BY WILL COVIELLO SEATTLE-BASED DIRECTOR VALERIE CURTIS-NEWTON has worked in

New Orleans before. She directed Yellowman in 2004 and Shotgun in 2009 for Southern Rep. (She also was scheduled to direct Stop Kiss, for which she held auditions a week before Hurricane Katrina arrived. It never was produced.) Part of John Biguenet’s trilogy about Hurricane Katrina and the federal floods, Shotgun involves a black family and a white family who live in adjoining halves of a shotgun double during the city’s recovery. Curtis-Newton was intrigued by the experience. “I really liked the way the balance of audience was a diverse mix of people,” Shotgun was interesting she says. “Shotgun because it has black people and white people together talking about the effects of the storm and the levees breaking. The audience was super diverse. I really enjoyed that about the audience here.” In the wake of the removal of monuments to the Confederacy and its military leaders, Curtis-Newton is back to direct another timely drama. Suzan-Lori Parks’ Father Comes Home From the Wars (Parts 1, 2 & 3) is about a slave offered a rare chance at selfdetermination. While the Confederacy is fighting to preserve the institution of slavery, Hero’s owner, Colonel (“Boss master” to the slaves), offers him his freedom if he’ll follow Colonel to war and help the Confederacy. Colonel gives Hero a Confederate uniform while he decides. Hero (Sam Malone) has been a bit more privileged than his fellow slaves, and they’re not sure what he will do. Hero would have to leave his love, Penny (Idella Johnson), and his elderly father (Harold X. Evans). The group gathers before dawn to talk about Hero’s choice, and they cut up a little in

Revolution: A Prince Celebration

the modern language and slang Parks uses in the play. One slave is willing to bet his spoon that Hero will go. Another is willing to bet a button he won’t. Homer (Robert Diago DoQui) tried to run away, but he was caught and maimed as punishment. He thinks Hero should go — and run away when he gets near the Union Army. Hero has his own view. He doesn’t want to “steal” his freedom. If he goes, he wants Boss master to live up to his promise. “I love the idea of the exploration of freedom,” Curtis-Newton says. “What it means. What you’ll do to get it. Who you’ll become when you have it. … What does the fight for freedom look like.” The play is not a period piece. The language is contemporary, and at times characters address the audience. It also has other references, including names that invoke Homer’s epics and Ulysses’ return from the Trojan War. (Curtis-Newton notes that Parks was a military brat whose father served in the Vietnam War.)

The work also relates to another historical marker, a celebration of the end of slavery. “The holiday that AfricanAmericans call Juneteenth is the underpinning of the play,” CurtisNewton says. “The idea is that you’re free but you don’t even know you’re free.”

The number of major hurricanes (Category 3 and above) expected this year during the Atlantic hurricane season.

2-4 THE 2017 ATLANTIC HURRICANE SEASON is likely to be above normal in terms of activity, NOAA announced last week in its annual forecast of activity. NOAA scientists forecast 11 to 17 named storms, with five to nine of them becoming hurricanes and two to four becoming major hurricanes. The historical average is 12 named storms. In a statement, NOAA’s Gerry Bell said, “The outlook reflects our expectation of a weak or non-existent El Nino, near- or above-average sea-surface temperatures across the tropical Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, and average or weaker-than-average vertical wind shear in that same region.” The Atlantic hurricane season begins June 1 and ends Nov. 30, though this year saw the first storm (Tropical Storm Arlene) develop in midApril. — KEVIN ALLMAN SOURCE: NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION’S (NOAA) CLIMATE PREDICTION CENTER.

I-10 News on the move

1. MINIMUM WAGE BILL KILLED IN STATE SENATE COMMITTEE

The state Senate Finance Committee, buttressed by warnings that any mandated increase in the state minimum wage could cost jobs, killed a bill last week that would have raised the state’s minimum wage from the federal minimum of $7.25 to $8 in 2018, and to $8.50 in 2019. The vote was 7-3. Both the debate and voting on Senate Bill 153 by state Sen. Troy Carter, D-New Orleans, fell along party lines. Most Republicans argued businesses would make up for the increased expense by eliminating low-wage jobs or raising the cost of products. “Instead of trying to raise the wage that could drive jobs away, we should be focusing on our economy,” said state Sen. Conrad Appel, R-Metairie. “If you raise the minimum wage, you might be jeopardizing those very jobs that earn that $7.25.” Washington, D.C. and 28 other states have a minimum wage higher than the federal minimum of $7.25. About 85,000 Louisianans would have received a pay raise had Carter’s bill passed, according to the Economic Policy Institute. Carter said 78 percent of Louisianans believe the minimum wage should be higher. “The old adage of ‘pull yourself up by your bootstraps’ — what if you don’t have any boots?” Carter asked. “We need to show people that we don’t live in these ivory towers where we’re sanitized from the issues our community deals with,” he added. “I’m going to take this bill up every year until it gets done.”— MATT HOUSTON | MANSHIP SCHOOL NEWS SERVICE

2. Quote of the week “Definitely not a health care bill. An embarrassment in its blatant and selfish disregard for the most vulnerable citizens of our nation.” — Dr. Rebekah Gee, head of the Louisiana Department of Health & Hospitals, responding to a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) analysis of the GOP health care bill that passed the U.S. House of Represen-

tatives earlier this month. The CBO estimated it would leave 23 million fewer Americans without health care by 2026, as opposed to the current Affordable Care Act. U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy, a Republican and a critic of the GOP health care bill, told CNN, “We have to, if you will, fulfill President [Donald] Trump’s campaign promise. And his campaign promise was to cover all continuing care for those with pre-exist-

ing conditions and eliminating mandates and lowering premiums and by that analysis, the latest plan doesn’t address that.”

3. Domestic abuse

law that would have included samesex couples fails in state Senate

The state’s domestic abuse laws will continue to exclude

same-sex couples after a bill to extend the law’s protections failed in a 17-14 Senate vote. But the measure may not be dead. House Bill 27 by State Rep. Patrick Connick, R-Marrero, proposed striking “of the opposite sex” from the law’s definition of a household member to extend domestic abuse protections — such as sentencing enhancements for abusers and greater protections for victims — to same-sex couples. Currently the law only applies to married couples, whether same-sex or heterosexual, and heterosexual couples who are cohabiting. Connick said lawmakers tend to shy away from LGBT issues, and some always will oppose the bill, but ultimately this is a question of the constitutionality of Louisiana’s domestic abuse statute and an important legal move for the state. Once senators are made aware of the situation, Connick believes he can get the six votes needed for passage. Seven senators — including five Democrats, three of whom are from the New Orleans area (Sens. Wesley Bishop, Troy Carter and J.P. Morrell) — were absent for the initial vote. “You’ve got haters that you’re never going to get changed on it, but overall I think we have the message to say to people this is not a dangerous vote,” he said. “This is one that can help a lot of people and it’s needed in our law.” — SARAH GAMARD | MANSHIP SCHOOL NEWS SERVICE

Senate to consider domestic abuse laws for dating partners A Louisiana Senate Judiciary Committee last week favorably dispatched to the full Senate for final debate a bill that would provide dating partners the same protection afforded spouses. Dating partners involved in domestic abuse cases can be charged only with simple battery under current law. Domestic abuse battery carries more severe penalties. Louisiana is one of nine states where domestic abuse law does not recognize dating partners and does not grant them the same

protection as spouses. House Bill 223, by State Rep. Helena Moreno, D-New Orleans, creates a new section of law for dating partners, which is the same as the domestic spousal abuse law, except it does not ban the guilty dating partner from owning a firearm for 10 years. The presence of a firearm in an abusive relationship increases the chances of a homicide by about 500 percent, according to the Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence. Moreno’s bill would trigger a federal ban on firearm possession for more intense acts of violence, such as burning or strangling the victim, or for repeat offenders.

5. Landrieu: New Orle-

ans not a ‘sanctuary city’

Mayor Mitch Landrieu said New Orleans “is not and has never been a sanctuary city” following last week’s memo from U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions clarifying President Donald Trump’s executive order to crack down on so-called “sanctuary” policies prohibiting local cops from working with federal immigration authorities. Sessions’ definition of “sanctuary” policies appears to keep New Orleans out of federal scrutiny, for now. “It appears that the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security heard the call from mayors and police chiefs — that our local police should be focused on fighting violent crime and building trust with the communities they serve,” Landrieu said in a statement. According to Sessions, the term “sanctuary jurisdiction” will refer only to jurisdictions that “willfully refuse” to comply with 8 U.S.C. 1373, a statute that prevents state and local governments from enacting law or policies that limit cooperation with the feds. But Sessions says that “narrow” definition won’t necessarily mean municipalities are off the hook from additional review.

Cassidy to hold town hall in Covington May 31 U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy will hold a town hall in Covington

works being made in New Orleans or specifically for Prospect.4. John Akomfrah, who was born in Ghana and lives in London, will make a film about Buddy Bolden for the expo, Schoonmaker says. Prospect New Orleans was launched as an international art biennial by curator Cameron in response to Hurricane Katrina and the levee failures, and it drew critical acclaim around the world. Franklin Sirmans curated Prospect.3, which opened in 2014. It drew 100,000 attendees.

7. Landrieu to Nungesser:

9. “March for Truth”

We’ll handle our own statues, thanks

On May 22, Louisiana Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser met with Mayor Mitch Landrieu to request the state’s control over the fate of the city’s four recently removed Confederate-era monuments. But Landrieu deferred to the city’s request for proposals (RFP) process, which Landrieu announced the night before crews removed the statue of Robert E. Lee from Lee Circle May 19. “The Lieutenant Governor asked that we simply give him the monuments to run a process of his own,” Landrieu said in a statement. “I welcomed the Lieutenant Governor to be a part of the RFP process we have outlined and look forward to getting formal ideas the state has to share about how to place the Confederate statues in proper historical context.” City officials said the RFP process would open the week following the monuments’ removal.

8. Prospect.4 details announced

Prospect.4, the fourth installment of the international contemporary art expo founded by Dan Cameron, will open Nov. 18 and run through Feb. 25, 2018. Trevor Schoonmaker, head curator at Duke University’s Nasher Museum of Art, is the artistic director of Prospect.4. He released the names of 73 artists selected for the triennial and previewed the expo in remarks at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art last week. Work will be displayed at 17 venues, including museum spaces such as the Ogden, the New Orleans Museum of Art and the Contemporary Arts Center, as well as in public spaces such as the Lafitte Greenway, Crescent Park and Algiers Point. The expo will include 32

at City Hall June 3

A “March for Truth” — asking for an independent commission investigation of President Donald Trump’s possible collusion with Russian interests, along with a demand he release his federal tax returns — is set for more than 70 cities on Saturday, June 3. The New Orleans march will begin at 11 a.m. in front of New Orleans City Hall (1300 Perdido St.). For more information, visit www.marchfortruth.info. The New Orleans People’s Assembly also meets that day at 11 a.m. at Crescent City Boxing Gym (3101 Erato St.). It is hosted by organizers of the J20 rally for racial and class solidarity that was held in New Orleans Inauguration Day.

The end of the weekly Hustle After more than a decade of dance parties, DJ Soul Sister (aka Melissa Weber) ended her weekly Hustle show at Hi-Ho Lounge May 27. “I might change my mind in a couple years, but right now, every Saturday is out,” she told Gambit. “I’m not afraid of change and this is what it is.” Hustle will return as a semi-regular event, beginning 11 p.m. Saturday, June 24 at The Orpheum Theater’s below-ground space, The Ice Pit. Weber also will preside over a monthly “Soulful Takeover” show beginning Friday, July 7 at One Eyed Jacks. She also will continue to host the weekly Soul Power show at 8 p.m. Saturdays on WWOZ-FM. Weber presides over two Prince-related events in June. She hosts the second annual “Revolution: A Prince Celebration,” kicking off Prince’s birthday weekend at 10 p.m. Friday, June 2, as well as Prince Day at the Catahoula Hotel, beginning 5 p.m. Wednesday, June 7.

May 31 at 9:30 a.m. Cassidy has emerged as one of the most prominent GOP critics of the American Health Care Act (AHCA) passed by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives in March, and was further critical of the AHCA after the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) last week found that sick and older Americans would be paying much more out of pocket if the ACHA becomes law. The town hall will be held in the St. Tammany Parish School Board facility at 321 N. Theard Street in downtown Covington.

The lion who never roared Attorney, political consultant and lobbyist Bill Broadhurst was the ultimate insider. He had no equal at his craft.

THE OLD POLITICAL LIONS ARE LEAVING US, ONE BY ONE. Each

one’s passing leaves a void that cannot be filled — and reminds us that we won’t see their kind again. We lost another lion on May 22, when attorney, consultant, political strategist and lobbyist Bill Broadhurst died at his home in Crowley. He was 77. In addition to the many hats Billy wore so well, he also was my friend. As a political insider, he taught me a great deal about Louisiana politics. As a trusted friend, he taught me just as much about life. In the end, we both learned that the lessons of politics truly are the lessons of life, because the same things matter in both arenas: relationships, respect, trust, honor, loyalty. In the great game of politics, Bill Broadhurst was the ultimate insider. He shunned the spotlight, yet he shone in the quiet corners and in the closed meeting rooms where big decisions were made. A lawyer first and foremost, Bill never lost his cool in the midst of a crisis. To him, problems were merely puzzles awaiting solutions. The knottier the problem, the more he loved unraveling it. He had no equal at his craft. Bill’s friends ran the gamut from high-ranking D.C. politicians to working-class Cajuns. As much as he loved untangling a complex issue, he loved diving into a juicy burger or sharing a plate of fried oysters with friends even more. I first met Bill in 1983, when I covered Edwin Edwards’ successful run for an unprecedented third full term as governor. I noticed that whenever TV cameras turned to EWE, a host of hangers-on would crowd around him angling for a slice of the limelight — but one guy always deftly shied away. Afterward, Edwards inevitably huddled with that guy in the shadows. That guy was “Billy B.” I made it my business to get to know him, never intending to strike up a decades-long friendship. Truth is, reporters and politicos aren’t supposed to be friends. Our interests too often collide. In the end, it’s just

too difficult — and ultimately not worth it. But Bill made it easy, and well worth it. “I promise I’ll never lie to you,” he told me. “But there will be times when I just won’t be able to talk. If you’ll respect that, I’ll always tell you everything I can.” And on those occasions when our duties collided, he always said, “Do what you have to do. We’ll still be friends when it’s over.” He kept his word. I wasn’t the only media guy Bill befriended. Our mutual friend, former NBC national political correspondent Ken Bode, emailed me when he learned of Bill’s passing. “We developed a bond of trust and respect,” Bode wrote. “Over many years, whenever my professional business brought me to Louisiana, my first appointment was with Bill Broadhurst. ... I came to think of him as a man with an extra political gene, who could, and would, tell it to me straighter and deeper than anyone else.” “He was very loyal to his friends and very helpful, and you could always count on him,” said former Gov. Edwards, who undoubtedly knew Bill better than anyone. Former Republican consultant Bill Kearney, also a close friend, called Bill “a political giant and a political genius.” Bill Broadhurst was the one lion who never roared. He didn’t need to — anyone who knew anything about Louisiana politics would gladly stand in line just to hear him whisper.

COMMENTARY

Anybody here seen our old friend John (Kennedy)? SHORTLY AFTER TAKING OFFICE IN JANUARY, U.S.

Sen. John Kennedy told The New York Times, “There’s this feeling among many in America that it’s harder than ever to get ahead in our country, that it’s easier than ever to do nothing. There’s a feeling that the people in Washington don’t listen and they don’t care. ... And they want something done about it. They’re entitled to be listened to and heard.” We agree, which is why we’re puzzled that it’s so difficult for constituents to catch Kennedy’s ear these days. Consider this: • During Senate recesses in February and April, Kennedy held no town hall meetings in Louisiana — unlike Sen. Bill Cassidy, who met constituents (and braved some fury) in Metairie in February. Unhappy with Kennedy’s seeming unwillingness to meet the public, constituents held a protest on the steps of the Hale Boggs Federal Building in March (with Kennedy’s face on a “missing” milk carton) and another in April at the First Unitarian Universalist Church, where voters asked questions of an effigy of the senator. A similar gathering was held in Baton Rouge on the LSU campus. • Kennedy finally held what he called a “radio town hall” with WWLAM’s Garland Robinette in early May, but Sen. Kennedy has yet to hold a face-to-face town hall anywhere in Louisiana. • As of late last week, Kennedy’s official Senate website had no email directory of staffers — just a generic contact form. A full list of staffers and contact info, including the names of those who handle constituent services, would go a long way toward helping constituents who have difficulty navigating the maze of federal bureaucracies. • Unlike Cassidy (and previous Sens. Mary Landrieu and David Vitter), Kennedy has yet to open an office in southeast Louisiana or in Baton Rouge.

some of the area offices established by his predecessor, Vitter. We also recognize that opening new Senate offices outside the Beltway undoubtedly involves its own maze of bureaucratic delays — but that’s all the more reason for Kennedy to hold face-to-face town hall meetings with his constituents in every corner of the state. With or without a local office, the senator could have held town hall meetings in any of the state’s many parish courthouses or city halls. There’s simply no excuse

Sen. Kennedy has yet to hold a face-to-face town hall anywhere in Louisiana. for Kennedy not facing his constituents, particularly when so much is happening in Washington. President Donald Trump’s first budget would slash Medicaid by more than $800 billion over the next 10 years and make drastic cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, or food stamps). It shifts more fiscal responsibility to the states and would make it harder for workers to get disability benefits under Social Security. In other words, it would adversely affect many Louisianans. These and other issues are on the minds of Louisiana voters, and they deserve the chance to speak their minds to both of their U.S. senators.

Hey Blake, My curiosity prompts me to ask you about the tower under construction at the Sewerage and Water Board facility on South Claiborne Avenue. What is the structure and why is it needed? LEE

Dear Lee, That huge tower, which will be visible from South Claiborne Avenue, and another one closer to the rear of the Sewerage and Water Board’s (S&WB) Carrollton Water Treatment Facility, are designed to prevent what is a common occurrence in New Orleans: a boil water advisory. According to The New Orleans Advocate, each of the twin 200-foot-tall towers will be able to hold up to 2 million gallons of water. In the event of a loss of electrical power, the city says water from these towers will surge into the system to prevent loss of pressure, which normally is what triggers a boil-water advisory. The elevated tanks are designed to complement two new ground-level tanks and allow pressure to be maintained for up to 45 minutes, even if the water

system loses power. The $48 million project, which is funded by FEMA, is expected to be finished next year. The tanks will be slightly shorter than the chimney already located at the S&WB Claiborne Avenue facility, but they still would be among the tallest structures in New Orleans outside of downtown.

BLAKEVIEW WITH LOTS OF TALK ABOUT MONUMENTS recently, and with Memorial Day

this week, I thought we’d revisit the history of a statue that honors not just one person but an entire group who has served our country: female Marines. The statue of Molly Marine, as she is known, was erected in 1943, the year the U.S. Marine Corps first accepted women. The statue sits near the corner of Canal Street and Elks Place in the neutral ground across from the Joy Theater. The 12-foot statue was the work of noted sculptor Enrique Alferez, whose public art is well-known in New Orleans City Park and at Lakefront Airport. Alferez based the statue on likenesses of four female Marines, as well as a professional model named Judy Mosgrove. “Molly” was created as a tribute to the women who served in World War II and continue to serve in the U.S. Marine Corps. It was the first statue of a woman in military uniform erected in the United States. Because of the wartime restriction on the use of metals, the statue was made of cast concrete, but in 1966 it was bronzed. Replicas of the statue are located at Marine bases in Quantico, Virginia and Parris Island, South Carolina.

WHAT’S IN STORE

BY PADMINI PARTHASARATHY

HUSBAND AND WIFE DRS. KRISTINA BARREIRO-ROBERTSON AND TAYLOR ROBERTSON are the podiatrists behind NOLA Sole Podiatry (1477 Louisiana Ave., Suite 101, 504-302-1586; www.nolasolepodiatry.com), a practice that treats New Orleans residents’ foot ailments. “Podiatry is basically the medicine of anything below the knee,” Barreiro-Robertson says. “We take care of anything that’s sports related, congenital or idiopathic, (which is) something that somebody has developed over time.” The Robertsons emphasize that feet must be considered when it comes to overall health. Podiatry is one of the few medical professions that can deliver immediate results, often relieving pain or discomfort in just one visit. “It’s a very rewarding and fulfilling field because the majority of the patients who come to see us feel better after they come to see us,” Robertson says. “One of our mottos is ‘Limp in, but walk out.’” Though medical technology has advanced, podiatry is still a tactile and intimate specialization, requiring physicians to use their hands in diagnosis and treatment. “There’s also an old-school aspect to our profession,” Robertson says. “Whereas a lot of surgeries are moving toward robots and highly specialized machines that are performing these procedures, we’re still treating a lot of the things that we do with our hand skills, the same way we did half a century ago.” Taylor and Kristina met in medical school, at Barry University in Miami. They chose podiatry as their specialization and bonded over their shared passion. “I got into podiatry because I had a lot of sports-related injuries in my feet from being a dancer, and getting treated multiple times by my regular doctor wasn’t doing it for me, so someone suggested a podiatrist and that’s how I healed up my feet,” Barreiro-Robertson says. Some people try to push through the pain or find home remedies, but the Robertsons strongly advise people to come in for professional treatment. “There’s a significant number of the population that believes that minor amounts of foot pain or discomfort is just everyday wearand-tear and normal,” Robertson says. “That’s not true at all. Foot

pain is not normal and it can be corrected, so that’s something to emphasize. If you’re having foot pain, there’s something going on that’s not right.” Podiatry works best as preventive medicine. Diabetics and people who are at risk of falling and fracturing their hips should consider seeing a podiatrist regularly. Diabetics must be proactive to avoid calluses, which can lead to foot ulcers and bone infections. People who are at risk for falls can get custom bracing to minimize that risk. Proper shoes also can prevent foot issues down the line.

“There’s been (a trend) of these designer shoe brands that are flashy and look cute but they don’t serve very many functions or the biomechanics of your foot,” Barreiro-Robertson says. Most important, the doctors at NOLA Sole stress that people should not ignore foot pain. “We get people that come in once it’s so painful. We try to remind them that their feet are the tires of the human body,” Barreiro-Robertson says. “They hold your entire body weight, so they definitely need to be checked on regularly.”

Poke, man

Open Basil

Poke Loa focuses on popular Hawaiian fish dish BY H E L E N F R E U N D @helenfreund IT’S HARD TO DENY THAT SOME TRENDS take a bit longer to infiltrate

New Orleans, including many of the healthy eating fads taking the West and East coasts by storm. New Orleanians are proud of indulgences and for very good reason, but every now and then a trend comes along so pervasive — and so persuasive — it’s hard to pass up. Enter poke, the cubed fish dish that’s popping up all over the country by way of Hawaii. (Bon Appetit featured it on the cover of its February issue.) While poke has made a few appearances on New Orleans’ menus (CellarDoor and Cavan both offer takes on it), Poke Loa on Magazine Street is the first restaurant to focus on the raw fish dish. Found at grocery stores and surf shacks all over Hawaii, the dish traditionally featured reef fish marinated in soy and sesame oil mixed with seaweed and kukui nuts. Since making it to the mainland, the dish has been interpreted by chefs across the country, incorporating different fish and toppings in both upscale and casual settings. Poke Loa is a casual spot with a Chipotle-style assembly line model, with an array of bases, proteins, “mix-ins,” marinades and toppings. For the protein choices, tuna, yellowtail and salmon all fare well, but the octopus is chewy and fishy. I also liked the tofu, which tasted like it was marinated in tamari and sesame oil and had a nice texture with a slightly salty, umami flavor. The spicy tuna is what you’d find wrapped in a sushi roll: a fine mix fiery with chili paste and green onions. As a base, there’s a choice of white or brown rice or mixed greens. The

brown rice is my favorite, carrying a nutty and sweet flavor that gave each of the bowls a more substantial feel than the other options. Though the restaurant’s concept is a choose-your-own model, there also are a few signature bowls on the menu. The salmon bowl is topped with chunks of the fatty fish, avocado, strips of silky seaweed and a mayonnaise-heavy imitation crab salad. Bright green edamame and cucumber slices add crunch while sweet, pickled onion strips intermingle with chili paste and sesame oil for an addictively slick and spicy emulsion. The lemon aioli binding the mix adds a creamy touch. I wasn’t excited by the wasabi tobiko topping the bowl, which tasted nothing of wasabi — or really of anything at all. I yearned for some salty Cajun bowfin caviar instead, which would have added a welcome touch of brine and funk. The vegetable bowl is full of color, texture and flavor. Brown rice and thick hunks of tofu get soaked in tamari, chili paste and sesame oil and are topped with seaweed, onions, edamame, cucumber and thick avocado slices. Bright pink slivers of pickled ginger add color and kick,

and mango chunks add a sweet, juicy element. Wasabi aioli provides a spicy nudge. A regular size bowl includes two scoops of protein ($11.50) and is enough to sate a hungry person’s appetite. The large bowl ($13.50) includes three scoops, and the restaurant’s King Loa bowl ($15.50) features a whopping four scoops of protein and a grocery list of toppings. The massive bowl is a nice way to sample a lot of what the menu has to offer, but it also feels like overkill. The various flavors and textures can get muddled and lost in the mix. Poke Loa quickly blossomed into popularity, especially with lunchtime patrons, and it doesn’t feel too early to say: Poke is here to stay. Email Helen Freund at helensfreund@gmail.com

fast-casual Magazine Street spot brings the poke craze to New Orleans

last month, but owners Lindsey Jo Vasquez and husband and chef Robert Vasquez plan to open two restaurants in the Warehouse District by mid-summer. Briquette will open at 701 S. Peters St. and will spotlight contemporary coastal cuisine. “The big focus with Briquette is highlighting Louisiana seafood,” Lindsey says. “We’ll have a giant grill and all different types of seafood and fish.” The restaurant will include a long bar and seating for approximately 180 people. The space is part of The Refinery building, named for the Rodd Bros. Molasses Refinery, which occupied the structure when it was built in the 1800s. Lindsey says there will be a few dishes and drinks that pay homage to the building’s history, including a molasses Manhattan. Briquette will serve lunch and dinner. In a smaller space at 719 S. Peters St., the couple will open an offshoot of Opal Basil. Lindsey says it will be a casual neighborhood cafe that will serve breakfast, lunch and small plates, including salads, sandwiches and flatbreads. Robert will run the kitchens at both spots. He is a veteran chef who started working in fine dining in Scottsdale, Arizona, and has cooked all over the world, including stints in Spain, Singapore, Bermuda and San Diego, California. Opal Basil likely will open a few weeks after Briquette. — HELEN FREUND

EAT+DRINK Toya Boudy CHEF CHEF TOYA BOUDY (www.cheftoyaboudy.com)

grew up in New Orleans and combined her interests in the performing arts and the culinary world to launch her YouTube Channel “Cooking with Toya Boudy.” She also will compete on the reality TV competition Food Network Star, which premieres June 4 on Food Network. Boudy spoke with Gambit about her interest in cooking.

What inspired you to combine performing and culinary arts? BOUDY: I started cooking when I was a little girl, around the age of 8 or 9. I actually taught myself how to cook, so that was one of the driving forces for why my mother wanted me to go to culinary school, because she felt it was a gift. I honestly just rebelled against it. Both of my parents were born and raised Uptown and they’re really great cooks. It was effortless, and so I thought everyone cooked. I thought, “That’s not a gift — anyone can cook.” So I happened to be really gifted in other art forms, like painting, poetry and acting, so I just kind of ran with that before really circling back to culinary school much later in life. At that time, I was more mature and more in tune to marry the world of theater and culinary arts. I (went to culinary school) at Nunez (Community College) in Chalmette. I studied culinary (arts) and theater there. They definitely thought it was an odd combination. The avenue for that was still developing; they had Julia Child and Rachael Ray, but it wasn’t how it is now with the Food Network. After (graduating), I tried to take a stab at catering and found out I hated it. I applied for Hell’s Kitchen, and I got all the way to the end of the process, and then right before the flights were arranged they notified me via text (message) that the producers had decided to go in a different direction. That kind of had me distraught. So I told my husband, Chris, “I want to create my own show, and I don’t want to wait.” So he went out for camera equipment and lighting equipment, and we turned my kitchen into a set. That’s how “Cooking with Toya (Boudy)” was born.

What challenges did you encounter along the way? B: I was a troubled teen. Not only was I constantly in trouble at school with discipline issues, but I had my daughter at 16. They didn’t have (places like Cafe Reconcile) on the West Bank. On the east bank of New Orleans, it was like a melting pot for the arts. They had (New Orleans Center for Creative Arts), they had everything. We didn’t have that unless you were getting bussed. My parents worked two jobs, so who had time to get over to the east bank? They were working hard to keep us on the West Bank, which seemed to be safer. I think it’s a classic situation where (troubled youth) are not seeing (success) that often, so they don’t think it’s going to happen. There are places like Cafe Reconcile that are now working with those troubled teens. But a lot of it is back staff kitchen work. It’s not really teaching them how to be more than a worker. I made sure I got polished. There are theater classes, there are speech (classes), there are a bunch of things wrapped up in this. You’re not just jumping on television. I really want people to know that they can have it too. I plan on changing the game. One of the things I plan to do with my fame as I gain it is geared towards minority youth to get them to positions where they want to own (a business) and not just work.

Did your life experiences give you any advantages on the show? B: I have this ability to make something out of nothing, and only struggling in life can teach you that. I’m good with quick turns and movements — I can adapt quickly to situations. I can (adjust) to anything that happens. — HELEN FREUND

2015 Max Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva Errazuriz Aconcagua Valley, Chile Retail $13-$16

CHILE’S HOT, ARID AND BARREN ACONCAGUA VALLEY was

considered unsuitable for growing wine grapes, but vintner Don Maximiano Errazuriz defied expectations when he founded Vina Errazuriz in 1870 and successfully planted clones of French grapes. Others followed his lead, but Errazuriz’s winery continues to dominate output from the valley. This wine is named for the owner, and grapes were sourced from the Max vineyard. It’s a blend of 85 percent cabernet sauvignon, 10 percent petit verdot and 5 percent cabernet Franc. Hand-harvested fruit was sorted, destemmed, crushed and placed in open-top stainless steel tanks for fermentation. The grapes macerated for 18 to 25 days and aged 12 months in French oak barrels. In the glass, it exudes complex aromas of red and dark berries with spice notes. On the palate, the full-bodied wine has flavors of black currant, plum, raspberry, mocha, spice, fine-grained tannins and a core of good acidity. Decant 20 minutes before serving. Drink it with steak, spicy foods and aged firm cheeses. Buy it at: Costco and Martin Wine Cellar.

Yells at Eels

THE UNIQUE ATTRACTION OF FREE JAZZ — aside from the head-on collision of unsettling • 2 p.m. Friday, June 2 improvisation and unreal musicianship — lies • The Old U.S. Mint, in its conversational give-and-take. Where most music is a one-way street (i.e., they play, 400 Esplanade Ave., we listen), avant-garde performances feel actively collaborative with their audiences, (504) 568-6993; as if the observer has more at stake than their own entertainment. I remember getting www.musicatthemint.org actually nervous at one gig with four masters of the form (Michael Ray, Terrence McManus, Helen Gillet and the late Tim Green) at the HiHo Lounge in 2010. There’s a brilliant moment on In Quiet Waters (For Tune), the latest album by trumpeter Dennis Gonzalez’ family band Yells at Eels, where the crowd erupts after an extended percussion solo by Dennis’ son Stefan, and the realization that it’s a live show hits; the whistles, claps and shouts initially register as just another part of the gasp-worthy track. It comes toward the end of “Hymn for Julius Hemphill,” a 14-minute head-gonging showoff that could convert any nonbeliever into a disciple. Dennis’ slippery trumpet is clearly the lead, but Stefan and brother Aaron (on bass) command the rhythm section and read each other’s minds in a way that would have to seem familial if I hadn’t witnessed nonrelatives do the exact same thing. The Gonzalezes perform in a series of shows with Portuguese saxophonist and longtime collaborator Rodrigo Amado this week: at 10:30 p.m. Thursday at AllWays Lounge and at 9 p.m. Friday at Zeitgeist Multi-Disciplinary Arts Center. The acoustic environment at the Mint — where you’re not just able to hear a pin drop, but close enough to feel the grenade go off — makes this matinee concert the one not to miss. Tickets $10.50 ($5.25 students). — NOAH BONAPARTE PAIS

REVIEW

Window Horses — The Poetic Persian Epiphany of Rosie Ming

MAYBE IT’S A REACTION TO THE SHRILL, contentious tone of our public discourse today, or there could • June 2-8 be something in the air. • 7 p.m. Mon.-Wed.; 8:30 p.m. Thu.; Whatever the reason, Asian-Canadian 7 p.m. Fri.-Sat.; 5:30 p.m. Sun. filmmaker Ann Marie • Zeitgeist Multi-Discliplinary Arts Center, Fleming’s animated Window Horses — The 1618 Oretha Castle Haley Blvd., Poetic Persian Epiphany (504) 352-1150; www.zeitgeistnola.org of Rosie Ming is the third major independent film about poetry to hit local screens this year. That is a lot of big-screen poetry in a short period of time. While both Jim Jarmusch’s Paterson (about a fictional bus-driving poet in New Jersey) and Terence Davies’ A Quiet Passion (an Emily Dickinson biopic reviewed in last week’s Gambit) find inspiration in the power of artfully chosen words, Window Horses uses poetry more as a starting point for asking some of life’s big questions. The film explores themes including identity, family and how cultural expression is passed from one generation to the next. It took nine years for writer-director Fleming to bring Window Horses to life, finally relying on a successful crowdfunding campaign to put the production over the top. But what else might one expect for an animated film about a young Canadian who travels to Iran to participate in a poetry festival? It would be hard to imagine a less commercial idea for even an independent feature film. But Fleming beats the odds with a quietly charming and inspired work that deserves a wide audience. The star of Window Horses is Stick Girl, a visually spare character Fleming has used as a stand-in for herself in films and other projects for 30 years. Stick Girl functions here as an actress in her first feature role, a budding poet named Rosie who was abandoned by her Iranian father when she was 7. Voiced by award-winning actress Sandra Oh (who also produced the film and championed it in its early stages), Rosie is a blank slate, largely unfamiliar with poetry other than her own, or the Iranian and Chinese cultures of her ancestors. An invitation to Iran transforms Rosie’s concept of the world and allows the film to depict the history and art of Iran in an organic and appealing way. As crafted by lead animator and designer Kevin Langdale, Window Horses’ animation evolves over the course of the film from simple line drawings to far more elaborate textures and images, all to reflect Rosie’s rapidly expanding world. Sequences devoted to specific stories from Persian history and culture are handled by a variety of guest animators, each demonstrating a unique and striking visual style. The film reaches an artistic peak with a gorgeous, almost monochromatic sequence by Iranian animator Bahram Javaheri depicting the life of the great 14th-century Persian poet Hafez. Contributions like these serve as literal embodiments of the diversity and cultural cross-pollination espoused by the film. Though Rosie’s journey of self-discovery began long ago in Fleming’s imagination, it arrives at a time when the need for tolerance and respect for cultures and perspectives other than our own looms larger than ever before. The apolitical Window Horses is a soft-spoken film with a big, important message for all. Maybe poetry is the ideal place to start. — KEN KORMAN

REVIEW SENGA NENGUDI IS HAVING A MOMENT. The 73-year-old veteran of the edgy 1960s New York performance-art scene has become better known for her weirdly imaginative sculpture, works that art critics often associate with deeply conceptual feminist and multicultural theories. Fair enough, but they also have some fundamentally visceral or even spooky qualities about them due to the way she uses her favorite medium: pantyhose. There must be something deeply satisfying about being able to torture and contort that bane of women everywhere into surrealistic concoctions that evoke the human form while venturing into exotic new realms where the artwork stretches like ligaments, or hangs pendulously or contorts acrobatically like the old comic book hero Plastic Man. Since they hint at both pop art and pathos, Nengudi’s oddly animist sculptures resonate a wide array of associations. In works like Swing Low (pictured), her abstract forms appear both taut and droopy in ways that suggest tribal African • Through June 18 sculpture — or maybe just the secret mythic underworld of the pantyhose spirits. In • Contemporary Arts Center R.S.V.P. Revery “Bow Leg,” their sinewy • 900 Camp St. convolutions suggest strange praying mantis-like forms that might have escaped from • (504) 528-3805 one of Max Ernst’s more feverish canvases. • www.cacno.org The tone is more fraught, or even fetishistic, in Rubber Maid, where breastlike forms emerge from under a flap of black inner tube material that looks like it could be part of Batwoman’s cape. More bodily connections appear in video works like Hands, where gestural hand movements facilitate an almost ritualistic sense of connection with the acrobatic fluidity of her pantyhose creatures. But her videos focused on the art and mechanics of textiles show how weaving machines were the prototype for the earliest computers (illustrated by their perforated paper tape pattern codes). Weaving also invokes the Latin root word for religion, “ligare,” which means to link or bind, just as “witchcraft” derives from “wicker,” the fibers that the ancients associated with the interwoven forces of nature. Obviously, there is more going on with pantyhose than most of us ever realized. — D. ERIC BOOKHARDT
