The NOLA Project’s The Revolutionists revisits the French Revolution BY WILL COVIeLLO LESLIE CLAVERIE PLAYS MARIE ANTOINETTE in The NOLA project’s

production of The Revolutionists, which runs Sept. 4-16 in the Great Hall at the New Orleans Museum of Art. At a rehearsal, she’s wearing a tall blonde wig with twirled tresses and a T-shirt that reads “Beauty fades / dumb is forever,” the signature line from TV’s judgmental Judge Judy. In Lauren Gunderson’s play, the French Queen refers to a more famous line, but she sounds more like a contemporary figure bumbling through a public relations mishap. “I did not say that bit about the cake,” Antoinette tells French playwright Olympe de Gouges. “That was out of context. I thought I was ordering lunch.” Antoinette actually may not have said, “Let them eat cake,” but in Gunderson’s play, which is a comedy until the blades of the French revolution come out, that’s part of the point. Antoinette is the most famous of the three historical women on stage, along with revolutionary assassin Charlotte Corday and de Gouges. Gunderson added Marianne Angel, a composite figure based on women fighting in the slave revolution in Saint-Domingue, or Haiti. Most of what is known about the women was written by men. Gunderson is telling their story, if not from their actual words, at least from a woman’s point of view, says NOLA project artistic director A.J. Allegra. Though Antoinette tends to attract the spotlight, which is noted with resentment in the play, she is not its focus. De Gouges is. “She is a badass playwright,” says director Joanna russo. “A feminist abolitionist playwright. She was widowed as a young woman and refused to remarry. She said, this is the only way I can have power, influence, independence and control my own life. … She wrote plays that advocated

Paul Simon WED. SEPT. 5 | After more than six decades in music, 16 Grammys, 100 million records sold and four No. 1 hits — three of them with Art Garfunkel — paul Simon kicks off the final leg of his Homeward Bound tour in New Orleans. At 8 p.m. at Smoothie King Center. for illegitimate children and women. She wrote a play about an enslaved person who was the central character and becomes the hero of the play. She was way radical. But nobody knows about her.” In Gunderson’s play, which is neither a history nor a period piece, de Gouges is many things. She is a writer trying to capture the historical moment of the French revolution in a drama, or perhaps a musical. She’s asked to write revolutionary pamphlets to advocate for the slave revolt in Saint-Domingue. Corday and Antoinette also arrive at her door seeking assistance. (There’s no historical evidence these women met one another.) The work is set during the mayhem of the French revolution after the monarchy is dethroned and former nobles and those deemed insufficiently revolutionary are being sent to the guillotine. The dialogue is contemporary. Marie Antoinette probably never said, “Ohhh, girl…“ Gunderson also enjoys humor about playwright’s dilemmas, and at times de Gouges worries that dramas are primarily seen by the noble classes, not the masses. And sexism is a major issue throughout the work. Charlotte is offended that interrogators don’t believe her revolutionary ideas are her own — there must be a man in her life. Gunderson currently is the most produced playwright in the U.S.

besides Shakespeare. Last year, Southern rep produced her light-hearted holiday drama Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley, which imagines what happens to the characters from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. The NOLA project has produced several of Shakespeare’s works at NOMA and its sculpture garden. It also produced another show with an all-woman cast and director last year, Men on Boats, a more subtle exploration of gender, history and heroism. But even The Revolutionists‘ ditzy Marie Antoinette has a sense of what’s at stake. “I have precious little time to make history like me,” she tells de Gouges.

City Council Vice President Helena Moreno is calling for a sexual harassment survey to be held at City Hall.

MORENO CALLS FOR SEXUAL HARASSMENT SURVEY AT CITY HALL New Orleans City Councilwoman Helena Moreno is calling for a sexual harassment survey to be conducted at City Hall after a recent report revealed city officials have fielded seven harassment complaints in the past four months. Separately, she has called for a review of wage gaps between City Hall’s male and female employees, a move former Mayor Mitch Landrieu explored last year but never launched. The latest moves will “provide more extensive data on the current situation within City Hall and give further comfort to potential victims that they are not alone,” Moreno said. Moreno has asked for items to be placed on the council’s Sept. 6 agenda urging Mayor LaToya Cantrell’s administration to conduct the survey and directing the Civil Service Commission to complete the wage gap study. In June, the council approved laws Moreno introduced to prevent inappropriate workplace behavior. Cantrell’s team has also been working to clean up what the mayor has called a “cesspool” of harassment within at least one city agency. Cantrell appears to be on board with the changes. A City Hall spokesman pointed to the mayor’s recent work to tamp down on harassment, and said Cantrell “remains absolutely committed to closing the wage gap for women in New Orleans.” The city’s Chief Administrative Office would handle the survey, which Moreno’s motion states is a response to a recent report in The New Orleans Advocate that detailed seven sexual harassment complaints involving various City Hall departments that have been investigated since April. problems have been noted at the city’s property Management Department, where Cantrell swept out two senior officials this summer after female employees complained that former operations manager Herman Hogues exposed himself and came on to them while on the clock. Other complaints involved alleged sex between a 33-year-old senior lifeguard and a 17-year-old junior guard at Stallings St. Claude recreation Center, a male Harrell playground employee who requested “sexy pictures” from a female colleague and a pest control inspector who was fired after he exposed himself to a female coworker. The proposed wage gap study, meanwhile, would review the city’s existing job classification system and actual wages paid out to employees of different genders, classifications, levels of experience and

The puerto rican government, using a standard that required deaths to be linked to Maria on death certificates, previously had estimated the death toll at 64. The new numbers came from George Washington University’s Milken Institute School of public Health.

Landfall or landﬁll? Greg Meffert publishes memoir Greg Meffert’s back and he’s got a book. The city’s disgraced technology chief under former Mayor ray Nagin has self-published a memoir titled Landfall, which covers the misdeeds of the author and mayor before Hurricane Katrina and the federal floods. Meffert served 30 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to taking bribes. “I came into government as an idealist wanting to break a system that meant awarding contracts to selected supporters and cozy partners,” Meffert says in publicity materials, “but ended up making sure contracts went to our selected supporters and cozy partners.” It’s the latest bit of literary ephemera released by the rogue’s gallery of bad actors during the Nagin administration and Hurricane Katrina. That includes Nagin’s own self-published Katrina’s Secrets and the memoir of former FeMA head Michael “Heckuva Job Brownie” Brown, who published Deadly Indifference in 2011. Meffert, who was released from prison last year, now lives in Texas. He told The New Orleans Advocate last week he’s working for a “small overseas tech company.” While it’s unlikely Meffert’s book will reach the best-seller lists, it did score in one area: on the day of its release, amazon.com listed it as the “No. 1 New release” in the category of “White Collar Crime True Accounts.”

Dilapidated Algiers bus stop attaining online fame New Orleans bus stops aren’t always the most well-maintained, but turning that seeming disadvantage into a #CityofYes moment of pride now is possible: An overgrown rTA bus stop in Algiers is in the Final Four of StreetsBlogUSA’s “America’s Sorriest Bus Stop” brackets. The stop, on the aptly named Sullen place, handily beat its first bracket challenger, a scary-looking bus stop on a service road for Interstate 595, and then trounced a dangerous bus stop along a pike in Nashville. The New Orleans stop, nominated by Lawrence Mason, is described thus: “The grass surrounding the bus stop has grown well beyond four feet in height — except for a patch of grass that is kept at ankle/shin height. Additionally, this stop has no sidewalk despite its location right across the street from an apartment complex.” Will New Orleans move on to the Final Four and then to the Super Bowl of sad bus stops? Online voters will decide in coming weeks.

He’s baaaack: Cleo Fields running for state Senate Young voters may not know who former Congressman Cleo Fields is, but it’s a safe bet everyone who lives in Senate District 14 (in Baton rouge) will eventually see Fields’ most memorable moment in the months leading up to the 2019 statewide elections. Fields, a lawyer who also served as a state senator, was caught on an FBI video accepting some $20,000 in cash from former Gov. edwin edwards in 1997 — and stuffing it in his pockets. The video, recorded by the FBI during its investigation of edwards and casino-related corruption, has attained legendary status in Louisiana politics, but it hasn’t aired much since 2007, the last full year Fields held elective office. edwards eventually was indicted and convicted as a result of the investigation. Although Fields was not charged in the federal probe, the video hurt his political standing because he never fully explained why he was taking the cash. He remains a force in African-American politics, but he will face competition as he seeks the state Senate seat of term-limited state Sen. Yvonne Dorsey-Colomb, D-Baton rouge. Among those also seeking the seat is state rep. pat Smith, a Baton rouge Democrat who likewise is term limited in the House of representatives. Local friends and supporters of Fields are hosting a fundraiser for him in New Orleans on Wednesday, Sept. 5, with a suggested admission price of $500 — checks only, no cash, per state campaign finance laws.

COMMENTARY

LAST WEEK MARKED THE 13TH ANNIVERSARY of the landfall of Hurricane

Katrina and the failure of the federal levees. The storm and its after-effects inundated much of the city and killed more than 1,800 people. Unlike most other “Katrina-versaries,” this one passed with a few signs of respect and solemn reflection but no citywide activities or large-scale mourning. Mayor LaToya Cantrell laid a wreath at the Hurricane Katrina Memorial, as other mayors have done, but by and large New Orleanians were left to remember as they chose. This was a good thing. Anyone who lived in south Louisiana during those horrifying days needs no reminder of the storm. Anyone who had evacuated, not knowing the fates of their friends and neighbors, remembers how that felt. And anyone who sat in a relative’s living room or a motel room far away from home, watching the disastrous response by city, state and national officials, well remembers the feelings of helplessness, despair and fury that descended on us during the days, weeks and months after Katrina. An epochal, life-changing event like Katrina and its aftermath is akin to losing a loved one. There’s no need for formal, somber reminders — those feelings never go away. Over time, they become more manageable (if we’re lucky). We don’t forget them; we simply, slowly make a place for them in our hearts. One day we discover we haven’t thought about them in a while; gradually we may go weeks or even months without them coming to mind. What we never do, however, is forget. perhaps the most welcome commemoration came at the hand of Mother Nature and not city officials: No storms entered the Gulf of Mexico during the traditional

height of hurricane season. The fact is that New Orleans, for all its strides and lessons learned in the last 13 years, is still woefully unprepared for even a “minor” hurricane or tropical storm. As we learn more about the seemingly endless dysfunction at the Sewerage & Water Board, we eye the skies nervously when even an inch or two of rain threatens the city. We park our cars on the neutral grounds during downpours where we used to leave them on the streets. And we come to grips with the notion that we may one day have to evacuate during a storm for which we would have hunkered down years ago. Much of the rest of the country has awakened to the fact that what happened to our beloved low-lying city can happen to them as well. Hurricane Sandy in 2012 caused catastrophic damage to parts of New York and New Jersey, areas of the country that never expected such devastation from a late October storm. Last year, Hurricane Maria wrecked 100 percent of the electrical grid of puerto rico, and the federal government still struggles to get help to the island — a disaster all too familiar to New Orleanians. And last week, Hurricane Lane brought record rainfall to the big island of Hawaii. We’ll never forget Hurricane Katrina. The question is: Will the rest of America remember — and heed the lessons for which we paid?

Mike Yenni and the stench of scandal POLITICIANS NEVER SAY “NEVER”

when it comes to elections, but Jefferson parish president Mike Yenni may be the exception that proves the rule. The consensus among parish politicos (not counting Yenni, of course) is he’ll never get re-elected. After being outed for sexting a 17-year-old male high school student while he was mayor of Kenner, Yenni’s political fortunes tanked. The parish council unanimously called for his resignation, as did the City Council in Kenner (Yenni’s political home turf). The Archdiocese of New Orleans and the parish school board banned him from schools. Overnight, he became a pariah. Surveys of parish voters consistently show him with dismal approval ratings, and most of his staunchest one-time allies have publicly repudiated him. Yenni survived a badly mismanaged recall effort, which may have given him a false sense of hope that he could turn things around. That notion was dashed last March, when heavily favored sheriff candidate John Fortunato made the fatal mistake of saying in a televised debate that he would support Yenni for re-election. Less than two weeks later, Fortunato lost the special election

Joe Lopinto. It was the first time that a candidate for office in Jefferson said out loud that he stood with Yenni. Voters’ response was unequivocal: Nevermore. For his part, Yenni hasn’t said whether he’s running for re-election, but he claims voters appreciate the good job he’s doing. Voters may be fickle, but they also tend to be polite when they encounter someone who clearly appears to be a few fries short of a Happy Meal. So, yeah, it’s possible that some voters smile politely and tell Mikey he’s doing a good job. probably not in Harahan, though. residents there have been subjected to a foul stench that many (including at least one expert) attribute to the parish landfill across

the Mississippi river in Waggaman. Yenni, perhaps sensing another scandal, made a feeble attempt to blame his predecessor, former parish president John Young, for the big stink. Young, coincidentally, has been hinting strongly that he wants his old job back. According to Yenni’s initial take on the landfill’s malodorous miasma, a “side letter” agreement entered into by Young’s administration allowed the problem to occur. Young countered that no such side agreement existed, because all contract amendments were approved by the parish council in public meetings. Besides, Young noted, the odor only came about in the past six months — and Yenni has been in office for more than two and a half years. Yenni may have bigger problems than Young. At-Large Councilmember Cynthia Lee-Sheng, daughter of the late Sheriff Harry Lee and a seasoned campaigner herself, is said to be considering a run for parish president. If she runs, Sheng could upend both Yenni’s and Young’s ambitions. In some ways, the Harahan odor controversy is metaphoric of Yenni’s larger political dilemma. Somewhere there’s probably a candidate or two that he could beat, but so far Vladimir putin and Kim Jong-Un haven’t signaled their intentions to run. Barring that, there’s no way Mike Yenni can escape the stench of scandal.

Hey Blake,

Who were Kirsch, Rooney and Tad Gormley and when were the stadiums near City Park named for them?

Dear reader,

Cyril Kirsch and robert rooney were Jesuit High School football teammates in the 1930s who were awarded the purple Heart for bravery during World War II. Kirsch played football for Auburn University before enlisting in the Army.

In 2003, the stadium’s diamond was named for longtime Delgado coach and stadium supervisor Louis “rags” Scheuermann. In 1965, City park Stadium, built in 1937, was renamed for Francis Thomas “Tad” Gormley. A native of Massachusetts, Gormley came to New Orleans in 1907 and became director of the Young Men’s Gymnastic Club. He later worked as a trainer for the Tulane, Loyola and LSU athletic teams. He guided four athletes to the 1932 Olympics and two of them won gold medals. In 1938, Gormley became athletic director at City park, working with thousands of young athletes in the stadium that now bears his name.

BLAKEVIeW OUR LOOK AT LOUISIANA COLLEGE MASCOTS takes us to Louisiana State Uni-

versity, whose athletes have been known as Tigers since the 1890s. LSU’s football team played without a name for its ﬁrst three seasons before adopting the nickname “Tigers” in 1896. The name was commonly used by Louisiana soldiers as far back as the Mexican War, according to historian Dan Hardesty, author of LSU: The Louisiana Tigers. According to LSU’s website, the university paid the Little rock Zoo $750 for a live Bengal tiger named Sheik in 1936. He was renamed Mike to honor LSU athletic trainer Mike Chambers. Six tigers have served as LSU’s live mascot since then, with the current tiger, Mike VII, living in a $3.7 million habitat across from Tiger Stadium. While LSU has its feline mascot, Loyola University calls its teams the Wolf pack. Since 1924, its mascot has been a wolf, a symbol seen on the coat of arms of St. Ignatius Loyola, for whom the university is named. In the 1920s and ’30s, an actual wolf pup made appearances at athletic events. In 1957, the mascot, nicknamed Fang, was replaced by a cocker spaniel. A real wolf returned in the late 1960s. The mascot was renamed Havoc in 2006, though a live animal is no longer used.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara, right, reacts after scoring a touchdown during the first half of an NFL preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers Aug. 25.

ON THE STRENGTH OF AN OUTSTANDING ROOKIE CLASS that included, among others, running back Alvin Kamara and cornerback Marshon Lattimore — the NFL’s offensive and defensive rookies of the year — the New Orleans Saints made the playoffs last year. But since the NFL adopted its current playoff format in 1991, only half the teams that have made the playoffs in a given season, on average, have returned the following year. Several NFL teams have ranked among the league’s top three in scoring, only to have terrible defenses cause them to win eight games or fewer. The 2012 and 2016 Saints did this. The next year, these teams have improved by an average of four wins, including the 2013 and 2017 Saints, who both went from 7-9 to 11-5. But the year after that improvement? Only half the teams made the playoffs — and the 2014 Saints were not in that number. That makes this whole 2018 Saints football thing feel sort of like a coin flip, doesn’t it? So let’s flip the coin and see what happens. pAGe 19

THE ROADS TO FOOTBALL SADNESS ARE MANY AND SCENIC. Should they fail to sustain last year’s suc ccess, the 2018 Saints are most likely to travel the one labeled “regression.” T Think about what made the 2017 Saints so good — and so fun. In addition to the aforementioned roo okies Kamara and Lattimore, the Saints’ rookie class included starting right tackle ryan ramczyk, starting fre free safety Marcus Williams, starting linebacker Alex Anzalone and

contributing defensive lineman Trey Hendrickson. “It’s like half our rookies all had career years right away,” I told a friend the other day. “They can’t have career years yet,” he replied. “They haven’t had careers.” My friend was right, but I can’t help but worry that the performance of the 2017 rookie class isn’t sustainable. According to the NFL’s Next Gen Stats service, Lattimore allowed opposing

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Brandon Coleman fumbles as he is hit by New York Jets cornerback Buster Skrine in the second half of a Saints game during the 2017 season.

quarterbacks to compile a 48.1 passer rating against him, which means that, when a quarterback threw at Lattimore, he produced like the worst passer in the NFL. This season, Lattimore could allow opponents to produce a passer rating that is 20 points better than that 48.1 and still have one of the best seasons by a cornerback in Saints history. That’s how off-the-charts good he was. And if Lattimore is still good, only not as good, how much will the Saints’ defense suffer? And what about Kamara? The second-year kid out of Tennessee has won the heart of the city with his freewheeling, delightful play on the field and his casual charisma off the field. Last year, he averaged 6.1 yards per rush attempt, more than a yard better than the second-best running back in the category. He and fellow running back Mark Ingram each had more than 1,500 yards from scrimmage — the first teammates ever to accomplish that feat in the same year. Let’s be real. They aren’t doing that again, especially given Ingram will miss the first four games of the season because of a performance-enhancing drug-related suspension.

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton looks on during the first half of an NFL preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers Aug. 25.

Defensive end Cam Jordan was a first-team all-pro last year. every time his sack total has hit double digits in a season, it has sunk back to single digits the next. Can he break that trend? What if this year’s first round pick, pass rusher Marcus Davenport, fails to make an immediate impact in the position? And what if the aging Drew Brees ... Never mind. Let’s not think about that. Start pulling at the threads, and the whole team seems to come apart. Imagining the road back to 7-9, then, isn’t that hard. You do remember 2014, right?

New Orleans Saints defensive back Marcus Williams (43) and cornerback Marshon Lattimore (23) celebrate an interception at Saints training camp last month.

FLIP THE COIN AGAIN.

“What if these guys are just exactly what they look like?” my friend asked. And, really, he’s probably right again. There’s no reason to think Lattimore isn’t exactly as good as he looked last year. Kamara — unlike the other Saints running back to produce similar numbers, Darren Sproles in 2011 — hasn’t even hit the prime of his career, much less moved past it. The Saints need Davenport to work out, especially since they traded their 2019 first round pick to make him happen, but in addition to Davenport they have defensive end Alex Okafor, returning from an Achilles’ tendon injury, and Hendrickson, who had a great training camp and seems poised for a big role this year. With Hendrickson, Okafor and Davenport, the Saints may not need Cam Jordan to replicate his 2017 numbers.

Note also the Saints did not stand pat on last year’s personnel. They signed linebacker Demario Davis to add athleticism to the weakest personnel group of their 2017 defense, and they brought back former first round pick patrick robinson to play nickel cornerback, a role in which he thrived last year for the Super Bowl champion philadelphia eagles. On offense, the Saints rebuilt their group of receivers around stalwart Michael Thomas and speed demon Ted Ginn Jr., bringing back tight end Ben Watson, drafting promising rookie Tre’Quan Smith and signing former Chicago Bear Cameron Meredith. If even only one of the three is a big contributor, the Saints will have a better group of pass catchers for Brees to work with than they did last year. If all three contribute? Look out. And then there’s Brees himself. The last time he played a meaningful game — the playoff heartbreaker in pAGe 23

Minnesota about which the less I say the better — he put together one of the great second half playoff performances in football history. He completed 17 of his 22 second half passes for 177 yards and three touchdowns and put the Saints ahead twice in the final minutes of the game. If not for the — do I need to describe it for you? — thing that happened with seconds left, the story of the year would have been Brees’ evisceration of perhaps the best defense in the NFL, in the playoffs, on its home field. And so in 2018 the Saints still seem to have, until further notice, one of the greatest quarterbacks ever. The team has fortified its roster in a way that seems capable of compensating for regression, from the all-world class of 2017, that may not even happen. Their receivers are better. Their defense is faster. Their offensive line is healthier. Let the coin flip land in the Saints’ favor and next thing you know they’ll be holding their second Lombardi Trophy after the Super Bowl ... ... which, by the way, will happen in Atlanta.

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton talks to running back Alvin Kamara and quarterback Drew Brees during training camp in Metairie last month.

The term “sophomore slump” exists for a reason. I do think the Saints’ 2017 rookies will, to some degree or another, experience one. That slump may come in the form of bad luck or maybe overconfidence. either way, it’ll be up to head coach Sean payton to keep his talented young squad on task. If payton manages the job, the team will emerge from the slump all the better for having gone through it. The team’s final win total may not be better than it was last year, but it won’t be much worse, either — and the 2018 Saints will find themselves storming into the playoffs on a mission.

A hard-fought regular season record of 10-6. A playoff berth. And then, in January, these Saints will be the one team everyone else is scared to face. pAGe 24

WWL-TV’S

BLACK AND GOLD

How far will the 2018 New Orleans Saints go? Which player will distinguish himself, and how? These are important questions for everyone in the Who Dat nation, so we turned to our news partners at the WWL-TV sports desk to see how well they could predict the future.

How will the Saints do this season? 11-5. Division Champs with a Super Bowl shot. Twelve wins is definitely possible. Which player do you think will stand out from the pack this year? Terron Armstead. Why? Armstead has All-pro ability but has never been to a pro bowl. He’s now healthy and ready for his breakout season. WWL-TV SPORTS DIRECTOR

How will the Saints do this season? 12-4. New Orleans will edge Atlanta to win the NFC South. I’ll be shocked if the Saints aren’t in the final four of the NFC. I predict a Saints/ patriots Super Bowl, in the twilight of Drew Brees’ and Tom Brady’s careers. Which player do you think will stand out from the pack this year? Michael Thomas. Why? Thomas is a household name in New Orleans, but he will be a household name nationally after 2018 — especially after you see the massive contract extension he will earn next offseason. How will the Saints do this season? 10-6, wild card berth. I think the Atlanta Falcons win the NFC South, with the Saints making a run to the NFC title game. Which player do you think will stand out from the pack this year? Marcus Williams. Why? The second year safety has had a tremendous training camp and has potential to be one of the best free safeties in the NFL — plus he’s coming into the season motivated from the “Minneapolis Miracle.”

Zocalo explores Mexican regional dishes BY H e L e N F r e U N D @helenfreund

WHEN EDGAR CARO WAS IN THE FINAL STAGES of opening his restau-

rant Zocalo earlier this year, he knew Oaxaca would be the starting point. It was there that a group of cooks — mostly women — taught Caro how to make mole, the region’s most celebrated dish. The inky, chili-tinged sauce is thickened with nuts and seeds and is variously loved, hated and misunderstood. There are countless versions of mole negro. At Zocalo, which opened in the spot long occupied by Vega Tapas Cafe on a burgeoning strip of Metairie road, a mole is draped over duck confit wrapped in tortillas and topped with white onions. It’s made with 33 ingredients including seven types of seeds, four types of nuts, panela and plantains, which add depth and subtle sweetness. Caro describes the sauce as “complex,” which is accurate, but it doesn’t do justice to the delicious multifaceted dish. That mole, and many other dishes at Zocalo, pay homage to the state of Oaxaca and its cuisine. But chef de cuisine Sean rivera is careful not to alienate diners for whom the vast culinary landscape of Mexico is uncharted territory. The menu detours from anything resembling Tex-Mex (no chimichangas or bowls of queso here), but the winding road passes through Mexico City, heads south and then to the ocean. A tuna tostada is served with a colorful mix of shaved leeks, avocado and a chipotle tartar sauce. A Bajaesque fish taco features thick pieces of beer-battered Gulf fish topped with

a bright cabbage slaw, and it evokes beachside shacks and begs for accompanying cervezas. Guacamole is studded with wedges of mango, which impart sweetness to the dish. Queso fundido made with oozing Oaxacan cheese arrives piping hot in a cast-iron skillet, studded with crispy bits of chorizo verde and folded into warm flour tortillas. Soft blue corn tortilla tacos are filled with al pastor featuring fatty and golden marinated pork tempered by the acid of a smoky charred pineapple salsa. Cauliflower florets are served in a crimson slick of spicy peanut butter, quinoa for texture and nutty salsa macha, a delicious version with roots in Veracruz that delivers a lip-tingling warmth. More familiar items include flavorful carne asada served on a platter with refried black beans topped with queso fresco, which on one visit was overly salty. Caramelized onions cooked in a chipotle mojo provided a nice contrast to the meat and a bright herb sauce added a zesty punch. Carnitas is a classic dish of braised pork shoulder, and Zocalo serves one large piece with crispy edges that gives way with the prick of a fork. The generous portion is served with

Zocalo’s margaritas are fine, but there are more interesting cocktails that incorporate adventurous ingredients, such as a mule made with green chili-infused vodka and the tart and warming fermented tamarind tequila drink. Caro is the chef/owner behind the Uptown Colombian-inspired restaurant Baru Bistro & Tapas. He and business partner Antonio Mata also run Basin Seafood and Spirits in Uptown and the upscale Latin steakhouse Brasa Churrasqueria, which is nearby on Metairie road.

Pintxos, the Basque version of tapas, are the highlight at Estano, a new Spanish wine bar and cafe on St. Claude Avenue.

late August. estano will operate as a breakfast spot and café during the day and as a restaurant and bar beginning in the afternoon. The bar will offers several wines on tap, Spanish ciders, and beer in cans and bottles. estano serves French Truck coffee and breakfast dishes include a Spanish tortilla, house-baked pastries with fresh fruit and a truffled egg toast. The pintxo selection changes daily, and could include crostini topped with chorizo and brie or tomatoes topped with quail eggs. Sandwiches, or montaditos, might be filled with Serrano ham, manchego, tomatoes and mustard, or other combinations. estano also offers Spanish and portuguese conservas, and uses the tinned or jarred seafood in some snacks, such as a white anchovy salad or razor clams served with crostini. Most of the snacks cost $3 to $9. “We want this to be a neighborhood place — not out of reach for the neighborhood person who might be walking by and wants to walk in,” McDaniel says. The restaurant is one door down from Arabella Casa Di pasta (2258 St. Claude Ave., 504-267-6108; www.arabellanola.com), which pierlas also owns. In the front of

the space, there is a long bar where the pintxos are displayed as well as seating overlooking St. Claude Avenue. The shotgun-style space has a lounge area in back and a courtyard, which is undergoing renovations. All the conservas, including Spanish tuna belly, are available for retail sale as well. estano is open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Dinner service may begin in September, the owners say. — HeLeN FreUND

CATCHING A CAFFEINE BUZZ while biking down the Lafitte Greenway is about to get a lot easier. Local roaster Hey Coffee Co. (www.heycafe. biz) is opening a new coffee roasting facility and cafe along the greenspace corridor in Treme, possibly as early as September. The new shop is located at 2606 St. Louis St., on the corner of N. Dorgenois Street overlooking the Greenway. “We’re really excited that it’s one of the few spots right there on the bike path border,” says owner Tommy LeBlanc, who runs Hey! Cafe at 4332 Magazine St. The cafe has roasted beans at its Uptown space for the past five years. roasting operations will move to the new location, which is roughly the same size — about 1,000 square feet — but can accommodate a larger roaster. In addition to coffee and espresso drinks, the new location will sell food and possibly craft beer. LeBlanc says the menu still is being determined, but pastries likely will be provided by current suppliers Breads on Oak, Laurel Street Bakery, Girls Gone Vegan and the Simply Sweet Shop. The new Hey Coffee Co. will be open from early morning until around 4 p.m. or 5 p.m. to start, LeBlanc says. He would like to extend hours to 9 p.m. in the future. — HeLeN FreUND

years since ella Brennan hosted the American Cuisine Symposium at Commander’s palace in 1983. On Sept. 17, in celebration of the restaurant’s 125th anniversary, the Commander’s palace restaurant group is hosting a day of panel discussions about food and hospitality in America at the Orpheum Theater. The American Cuisine & Hospitality Symposium includes ruth reichl, Danny Meyer, Barbara Lynch, John. T. edge, Dominique Crenn, David Wondrich and others. reichl, a former New York Times food critic and participant in the 1983 event, spoke with Gambit about the original event and the state of the food and hospitality industries.

The question 35 years ago was whether America had its own cuisine. What do you recall from the event? REICHL: (At the time) I was a very young writer, and I was in awe of being in the presence of all these big guns. I remember looking up wide-eyed at all of them. And I also was one of the representatives from California. everybody sort of thought that the food movement began and ended with what was then called “California cuisine.” All of the younger people were really proud of what was going on in this country. (I remember) feeling like (we) had something to be proud of. It was a very exciting time in American food. For years, everybody had said there was no food here — that American cuisine was hot dogs and hamburgers. everybody was looking at France and how great France was, but we were saying, “No, there is really great food in America.” I think it’s very hard for people who weren’t there to understand how different (it was). This was the time before farmers markets, when we just had supermarket produce and you couldn’t get a strawberry that had any flavor or a tomato that had any flavor. We were very proud of the fact that in California — and some chefs in New York — were having farmers raise

p H OTO B Y N OA H F e C K S

things just for them. It was sort of thrilling, and the things that chefs like Jonathan (Waxman) and Jeremiah (Tower) were doing, were really cutting edge and thrilling. Then we started to discover the whole New Orleans food revolution when paul prudhomme was on the road and all of America discovered that there was this regional food called Cajun cuisine. My parents had a house in the country in New england, and we started to think about all that food as regional. I grew up with lobster rolls and clam rolls, and that’s pretty great, right? Then we started looking at the pacific Northwest and what they had up there. We understood that there really was an American cuisine and it was incredibly exciting.

amazing moment in American food. I just edited The Best American Food Writing (2018), which comes out next month, and it’s really wonderful to me that food writing has changed so much. It’s about the #MeToo movement, it’s a lot about whose food (it is) and about what we’ve done in this country. If you’re a rich person you can eat organic food that’s been picked by angels but if you’re a poor person you’re struck with some stuff that’s literally killing your family. These are all issues that we in the food movement are (dealing with). We have finally come to the point that we understand that food is much more than something to eat. It’s much more important than recipes and reservations.

What do you think of American food now?

What is the most pressing issue facing the culinary world today?

R: We’re at a completely different moment in American food. We’re at a moment of maturity, where we now have to take a look at things like race and gender and ethnicity and who owns what, and we also have to look at things like social justice for food workers. We have come beyond excitement and deliciousness to understanding that food very much defines who we are and that we better think about it in a more serious way. I think it’s an

R: For me, it’s pretty much social justice. I think more than anything, the idea that the entire food system basically runs on the backs of unprotected and undocumented workers is shameful, and that the people who are picking our food can’t afford to eat. If we’re going to be a decent society, everybody needs to be able to sit down at the table and eat clean and healthy food. — HeLeN FreUND

PREVIEW X

p H OTO B Y G A r Y L e O N A r D

BY KeVIN ALLMAN X — LIKE THE LETTER ITSELF — is a bit of an enigma. The pioneering Los Angeles punk band is still touring to great reviews in its 41st year, yet it hasn’t released an album of new material in 25 years (1993’s hey Zeus!). It’s perhaps the most critically acclaimed American punk band of all time, yet its singles have scored only once on the Billboard charts (“Burning House of Love” in 1985). earlier this year, X was honored with a major retrospective of its history at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, which normally mounts its career-spanning exhibits on artists like Michael Jackson and ella Fitzgerald, not groups that came up in the basement-and-beer music scene of Los Angeles in the late 1970s. Unlike most bands of their era, X is original recipe — singer exene Cervenka, singer-guitarist John Doe, guitarist extraordinaire Billy Zoom and drummer D.J. Bonebrake — delivering sets of tight 2:30 songs that meld Cervenka’s enigmatic lyrics and keening howl over Zoom’s thunderous rockabilly chords and Bonebrake’s propulsive drumming. And while other acts of X’s era are content to ride on audience nostalgia, whether they’re playing stadiums or casinos, X still manages to sound vital and of-the-moment; a song like “The World’s a Mess, It’s In My Kiss” is as relevant, if not more so, than it was in 1980: “No one is united/And all things are untied/perhaps we’re boiling over inside/They’ve been telling lies …” “During repression and fascism is when you get really great art,” Cervenka told Gambit in 2011. “But I do have a lot of hope for the future.” New Orleans is a regular stop on X’s tour schedule; it was one of the last bands to play at the old Shim Sham Club (now One eyed Jacks) on a sweltering summer night when the A/C had broken and management left repair to the next owner. X also was a highlight of the 2011 Voodoo Music + Arts experience, playing a nighttime show under the oaks at New Orleans City park. remembering the band’s first show more than four decades ago at a house party in Los Angeles, Doe recently told Glide magazine, “There were probably 30 people there and people jumped around and had a good time and we liked it. Forty years later, there are a few more people and they still jump around on occasion and it’s a good thing.” “New Orleans is one of the few cities where people can take care of themselves,” Cervenka told Gambit in 2011. “I trust the people there and I have friends there.” CC Adcock and the Lafayette Marquis opens at 9 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 9, at One Eyed Jacks, 615 Toulouse St., (504) 569-8361; www. oneeyedjacks.net. Tickets $30.

PREVIEW DJ Soul Sister’s Birthday Jam with ZAPP BY WILL COVIeLLO SINCE 1994, New Orleanians have spent countless Saturday nights listening to DJ Soul Sister’s Soul power show on WWOZ 90.7 FM, when she plays rare groove funk, soul, r&B and more. For years, Soul Sister, aka Melissa Weber, continued that party live at weekly Hustle events at local bars, where she mixed in disco and other sounds committed to vinyl. She now hosts intermittent Soulful Takeover events at clubs, and her Birthday Jam is an annual blowout with special guests, including DJ Jazzy Jeff last year and Washington go-go legend Chuck Brown’s band. electronic funk band ZApp (pictured) joins her birthday party Friday at Tipitina’s. ZApp, also formerly known as ZApp & roger, emerged as an electronic funk band in the late 1970s. The group had four Troutman brothers at its core, plus extended family members. Bandleader roger Troutman supplied the band’s signature talkbox vocals. George Clinton helped the band record in its early years, and its hits included “More Bounce to the Ounce,” “Dance Floor,” “Do Wa Ditty” and others. roger collaborated with Tupac Shakur on his No. 1 hit “California Love,” and ZApp’s music often is sampled by hip-hop artists. roger and Larry Troutman died in 1999 in what is believed to have been a murder-suicide. The group disbanded and reformed in 2003. In October, it will release its first album of new work in 17 years, Zapp VII: Roger & Friends, with input from Snoop Dogg and Bootsy Collins. DJ Soul Sister’s Birthday Jam includes free cake. Tickets $35. 10 p.m. Friday, Sept. 7. Tipitina’s, 501 Napoleon Ave., (504) 895-8477; www.tipitinas.com.

Empire BY D. erIC BOOKHArDT IF HURRICANE KATRINA HAD KILLED New Orleans, the city’s estate sale might have looked like this exhibition. part grandma’s attic, part Raiders of the Lost Ark, this Empire expo celebrating New Orleans’ tricentennial captures an elusive slice of the city’s soul in a massive display of obscure objects from the dark corners of Tulane University’s departments and archives. Sponsored by Newcomb Art Museum, A Studio in the Woods and pelican Bomb, it was curated by Los Angeles art activists David Allen Burns and Austin Young. Also known as “Fallen Fruit,” the duo’s dedication to planting fruit trees in derelict urban enclaves was a great idea, but could they cope with our notoriously complicated old Creole city? In fact, their flair for theatrically symbolic objects that locals often place in altarlike displays in their homes enables Empire to transcend the impersonal sweep of history by using memory-infused objects to suggest how the past was experienced personally. The result is an expo as hypnotically weird as only a truly epochal estate sale could be. The expo works because Burns and Young evoke how New Orleans’ flair for artful meandering can serendipitously shift routine moments into something more like a dreamy jazz riff. The 30 busts of historical figures, from Aristotle to Mark Twain, clustered around a painting of conquistadors sacking an Aztec city, make no logical sense, but they convey a sense of history’s occluded subcurrents. Other gems include jars of “postlarval fish” from Tulane’s vast collection of “over 7 million specimens” placed opposite the first ever jazz recording, released on the Victor label in 1917. A 19th-century bronze Buddha serenely contemplates a 1919 maquette of the 9th Ward Victory Arch that still graces McCarty Square. Side galleries feature items such as philanthropist paul Tulane’s dueling pistol and a ralston Crawford photo of a French Quarter sign offering “rooms, $5 Up, No Female Impersonators, Colored Only.” Another gallery features inspired custom wallpaper based on local Carnival history as a backdrop to installations of marble statues of Greek goddesses and Victorian-era local socialites (pictured).
