Foreigner, Tone T Loc and Gin Blo ossoms headline the Gretna Heritage Fe estival BY WILL cOVIeLLO THE GRETNA HERIT TAGE FESTIVAL has long included big g name rockers, from more contem emporary acts such as 2015 headliner K Kid rock to throwback acts, such as Grand Funk railroad, chicago or Foghat Foghat. But it has always had internationally famous acts, says festival cofounder and current Jefferson parish District 1 councilman ricky Templet. “We had Frankie Ford the second year,” Templet says. Ford was a longtime West Bank resident, and he helped draw a crowd to the fledgling event, which Templet says attracted up to 600 people. “Back then we were a one-day, one stage festival,” Templet says. “I helped unload the sound equipment. The Gretna economic Development Association (which created the event) had a booth serving shrimp pasta, which I cooked.” Now in its 24th year, the festival has grown to a three-day event with five music stages and fills 25 blocks of downtown Gretna surrounding Huey p. Long Avenue at the riverfront. Foreigner, rapper Tone Loc and country act Montgomery Gentry headline the fest. Foreigner was a staple of rock radio in the late ’70s and early ’80s with hits such as “I Want to Know What Love Is,” “Hot Blooded” and “Feels Like the First Time.” It released the album Juke Box Heroes this year, and returns to the festival for the first time since 2012. The L.W. Higgins High School choir will join the band for a song during its set 10 p.m. Saturday. There’s plenty of throwback appeal to the festival’s Friday night main stage lineup. Tone Loc, the rapper behind ’80s hits “Wild Thing” and “Funky cold Medina,” performs at 5:30 p.m. The ’90s r&B band color Me Badd has mixed up its lineup since disbanding and reforming, but it follows at 6:15 p.m. 1970s disco and soul group Sister Sledge follows at 7:45 p.m., and Village people closes

The main stage features a rock lineup Saturday night with Night ranger and 90s alt-rockers Gin Blossoms performing before Foreigner. The day also features plenty of local bands, including rockin’ Dopsie Jr. and the Zydeco Twisters, Amanda Shaw and Big Six Brass Band. country stars take over the main stage on Sunday afternoon, beginning with singer Michael ray at noon. Grammy- and country Music Association Awards-winner Lee Ann Womack performs at 2:15 p.m. Troy Gentry died in 2017, but eddie Montgomery has continued to tour with Montgomery Gentry, which last appeared at the festival in 2008. It performs at 4:30 p.m. There are a few new features at the festival this year. There’s a parade at 2 p.m. Saturday featuring three bands and floats with guest riders from Kidd’s Kids, a foundation for children with life-threatening or life-altering conditions. There also is a tailgating tent adjacent to the craft beer area. The tent will feature a DJ, and the LSU Tigers and New Orleans Saints’ football games will be broadcast on four large-screen TVs. The festival has hosted a car show in past years, and it holds a classic car show this year. regular features of the festival

An anonymous donor gave

$1.5 million to Loyola University’s center for entrepreneurship and community Development, which seeks to expand opportunities for Loyola students to pursue entrepreneurial ideas. Kate Mccrery, the center’s new director, said in a statement, “Through the generosity of this gift, every Loyola student from every major can now gain access to this potential, which empowers an entire generation to introduce new ideas and create better communities for us all.”

Jerry Falwell Jr. once again defended president Donald Trump when he tweeted, “Dems learned how to politicize natural disasters when Katrina hit New Orleans. It worked against Bush 43 so now they’re trying it against @realDonaldTrump with his response to Maria in puerto rico last year.” Actually, the levee collapses and the botched response to Katrina were manmade, not natural disasters. So who’s politicizing a tragedy?

Allen Johnson, right, reads comment cards and questions at the ShortTerm Rental Committee’s Sept. 20 meeting looking at the City Planning Commission’s latest recommendations for short-term rental rules.

CPC ISSUES EXTENSIVE REPORT ON SHORT-TERM RENTALS Short-term rentals would be limited to residential properties with an owner or permanent resident on site, and multi-unit buildings in business districts would be prohibited from turning more than 25 percent of those units into short-term rentals — those are two of the recommendations from the New Orleans city planning commission staff, which released an extensive 155-page report last week as officials look to revisit its year-old rules governing rentals on platforms like Airbnb. resident group the Short-Term rental committee held a public forum Sept. 20 to review the cpc recommendations, as well as the fallouts and impacts to neighborhoods and the city’s housing stock under the current rules. residents pointed to the dominance of whole-home rentals in residential areas, single operators with multiple properties, the displacement of renters (and potential voting power), and insignificant contributions from STrs into the city’s affordable housing funds. “The city is not making back what we were promised,” said Allen Johnson, president of the Faubourg Marigny Improvement Association. The cpc’s staff report largely agrees with the criticisms and concerns from housing advocates and residents from the last few years, particularly the impacts from the proliferation of “temporary” listings. efforts to revisit New Orleans’ STr laws follow similar changes around the U.S. and elsewhere as cities and states begin to rein in proliferation and density of tourist rentals. Under direction of the city council, city planners looked at efforts in Austin, charleston, Nashville and Savannah, where officials “expressed the same concerns regarding illegal listings and the inability to adequately regulate and enforce their regulations when the platforms do not cooperate with city laws,” according to the report. The proliferation of that type of rental, many from companies and developers with multiple listings at other properties, inspired the city pAGe 8

council to place a moratorium on most kinds of whole-home rentals earlier this year until it could draft new rules based on recommendations from the cpc staff report. The cpc staff will present its report Sept. 25. STr platform HomeAway, which pitched its own ordinance with input from several community meetings held in August and September, said the cpc staff report is a “step in the wrong direction.” “Neighbors and short-term rental stakeholders across the city want fair and effective policies that work — not restrictive and onerous bans,” the group said in a statement this week. “This plan will only harm New Orleanians who have played by the rules and invested in their community.” “rather than punishing law-abiding short-term rental owners, the cpc and city council should look to create smart regulations that improve New Orleans communities while ensuring responsible homeowners have an avenue for renting out their whole-home property,” the group said.

Report: Cantrell credit card spending in line with that of other council members An audit of the New Orleans city council’s credit card usage found sloppy bookkeeping and questionable purchases were widespread among council members, but that Mayor LaToya cantrell’s spending habits — the subject of political attacks that prompted the report and an investigation by the state Attorney General’s office — were not out of line with her former colleagues. The report from the state Legislative Auditor’s office notes that the council’s policies for credit card use were problematic when cantrell served as a member, leading to lax oversight and potentially problematic purchases by council members and their staffs. However, the auditors determined that “due to the council’s lack of policies, procedures and records, it was not possible for us to determine if these expenditures were improper.” The audit is expected to be published in the coming weeks. The New Orleans Advocate obtained a copy ahead of its formal release. The brief report may not lay to rest the controversy and investigation into cantrell’s credit card use, but the mayor claimed victory in her response, which is included with the audit. “The audit determined that my city credit card usage was not unlike several other council members and their staff,” cantrell wrote. “I agree with this finding as it supports my assertion from the beginning that my

use of the card was consistent with the then-established policies of the city council.” — JeFF ADeLSON | THe NeW OrLeANS ADVOcATe

Cantrell’s trash cleanup Mayor LaToya cantrell’s citywide trash cleanup plan will target 12 major corridors and assemble a “Tiger Team” with workers from several city agencies to fight blight, illegal dumping, litter, graffiti and clogged catch basins. The $2 million cleanUpNOLA program also earmarks $70,000 to install 10 surveillance cameras in several “repetitive illegal dumping locations that the [Department of Sanitation] identified,” according to a city Hall spokesperson. cantrell will request the funds as part of her 2019 proposed budget. Among the targeted corridors are claiborne Avenue from Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to Napoleon Avenue; Broad Street from poydras to Gentilly Boulevard; crowder Boulevard from Haynes Boulevard to chef Menteur Highway; and carrollton Avenue from canal Street to earhart Boulevard. Other areas focus on parts of Treme, the 7th Ward, Gentilly and the claiborne Avenue corridor. The plan also calls for working with law enforcement and the Health Department to sweep out encampments of homeless people. public Works employees will work to repair catch basins and potholes and remove abandoned vehicles. The Department of parks and parkways also will mow areas with tall grass, and several agencies will coordinate removing “bandit” signs — campaign placards and advertisements on neutral grounds and sidewalks.

Municipal LGBTQ+ Task Force holds first meeting The New Orleans’ LGBTQ+ Task Force, under the wing of the city’s Human relations commission, wants to re-evaluate whether the city needs its boosted State police presence and its network of surveillance cameras monitored in real time. At its inaugural meeting Sept. 19, the task force highlighted several areas it plans to tackle over the next few months before making recommendations to Mayor LaToya cantrell on policies to better support the needs and experiences of LGBTQ+ people in New Orleans. The task force also suggested the city planning commission and other city and state agencies drop efforts around Bourbon Street strip clubs and instead focus on limiting shortterm rentals, which the task force argues is contributing to a housing crisis for LGBTQ+ people.

Housing NOLA gives itself a ‘D’ for progress in affordable housing The agency behind a 10-year affordable housing plan for New Orleans is giving itself a D for 2018, admitting a year of “tremendous and sometimes unexpected success paired with crushing disappointment and swinging back to victory.” HousingNOLA’s latest report card cites some strides in forthcoming legislation, partnerships with financial institutions and smaller-but-crucial programs getting off the ground to help house formerly incarcerated people or people with special needs. While there have been some gains in new units or housing assistance, the city has not kept pace with the need for affordable homes — it has lost more affordable housing than it has created. Only 190 new affordable units were made available in the first half of 2018. Among the most significant pieces of the housing puzzle is the adoption of a “smart housing mix,” which would mandate affordable units with new construction. The New Orleans city planning commission (cpc) is studying the impact of a potential policy, and the New Orleans city council could adopt those rules, pending recommendations from the cpc. The city also is up against a deadline from Gov. John Bel edwards, who vetoed a measure earlier this year that would have prevented municipalities from adopting their own “inclusionary zoning” measures such as the proposed smart housing mix. His veto came with the caveat that if New Orleans doesn’t adopt those policies before the state Legislature meets again in the spring, he won’t block similar legislation that hits his desk next year. On another front, lawmakers did pass a measure to better protect tenants from landlords who illegally withhold security deposits. The new law raises the maximum penalty

that renters can recover from a landlord to twice the amount of the deposit. HousingNOLA wants to expand those tenant protections in 2019, as part of its goals to prevent renter displacement. HousingNOLA also is hoping the new administration will reintroduce the “healthy homes” or “rental registry” ordinance. The proposal — first introduced by then-District B councilwoman LaToya cantrell before it was put on the back burner — would require landlords to register their property with the city and pass a checklist of basic health and safety requirements, which housing advocates argue would relieve cost-burdened renters from having to pay for repairs or moving costs, which often trap low-income renters in a cycle of substandard housing. roughly 63 percent of New Orleans renters spend a third of their income or more on rent and utilities, and 33 percent of homeowners are similarly cost-burdened, according to the report. Meanwhile, the waiting list for housing vouchers through the Housing Authority of New Orleans has remained largely stagnant through 2017 and 2018, at 24,197 people.

Former U.S. Rep. Bob Livingston to sign new memoir remember the pre-Stormy Daniels era, when extramarital sexcapades could take down — or at least severely wound — a politician? Former U.S. rep. Bob Livingston certainly remembers. In his 12th term in office, he was in line to become Speaker of the House and leading the charge to impeach president Bill clinton over the president’s extramarital affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. That plan went south when Hustler publisher Larry Flynt announced he would release details about Livingston’s own extramarital affairs, which led Livingston to resign abruptly and challenge clinton to do the same. Like Daniels, Livingston now has a book, The Windmill Chaser: Triumphs and Less in American Politics, which he’ll sign at Garden District Book Shop from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Oct. 19. press materials for the book include praise from former Speaker Newt Gingrich and Fox News host Tucker carlson. Lapolitics, one of the few outlets to review the book so far, says it’s “chocked full of funny stories, no-holds-barred opinions and candid recollections.” Livingston now works as a lobbyist in Washington D.c. In 2016, he came out strongly in support of Donald Trump’s candidacy for president, a move that lost him the city of New Orleans as a client when then-Mayor Mitch Landrieu severed the relationship over Livingston’s embrace of Trump.

its mission statement, the task force floated six proposals and questions to ask in the coming months, including the need or desire for health care and sensitivity trainings and a “LGBTQ+ census.” The agenda proposed canceling a city arrangement with the Louisiana State police (LSp) and moving those funds into “programs and services for our most vulnerable residents, like LGBTQ+ communities of color.” The task force also suggested that there be some kind of community review process for an enforcement mechanism to ensure the New Orleans police Department is properly trained to respond to LGBTQ+ people, and to evaluate whether the LSp presence is making the city safer.

COMMENTARY

Fix the STR ordinance AFTER SIX MONTHS OF RESEARCH , the New

Orleans city planning commission (cpc) staff released its study on short-term rentals (STrs) last week. The study’s findings and recommendations back up what STr opponents have said since the former city council passed its much-criticized STr ordinances in 2016. While the former council and the STr industry hailed the ordinances as a national model, the study concluded the ordinances were far too lax. For example, the previous council rejected the idea that an STr license should be tied to a homestead p H OTO B Y exemption (ensuring local, on-site operators). Airbnb, a major STr online platform, presented as a major concession the basic business practice of sharing the names and addresses of STr owners with city regulators. And the 90-day annual cap on “temporary” (read: absentee-owned) STrs has been virtually unenforceable. The report calls the current regulations “relatively lenient” and recommends reining in STrs in residential

neighborhoods, where pushback against STrs has been most intense. Many residents complain that they’re living amid de facto hotels and party pads. The report also suggests requiring landlords to live on the premises and, when an STr is in a commercial building, limiting STrs to 25 percent of a building’s available units. HomeAway, one of the biggest STr operators, immediately criticized the cpc report, saying, “This plan will only harm New Orleanians who have played by the rules and invested in their community.” HomeAway called the recommendations “restrictive and onerous.” We call them reasonable and fair. While the STr industry has positioned itself as a way for locals to

T H e A DVO c AT e S TA F F

earn extra money by renting out a bedroom or half a double on a shortterm basis, that’s not the way things have worked out. Two out-of-town STr companies, Sonder and Stay Alfred, had more than 100 properties each in New Orleans earlier this year. A story by The Lens and the Huffington post found that STrs comprise one in 10 residential units in Faubourg Marigny. The cpc staff’s report is long and complex, and there are points in it that warrant debate — such as the proposed removal of the STr ban in the French Quarter. That restriction predictably raised calls from other neighborhoods for their own bans. While some French Quarter groups rightly say that allowing STrs in the Vieux carre will make the Quarter’s residential sections even more populated by tourists, it’s also true that the ban has pushed STrs into the adjacent neighborhoods of Treme and Faubourg Marigny. The council should consider cutting back on STrs in general first, then seeing if there’s a justification for them in the Quarter, which already has many hotels. Another point of controversy is a proposed permit to allow residents to rent out their homes for 14 days — presumably during the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Mardi Gras and other times hotels are filled. It’s not clear how this would be enforced, and this proposal could exacerbate some of the problems the study acknowledges already exist. The commission will consider the staff’s recommendations at its Sept. 25 meeting, then forward its own recommendation to the city council. Let’s hope city Hall gets it right this time.

Could New Orleans become a ‘Smart City’?

A DVO c AT e S TA F F p H OTO BY MA X BecHerer

City Council President Jason Williams.

COULD NEW ORLEANS BECOME

a ‘Smart city’? New Orleans isn’t the first American city to buy into the “Smart cities” idea, but city council president Jason Williams says we could become a leader in using new technologies to solve longstanding problems — from crime to flooding to economic and digital equity challenges. There are many definitions of the term “Smart cities,” but most involve applying cutting-edge technology across multiple public platforms. “It’s an exciting global endeavor,” Williams says, “although each city sees it based on what its needs are. The idea of being a Smart city means we don’t get caught up on putting out present-day fires. You try to pivot to items that make great cities exceptional by looking five, 10, 20 years out. It’s not about cutting ribbons while you’re in office. It’s about being aspirational.” Williams chairs the council’s new committee on Smart cities and Sustainability, which will hear presentations on Tuesday (Sept. 25) on ways to better integrate technology into local governance, particularly utility regulation and oversight of the Sewerage and Water Board (S&WB). Williams says the first major initiative should be one that benefits “all neighborhoods — poor, middle class and rich.” He points to the idea of converting some bus stops into “Wayfinders,” which could become free, public hot spots giving underserved people immediate access to the Internet. They also could provide useful information to visitors — and “pay for themselves by generating advertising dollars the same way bus shelters do.” Other smart cities initiatives that Williams envisions include: • requiring entergy New Orleans

to modernize its electric grid as a starting point for integrating other technologies, including 5G service, so that “one day soon there will be an app for city services that will make it as easy to get a permit or solve a problem as taking out your smart phone.” • Bi-directional smart meters, which would let the S&WB read meters remotely — and let customers read their meters as well. • Gunshot detectors, which could pinpoint gunshots “to within a house or two” and even identify what type of weapon was fired, enabling the New Orleans police Department to respond more effectively. • controlling traffic lights remotely, especially during big events, rather than deploying cops to direct traffic on foot. “It’s a force multiplier,” says Williams. “The officers used to control traffic can be used for the real things we need police for.” The idea of New Orleans becoming a Smart city was first posed by clint Vince, the council’s lead utility consultant. Vince’s law firm, Dentons, created a Smart cities think tank and has hosted summits on the topic. “We think any city that misses this opportunity will be left in the dust,” Vince says. “How a city responds to and incorporates new technologies affects everything about that city for decades — its economy, its growth, its quality of life.” Williams says adopting Smart cities policies “will put a rainbow over New Orleans for the next few decades.” That would be something to see, but first the council must agree on a master plan. Tuesday’s meeting, which begins at 10 a.m. in the council chamber, will be a step toward that goal — and a chance for the public to learn more.

BLAKE pONTcHArTrAIN™ @GambitBlake | askblake@gambitweekly.com

Hey Blake,

Nowadays I know it’s a person in costume, but wasn’t Gumbo the Saints mascot originally a real dog? Where did the name come from?

Dear reader,

The original Saints mascot was a St. Bernard puppy, given to the team by the Louisiana restaurant Association. “The New Orleans Saints have ended their search to fill one of their key positions,” reported The StatesItem in July 1967, three months before the team’s first game. A 6-month-old, 75-pound male St. Bernard was purchased from a kennel in colorado. Though no explanation was given for why that breed of dog was chosen, a contest was announced to name the new mascot. According to an Aug. 18, 1967 article in The States-Item, the winning name was selected from among 3,000 entries. The winner, philip A. Wetzel Sr., received two season tickets for the Saints’ inaugural season. Gumbo made his first local appearance at a Sept. 12, 1967 Saints luncheon at the Jung Hotel. Sponsored by the chamber of commerce, the event featured trumpeter Al Hirt (an early investor in the team), team owner John Mecom Jr., head coach Tom Fears and several Saints players. Five days later, Gumbo was on the field for the team’s first season opener at Tulane Stadium when they lost to the Los Angeles rams. “Gumbo

seemed unperturbed by the rousing applause he received” during pregame festivities, reported the next day’s Times-Picayune. The original Gumbo apparently went missing in 1970 and was replaced in 1972 by another St. Bernard, Gumbo II, owned and trained by the family of Arthur Dale, just like all the mascots to follow. Gumbo II died in 1975 and was replaced by Gumbo III. A fourth canine mascot got the job in the 1980s when Tom Benson bought the team, but that animal only served for a short time. “We learned Gumbo IV made his ﬁnal appearance for the Oct. 27 Giants’ game,” The Times-Picayune‘s peter Finney wrote on Jan. 5, 1986. “Think about it. No four St. Bernards in history have seen more defeats. Maybe Tom Benson was being kind to Gumbo IV.” By 1998, the Saints had replaced the dog with a human inside a mascot costume.

BLAKEVIeW THIS YEAR MARKS THE 70TH ANNIVERSARY of Lucky Dogs, the hot dogs

sold from iconic wiener-shaped carts on the streets of the French Quarter. The business, which is headquartered on Gravier Street in the central Business District, was founded in 1948 by the Loyacano brothers — Steve and erasmus, known as Joe. In a 1981 interview with The Times-Picayune, Steve Loyacano explained that he held a design patent on the carts. “Most people’s attention was attracted by the carts, but I’d like to think we put out a good product too. The first cart we tried, we threw out altogether. I had first tried a plaster-of-paris hot dog but it just didn’t work.” Metal carts proved more durable. The vendors who operate them, clad in red-andwhite striped shirts, also have been memorable. The Loyacanos sold the business to Doug Talbot in 1970. In 1980, the business got a boost from John Kennedy Toole’s pulitzer prize-winning book, A Confederacy of Dunces, whose protagonist, Ignatius J. reilly, works as a hot dog street vendor for the fictitious paradise Vendors (believed to be inspired by Lucky Dogs). Talbot died in 2014 but his family, which includes state rep. Kirk Talbot, r-river ridge, continues to run the business.

BETWEEN 2008 AND 2014, the New Orleans Fringe Festival grew into a bingeviewer’s orgy of freewheeling alternative theater and offbeat acts filling venues clustered mostly in Faubourg Marigny and Bywater over a long weekend. There was everything from circus and sideshow acts to puppetry and rock operas. Local theater performer and producer Michael Martin was not its biggest fan. “I was a Fringe complainer,” he says. A veteran of chicago’s rhinoceros Theater Festival, a 30-year-old fringe type event, he had always believed, among other differences, that a festival of alternative, experimental and in some cases less commercially viable shows should be staged in a slow time, like summer, rather than in the heart of the theater season. The New Orleans Fringe had thrived in the middle of fall, but even so, some of its founders turned the event over to a new director who then moved out of town — and retained legal rights to the festival name. The successor festival changed format and fizzled, which left Martin in the odd position of recreating a festival he hadn’t previously championed. In its third iteration, the InFringe Festival is taking the shape of the original, with roughly 60 shows at venues in Bywater and Marigny in a busy weekend. The lineup includes burlesque, cabaret, comedy, musicals, solo performances, children’s shows and more. There are many shows by local performers, but visiting productions include a russian clown musical from Seattle’s christopher Bange, a “radioactive musical” called Curie Me Away! from Minneapolis, Minnesota’s Matheatre and an ’80s-style family sitcom set after the apocalypse from New York’s Improvisational repertory Theatre ensemble. There’s also a gay rom-com, Romeo & Juliet as a drinking game, punk vaudeville, clown puppets and more. InFringe Festival is Nov. 7-11. Visit www.infringefest.com for schedule.

Big deli sandwiches lure diners to Lakeview lunch spot BY H e L e N F r e U N D @helenfreund WHENEVER A CERTAIN FRIEND

of mine comes to town, she makes a point of getting a muffuletta from central Grocery a few hours before her flight home. She packs some of it to go and waits to savor it on the plane, insisting that the sandwich improves with time as the flavors blend and the ingredients get to know each other a little better. I had a similar thought when confronted with a similar sandwich at Francesca, a deli-style casual restaurant that opened earlier this year in Lakeview. The sandwich in question is The Moon, a throwback to (and resurrection of) the Moon special served at charlie’s Delicatessen, which shuttered following Hurricane Katrina. Like a muffuletta, The Moon features a sesame seed loaf piled high with meats and cheese. It has ham, roast beef, melted provolone, a thick layer of bright purple cabbage slaw and creamy russian dressing that pools on the tray below. I ate what I could and tucked the rest to go. That sandwich and many other items on the menu are reminiscent of old-school comfort favorites found at delis and red sauce joints. Husbandand-wife team Scot and Stephanie Francesca craig run the spot, and Scot also owns Katie’s restaurant & Bar in Mid-city. Many of Francesca’s dishes are based on family recipes from Stephanie’s childhood in the St. Louis Italian neighborhood known as The Hill. A salad of the same name arrives topped with ribbons of salami and capicola, heaps of grated mozzarella, olives, artichoke hearts, tomatoes and olive salad on a heavily dressed mound of romaine and iceberg lettuces.

portions approach ridiculousness, as is the case with the mozzarella sub, a delicious medley exploding out of an Italian roll. It has fat meatballs drenched in marinara under a blanket of melted mozzarella and provolone cheeses. Diners can expect to go home with leftovers. The menu has a decent selection of pizzas as well as casual deli items. A vegetarian sandwich called the Lakeview was drier than expected, packed with plenty of avocado and sprouts but lacking any tang or creaminess to pull the parts together. Francesca has a neighborhood feel and closes at 8 p.m. Though it’s similar in some ways to its Midcity sister, the two restaurants are distinct. Katie’s has earned a reputation for a buzzing weekend brunch spot offering bottomless mimosas, but Francesca is a neigh-

Sara B. Franklin

Historian and author HISTORIAN SARA B. FRANKLIN

recently published Edna Lewis: At the Table with an American Original, a collection of essays about the Southern chef and food writer, a leader in the farm-to-table movement and an inﬂuential ﬁgure in introducing Southern food culture to the rest of the country. Franklin will be interviewed about her book and Lewis’ work at the Southern Food & Beverage Museum Oct. 18. Franklin spoke with Gambit about Lewis.

What inspired you to explore the life of Edna Lewis? FRANKLIN: I got introduced to her through an essay — one of her essays that was published posthumously in Gourmet magazine in 2008. It was her now iconic essay called “What is Southern?” I was so moved by that essay. It put Southern food, and African-American Southern food in particular, on the same page as other types of culture — painting, music, writing — and also (there was) a series of political statements about where Southern food came from. It spelled out very plainly that it came primarily from African-American cooks, who developed what we think of today as Southern cuisine. I promptly bought all her books and read them cover-to-cover and cooked my way through them. I learned that her recipes are as good if not better than her prose. Lewis was the first American author writing about American food that (influential editor Judith Jones) published. It seemed like a radical move to me to have this really well-known editor at this really prestigious publishing house have her first American cookbook be written by a woman — a black woman — from the rural American South. That’s when I started to obsess. It was a nagging question: Why isn’t there a book about this woman? She was really iconic and beloved but also unknown by a lot of people. edna had this mysterious,

muddied history — a chunk of her life that is still missing — in terms of what happened to her and what she was doing. There were moments where she was very politically motivated, where she was moving around. I was intrigued that she could be an icon and a mystery all at once.

What were some of her strongest contributions to Southern food culture? F: She was really early in the game, and I think we need to credit her for that. When she published The Taste of Country Cooking, I think it was a corrective to some of the other Southern cookbooks that were written in the spirit of the big house mistress — written in the voice of the benevolent, wealthy white hostess. Some of those books were credited appropriately. There were white women from the South that were excellent cooks and deserve credit for that. But there were a lot of white women who had black domestics, either during the time of slavery or after, and (the white women) weren’t doing the cooking and weren’t crediting the people who were doing it. part of it was an answer to the rise of soul food,

which was different from the cooking she was writing about. Soul food means many things to many people, but it certainly was a cuisine that rose out of the great migration and moved away from the rural South and the agrarian South. It was more in city centers and was a celebration of black food and culture being intact in those places. I think what Lewis was doing was saying, “Look, we had a cuisine before that” — before the rural South began to disintegrate as industrialization crept in. She was careful in that book in that she was writing about her particular place. She was not claiming the entirety of the South. I think she was very aware that the South is many things and that she could only speak authoritatively about one (area). I think that’s one of the reasons that we keep looking to her. She didn’t attempt to speak for anyone else — that’s when people usually get into trouble. I think people look to her as a storyteller for a time of history when we don’t have that much written down. I think they look to her for her incredible aptitude for speciﬁcity. She bit off more than she could chew. She was able to weave all these difﬁcult truths through this book of beautiful food. I think that’s what makes her so relevant now, because we’re yet again, culturally as Americans, trying to speak across divides and chasms, and she was doing that 40-plus years ago.

If you could ask her one question, what would you want to know? F: I would ask her, “To the extent that you became famous, was it the kind of fame you wanted? Did the recognition you got feel reﬂective of the kind of person you were trying to be in the world?” I would really like to know if it ended well or if she feels like she was misread in her life. — HeLeN FreUND

MUSIC PREVIEW People Museum BY ALeX WOODWArD JEREMY PHIPPS SAYS people Museum is the sound of “New Orleans in 2060.” It’s easy to hear what he means — his trombone resembles thick synthesizer stabs, punching into ambient keyboard washes and dreamy, organlike riffs carving out a cosmic sonic space for vocalist claire Givens and her layered harmonies. It’s a notso-distant future, a mere 40 years, forcing people Museum to embrace real-world acoustics and introspective, interpersonal lyrics, while its other foot floats in otherworldly pop production, captured on its debut album I Dreamt You in Technicolor, out this month. “Trying to fit inside the world of those songs kind of changes the way I play trombone,” says phipps, whose approach to fitting brass sounds into pop music spans work alongside Saint Bell, rubblebucket and Solange, among others. On “Bible Belt,” a two-chord churchlike chime rings alongside Givens’ vocals and a skittering snare, while Givens, who was raised in north Louisiana, comes to terms with “the good and bad parts of the whole establishment and the people within it and what it means to me now, seeing myself in people I’ve criticized and trying to re-evaluate.” Technicolor‘s songs express that personal catharsis, pairing processed acoustic instruments (with the help of prolific engineer ross Farbe) with the “heart, joy and person behind them,” Givens says. “We wanted to try to write songs that were going to connect with people and tell stories about our lives.” The band’s album release show is 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 28 at Saturn Bar (3067 St. Claude Ave.). NONDI and DJ Dreamer open.

AMID ALL THE HOOPLA surrounding New Orleans’ tricentennial, it is easy to forget that autumn 2018 marks the 10th anniversary of the St. claude co-op gallery district that sprang up amid the community activism that followed Hurricane Katrina and the levee failures. Jessica Bizer is a longtime Good children Gallery artist who in many ways typifies the district’s playfully experimental approach to making art. This Rainbow in the Dark series reflects her pop-culture flair harnessed to the jagged psychic intensity of old-time european expressionism in works like Energy Club and Vacation, among others, that suggest a time-transcending collaboration of Wassily Kandinsky and David Lynch for the way they mingle suspenseful theatricality and formal dynamism. Bizer goes full-tilt psychedelic with her wall size, 9- by 22-feet digital mural, Crystal Society (pictured), reminding us that psychedelic art not only is a historic genre, but one that recently attained new relevance with advances in the medical use of psychotropic drugs for treating pTSD and other ailments. Most mainstream galleries remain cautious, but St. claude offers unlimited opportunities for experimentation. At his exhibit Hard Living in the Big Easy: Immigrants & the Rebirth of New Orleans at UNO St. claude Gallery, local artist-activist Jose Torres-Tama prefaces his work with a reminder that this city’s recovery from Katrina largely was built on the backs of thousands of sometimes undocumented Hispanic workers who did the heavy grunt work with admirable efficiency. His drawings stylistically hark to the turbulent history of revolutionary labor movements as imagined by renowned Mexican and German artists, and while conceptually relevant to current controversies emanating from the White House, their melodramatic look flamboyantly merges art’s historical sensibilities with America’s conflicted social subcurrents. consequently, Hard Living is an interesting series of drawings that often reflect Torres-Tama’s ongoing historical interests as much as the contemporary subjects that inspired them. Hard Living in the Big Easy: Immigrants & the Rebirth of New Orleans runs through Oct. 6 at UNO St. claude Gallery, 2429 St. claude Ave., (504) 948-6939; www.unostclaudegallery.wordpress.com.
