., 504-861-2802; www.snakeandjakes.com) There are dives and then there’s Snake & Jake’s, which doesn’t even open until 7 p.m. (when happy hour begins) and closes at oh-God-o’clock the next day. On a residential block of Oak Street, S&J’s is a welcome eyesore, a tumbledown shack with a “Regal on Tap” sign out front and a vibe that lets you know what happens at Snake’s stays at Snake’s.

Smoking is now a no-no, of course, but the rest of the bar’s charm remains, from the lurid red Christmas lights to the cans of Schlitz (enjoy yours with a shot of Jagermeister). It’s all pretty sedate until 10 or 11 p.m., when the bar begins to fill up, and by 2 a.m. all bets are off as to who (or what) you’ll see. There always seem to be dogs running around, and for some reason the tiny exterior doesn’t seem to match how big the place is inside — just one of the unexplained wonders of Snake & Jake’s.

place to get a margarita

1 El Gato Negro (81 French Market Place, 504-525-9752; 300 Harrison Ave., 504-488-0107; 800 S. Peters St., 504-309-8864; www.elgatonegronola.com) You can add premium tequila to your margarita at El Gato Negro, but in many ways that is beside the point. The real attraction lies in the fresh ingredients in combinations that capture the essence of what a margarita is supposed to be: a careful balance of ripe, citrusy sweetness and tongue-puckering sourness. For the house margarita, bright orange juice tempers the acidity of fresh-squeezed limes; the Blood of the Devil cranberry margarita is like a Cosmopolitan with a rock-and-roll makeover. Purists will relish the gold standard traditional lime margarita, rimmed with frosty salt crystals.

There are other reasons to visit El Gato Negro, including an outstanding guacamole that’s hand-mashed tableside, but the French Quarter location in particular excels as downtown’s unrivaled margarita purveyor. Pull up at an outdoor table to while away the afternoon with cocktails and people-watching, or grab a drink as an accessory for a riverfront stroll. Seasonal flavor variations on the beverage menu, as well as bolder combinations like the pineapple-cilantro margarita, will keep you coming back … or from leaving in the first place.

1 Rep. Walt Leger III (www.waltleger.com) For the third consecutive year, our readers chose the youthful House Speaker Pro Tempore, who represents parts of Uptown, Central City and the Garden District, as their favorite state legislator. Leger has a record to justify that selection — he champions fiscal responsibility, equal pay for women, improved flood protection and full funding for K-12 and higher education, among other important issues. He’s also one of the most respected and wellliked lawmakers in the Capitol.

The 37-year-old Leger was Gov. John Bel Edwards’ choice for House Speaker in January, but he narrowly lost that contest in a highly partisan vote. Immediately thereafter, however, he was re-elected Speaker Pro Tempore by a unanimous vote. Even in the No. 2 position, he remains one of the most effective members of the House.

So, voters: you want the current mayor to become a garbageman, presumably as an insult to him, and as his replacement you want to elect ... a garbageman. We can’t tell whether you’re being ironic or much kinder to the garbage business, or if you believe picking up trash is punishment to some and saintly for others. Torres, celebrity trash man and Trumpian real estate mogul, revealed in a 2016 Gambit cover story that he’s sort of thinking about making a run. Landrieu is finishing his final term. Who will fill the garbage vacuum?

local scandal

1 Irvin Mayfield library scandal This one went from local scandal to national story: When trumpeter Irvin Mayfield was chairman of the New Orleans Public Library Foundation, he transferred $863,000 of the foundation’s money to the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra (NOJO), where he also was a board member. That money helped build NOJO’s new home, the Peoples Health Jazz Market in Central City. Mayfield has resigned both positions and NOJO has promised to pay back some of the money, but revelations about Mayfield’s spending continue to trickle out, including an $18,000 five-night stay at the Ritz-Carlton in New York that featured a $1,435 breakfast.

Mayfield still isn’t talking, but his critics won’t be quiet. A group called Make NOJO Pay erected a billboard near the Jazz Market, and business cards with Mayfield’s image and the legend “BOYCOTT THIS THIEF” have shown up at events from Mardi Gras parades to the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, where someone festooned a for-sale rack of Mayfield’s CDs with the cards.

Meanwhile, WWL-TV’s David Hammer, who has been breaking news on the story for more than a year, reported in June that federal investigators have questioned some people close to the matter.

(www.610stompers.com) Who knew a troupe of men dancing in baby blue shorts and shiny red jackets would be such a turn-on for New Orleanians?

Well, the 610 Stompers have stolen everyone’s hearts — the dudes can bust some crazy synchronized moves — and can be seen in Mardi Gras parades, performing for fundraisers and touting bike and pedestrian safety in a past campaign for the Regional Planning Commission. The dancing group started in 2009 and has about 100 members from around the country.

The group says its foremost mission is to restore the love of dance, but it also has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charities. The Stompers’ outfits even inspired a new business: Robert Bruce, an original member of the 610 Stompers, created BRIX Apparel to produce well-fitting shorts for men with “athletic” thighs.

3. The Pussyfooters (www.pussyfooters.org)

New Orleanians never seem to tire of the 610 Stompers’ dynamic dance moves — and their charity work.

P H OTO B Y DERICK HINGLE

1 Drew Brees OK, people, listen up. Every year Drew Brees wins “Best Saints Player” and Anthony Davis wins “Best Pelicans Player.” So this year we thought we’d give some of the other guys a chance with a new category saluting the underrated talents on each team. So who won?

Breesus and the Brow.

Again. In what universe are Anthony Davis and Drew Brees underrated? But those were your choices, so we had to go with them.

In our minds, though, Jrue Holiday, Delvin Breaux and Mark Ingram are the ones getting the love here.

local radio host

1 Stevie G and Tpot, B97 (www.b97.com) “They got married so you don’t have to.” So says a promotional bump that sometimes bookends The Afternoon Swirl, Stevie G and Tpot’s long-running, chatty entertainment news and gossip show that airs from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays on B97. And it’s true: Half the fun of listening to the show is the ability to eavesdrop on the good-natured, literal old-married-couple bickering of its hosts, who reportedly met and got together while working at the radio station. In between Top 40 spins, catch Stevie G’s faux-exasperated sighs and pedantic explanations of the day’s hot takes to a cheerfully oblivious Tpot, as well as Tpot’s high-pitched but no less vociferous defenses of classic Britney Spears jams and her sweet stories about the antics of their young daughter. The show is a funny combination of inane and intimate, and its local emphasis is a nice change from the generic, nationally syndicated content that dominates much of radio. You won’t find hard-hitting discussion of the issues here, but by 5 p.m., who needs it?

No matter who wins the presidential election in November, winning a costume contest will be a cinch with the store’s abundant selection of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton costumes and masks … just in time for Halloween.

(130 Harrison Ave., 504-516-2770; www.shopswoonboutique.com) Once a boutique desert, Lakeview has in recent years become a boutique destination, with retailers like Swoon leading the charge. After only four months in business, this locally owned boutique beat out national chains to secure the coveted No. 1 spot. The bright, airy space features brands like Zoa, Wilt Apparel and Seven For All Mankind, as well as accessories by local designers including Brantley Cecilia. Though the prices fit a college student’s budget, Swoon’s appeal spans generations: Mothers and daughters often shop together.

GAMBIT’S BEST OF NEW ORLEANS 2016

(214 Royal St., 504-523-3341; www.hotelmonteleone.com) At the entrance to the Hotel Monteleone, a uniformed doorman will open the door for you, a welcome that signals the gravitas and glamour of this old-world property. From a rooftop pool overlooking CBD skyscrapers to the warm, golden glow of the iconic Carousel Bar, everything about the hotel embodies grandeur and a too-rare admiration for history. In the bar, generations of New Orleanians and their out-of-town guests have made slow revolutions around a cadre of bartenders serving the city’s classic cocktails. If you close your eyes, you can almost see them mixing those same Sazeracs and Vieux Carres for the hotel’s literary guests (Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner and Tennessee Williams) of decades past. (Truman Capote used to boast he was born there; he wasn’t.)

It isn’t all old news at the hotel — in particular, its restaurant has been through changes and updates in recent years, becoming the Creole-inspired Criollo in its latest iteration — and the Carousel Bar was expanded as part of a renovation a few years back. But these changes feel like natural extensions of the 19th-century building, and the hotel remains one of the best places to raise a glass to New Orleans as it was.

locally owned bridal shop

1 Southern Bridal (1200 W. Causeway Approach, Suite 9, Mandeville, 985-727-2993; www.southernbridal.net) Southern Bridal is a bit of a misnomer. It’s not that the boutique doesn’t have racks and racks of diaphanous white designer bridal gowns — it’s just that gowns are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the gown, tuxedo and accessory destination’s inventory.

Southern Bridal can outfit every single person at the wedding, from the flower girl and ring bearer to the guests, groomsmen, mother of the bride and others. There also are frequent sales during which bridal gowns are priced as low as $199 and there’s a $25 sale rack — practically unheard of in the wedding industry.

1 Peaches Records (4318 Magazine St., 504-282-3322; www.peachesrecordsandtapes.com) I remember biking to Peaches about 20 years ago to buy my first cassette tape (Whitney Houston) when the store was still on Gentilly Boulevard. The showroom was so small I think it was cooled by a single window air-conditioning unit and was practically bursting at the seams with new and used tapes and vinyl, as well as band posters documenting many genres of music (Vanilla Ice was on the wall too, although I doubt anyone will admit to that). Peaches has grown since then and it’s new store Uptown has 15,000 square feet of space to display CDs, swag emblazoned with Peaches’ distinctive logo and even more cool-again vinyl. The new location once was a Woolworths with a 1940s lunch counter, and Peaches is trying to raise enough money to buy the lunch counter and reopen it. The store also plans to host live music.

(701 Metairie Road, Metairie, Suite 101-AA, 504324-9321; 1814 N. Causeway Blvd., Suite 8, Mandeville, 985-674-7577; 3923 Magazine St., 504-3422208; www.purebare.com) Pure Barre has amassed a cult-like following — if you’re not yet among the devotees, here are a few things to expect at your first class. Thing one: you’ll spend 55 minutes moving your “seat” (barre-talk for bottom) a fraction of an inch at a time, until lactic acid strangles your glutes into a quivering mass of defeated muscle fibers. Thing two: Participants wear leggings — even when it’s hot outside — and these weird, grippy socks. Thing three: Even though it’s so tempting to hate barre classes for the aforementioned reasons, you do so at your own detriment—because they actually work. The website promises longer, leaner muscles “in just 10 classes” and classes deliver results, spawning the lean-bodied, flexible corps that catapulted Pure Barre into first place.

DESPITE A DEDICATED TOUR FOLLOWING AND AN UNFLAGGING DISCOGRAPHY, Futurebirds have yet to make the same impact on record as they do in person. If the lack • Aug. 26 of a visceral and/or visual connection has • 9 p.m. Friday dissuaded listeners from taking the hourlong trip through one of its three LPs, the Athens, • Gasa Gasa Georgia band has one recent solution to • 4920 Freret St. both problems: a live three-track session for • (504) 338-3567 OurVinyl’s TV series that excerpts 15 of the best minutes off 2015’s Hotel Parties (Easy • www.gasagasa.com Sound). The first two hooks, “Twentyseven” and “Paranoia Letters,” show off the distinctly complementary styles of separated-at-birth singer/songwriters Thomas Johnson and Carter King. They’re given room to breathe by “Rodeo,” a mid-album bucking by guitarist Daniel Womack that offers a third look at Futurebirds’ malleable sound, something like Kurt Vile rambling down a potholed gravel road. It’s enough talent for three bands wrapped up in one under-appreciated package — and another access point for one of country rock’s most generous acts. Justin Peter Kinkel-Schuster and Notel Motel open.

IT HAS BEEN ARGUED THAT ALL WESTERNS SHARE A SINGLE, UNDERLYING TOPIC: THE IMPENDING LOSS OF THE WEST. A cowboy riding the prairie alone or struggling to protect his secluded ranch may seem threatened by bandits or vengeful natives. But all he really has to fear is the looming disappearance of the open • Directed by David Mackenzie frontier and the mythic dreams of personal freedom it long inspired. That’s why • Starring Jeff Bridges, most Westerns feel like elegies even when the good guys come out on top.

Chris Pine, Ben Foster Scottish director David Mackenzie’s brilliant Hell or High Water is far from a traditional Western — it deftly blends that genre with elements of crime thrillers, buddy and Gil Birmingham pictures and road movies — but you wouldn’t know it from its aching, all-too-fa• Limited release miliar sense of loss. Set in the post-financial-crisis West Texas of the present day, Mackenzie’s film portrays a ragged, economically depressed small-town America no longer hungering for prosperity but for mere survival. All social contracts have been broken, and the American Dream is nowhere in sight. Though it involves a series of bank robberies, the story’s only real villains are the loan officers sitting comfortably Occupy West Texas. in banks’ executive suites.

The first thing viewers see in Hell or High Water is graffiti on the back wall of a small-town bank that reads, “Three tours in Iraq but no bailouts for people like us.”

Local businesses display signs reading “Closing Down” and “Debt Relief.” Two very different brothers, Toby (Chris Pine, Capt. James T. Kirk in the last two Star Trek movies) and Tanner Howard (Ben Foster, 3:10 to Yuma), arrive too early at the bank to commit a robbery in the style they imagined. Their lack of professionalism betrays their status as thieves of circumstance. That same bank loaned their recently deceased mother “just enough money to keep her poor” and put itself in a position to seize the family ranch upon her death.

The bank has branches scattered across West Texas, a fact that eludes neither the bank-robbing brothers nor haggard Texas Ranger Marcus Hamilton (Jeff Bridges) and his partner Alberto (Gil Birmingham, Netflix’s House of Cards). The result is a game of cat and mouse and an inevitable confrontation, even as we root for all four characters somehow to prevail. Pine and Foster share a chemistry not often enjoyed by on-screen brothers, and Bridges hits all the right notes as a world-weary lawman not looking forward to his upcoming retirement. Both sets of partners communicate the moral complexities of their shared predicament without benefit of much explicit dialogue along those lines.

Mackenzie (Starred Up) brings an outsider’s sharp eye to a world still running on the fumes of its own mythology and receives valuable help from screenwriter and native Texan Taylor Sheridan (Sicario). It’s a minimalist film with spare dialogue and sudden bursts of humor. The desolate beauty of its setting generates a special vibe completed by Nick Cave’s and Warren Ellis’ typically haunting score. But the soundtrack runs on an abundance of Texas-made and -inspired songs, beginning with Townes Van Zandt and Ray Wylie Hubbard before leaping forward in time to Scott H. Biram and honorary Texans Colter Wall and Gillian Welch.

A strong sense of time and place is key to any good genre movie, and Hell or High Water is no exception. But this particular time and place seems to belong to all of us. It may be the first time we’ve seen the unique strains and pressures of today’s world fully depicted on screen, and that alone feels like some kind of progress. — KEN KORMAN

mean fat checks, but for artists, paper is a medium that lends itself to easy experimentation and dissemination. Works on paper often are more affordable, but for those of us who just like looking at art, the paper trail can provide the most insightful view of an artist’s creative process. As fragile and ephemeral as thoughts, paper is the most intimate of media, and if the artists’ names in this Ogden Museum of Southern Art exhibition can seem improbably varied, the show itself is surprisingly cohesive for the way it constitutes a cross section of the interwoven visual culture of this region over time.

Mississippi’s greatest visual artist, Walter Anderson, was born and raised in New Orleans but spent his adult life in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, where his penetrating watercolor studies like Thistle, 1955, expressed an incisive, near-psychedelic mysticism. After a teaching stint in New York with his protege, Thomas Hart Benton,

Mississippi native John McCrady’s lyrically Faulknerian vision, seen in drawings such as Mississippi Family, 1945, helped make him one of New Orleans’ most influential artists of the mid 19th century. New Orleans native Willie Birch also found fame in New York with papier mache sculptures like Going Home, 1992, and later with local mural-size drawings like The Wedding, a ceremonial scene that suggests a seamless continuity with our ancient West African heritage. That legacy was eloquently evident in the work of the late local genius, Jeffrey Cook, whose large installation, Makin’ of a Melody (pictured), amounts to a syncopated spirit house composition of colorful talismanic objects.

Cook celebrated the magic of ordinary New Orleans people and things, all of which became spiritual components of his

FOR THOSE WHO REVEL IN THE SHEER OUTRAGEOUSNESS OF ROCK MUSIC, Lizzie, may be fulfilling fare, but if you’re seeking well-developed characters enacting • Aug. 25-28 a thrilling and horrifying story, the See ’Em • 8 p.m. Thu.-Sun. On Stage production of the murderous musical falls dramatically short.

• The New Orleans Art Center, However well-intentioned, the creative 3330 St. Claude Ave. choice of venue — the cavernous New (504) 383-4765; www.seosaOrleans Art Center — makes it almost impossible to follow the narrative. While productioncompany.com lyrics are incidental to many rock songs, they are critical in a musical, and here the PHOTO BY GARY MICHAEL SMITH audience must strain to understand exactly what is happening. Despite the performers’ hand-held and headset microphones, the band positioned onstage is too dominant and distracts from the action. Musicians performing on the same plane as the actors is a good example of an interesting idea that undermines the purpose of the show.

The story of Lizzie Borden, a 19th-century Massachusetts woman who became notorious after being accused of axe-murdering her father and stepmother, is a well-known tale. Borden’s motivation for her alleged killings, however, is not clearly understood and that is the secret this show might have revealed.

On the positive side, all four female vocalists have tremendously powerful voices, which sustain the audience’s attention. Sisters Lizzie (Leslie L. Claverie) and Emma (Idella Johnson) are particularly forceful. Claverie’s rendition of “This Is Not Love,” in which she discloses the sordid nature of the paternal relationship, is a high point of the show. Abbey P. Murrell is effective as the maniacal maid Bridget. Instrumentalists (including Travis Henthorn on drums, Steven Kennedy on guitar, Taylor Mroski on bass and Gary Washington on cello) provide rhythmic dynamism, even if their volume could have been turned down by a third. The raw space of the art center, which has visible pipes and ducts overhead, creates a bleak atmosphere. Pulsating lights lend the feeling of a rock concert. At times, one can get caught up in a kind of Victorian-girls-gone-wild aesthetic, particularly during the cleverly choreographed “Questions Questions.”

On the minus side, there is very little acting. It can be difficult to sing and act at the same time, but that is what must occur to engage the audience emotionally.

Anyone who has experienced an effective Shakespeare play has seen how useful body language can be in conveying meaning when language is arcane. Purposeful movement using the entire stage and between characters would have helped greatly to create the necessary tension, leading to a climax.

Lizzie inspires neither our sympathy nor revulsion, because we don’t see or feel the hatred for her father. She and her friend Alice (Kali Russell) seem too nice to be associated with a heinous crime. Emma, however, projects real angst that mirrors the angry music she sings. Had all four actresses performed at Johnson’s level of intensity, the brutality of the acts would have been more believable.

On the level of pure musical entertainment, with musical direction by Ainsley Matich, Lizzie is successful as a concert, but falls short as real theater.

— MARY RICKARD
