SEVEN THINGS TO DO IN SEVEN DAYS

WED. NOV. 14 | The massively influential Jamaican ska band reformed in the 1980s after its dissolution in the ’60s. Founding vocalist Doreen Shaffer leads the latest incarnation, and Kumasi opens at 9 p.m. at Tipitina’s.

Liquid Land THU. NOV. 15 | Swiss drummer Simon Berz and New Orleans spoken word artist Moose Jackson and drummer Rob Cambre have collaborated in the improvisational sound project Liquid Land in performances on both sides of the Atlantic. They’re in session again at 9 p.m. at B.J.’s Lounge.

Revenge of the nerds The NOLA Nerdlesque festival revels in sci-fi, superheroes and video game characters

24-Hour Draw-a-Thon SAT.-SUN. NOV. 17-18 | The annual draw-a-thon is open to artists of all skill levels to draw on paper covering the walls of The Green Project, and there are drawing games, drawing karaoke and interspersed artist-led workshops on bookmaking, screen printing, figure drawing and more. Drawing begins at 6:30 a.m. Saturday.

BY WILL COVIELLO ASHTON AKRIDGE PERFORMED IN SOME MUSICAL THEATER PRODUCTIONS in high school in Gonzales, but she wasn’t accustomed to being typecast. When she auditioned for a role in a local burlesque show based on the video game “Super Mario Bros.,” however, she wasn’t surprised when she was offered the role of Luigi. “I am so tall and lanky, they just stuck a mustache on me,” she says. She wasn’t disappointed. “I think everyone loves Luigi, and I am a nerd at heart,” she says. “‘Mario’ was one of the first games I played on my Nintendo 64. I loved Luigi. He was the brother who never got any attention.” The show “Boobs and Goombas” ran for eight months in New Orleans, and it was Akridge’s introduction to burlesque and what’s become known as nerdlesque. Going by the name Perse Fanny, she performs regularly and is a founder of the NOLA Nerdlesque festival, which runs Nov. 16-17 at the Contemporary Arts Center and AllWays Lounge & Theatre. In its fourth year, NOLA Nerdlesque drew more than 150 applicants from across the country, Perse Fanny says. She, co-founder Richard Mayer, who formerly ran the Shadowbox Theatre and Valiant Theatre and Lounge, and festival organizers selected acts that best fit the festival’s four themed showcases. A superhero show titled “Stripped Crusaders” is a staple of the festival. The showcase “Just Drawn That Way” includes characters from anime and cartoons, such as Velma from “Scooby-Doo.” The “Cyburlesque” show includes acts based on video games, science fiction subjects, “Star Trek” and “Star Wars.” There’s a Carrie Fisher tribute and an act featuring C-3PO. One act pairs science educator Bill Nye and Ms. Frizzle from “The Magic School Bus.” “Trandroid” imagines a transgender robot. New this year is a show with horror

themes called “Tease from the Crypt,” which gets its thrills from horror films, serial killers and monsters. One dancer is known for performances as Pennywise, the clown from Stephen King’s “It.” The shows feature men and women, and there are visitors from across the U.S., from Portland, Oregon to Las Vegas, Atlanta and New York. Perse Fanny leads a seminar on the history of burlesque and there are a couple of workshops as well. The rise of nerdlesque reflects the popularity of events like comic conventions, which draw fans of science fiction, anime and popular culture. Perse Fanny recently performed at a nerdlesque show at Phoenix Comic Fest. Nerdlesque shows also draw people who like to costume, Perse Fanny says. “We’ve done a nerdy show called ‘Nightmare Before Christmas,’ ” she says. “People dressed up as Jack and Sally for the show. That’s cool. There was a ‘Ghostbusters’-themed show and someone came in their Ghostbuster gear with their proton pack.” Many neoburlesque performers focus on an era of performance marked by glamour, sparkles, fans and feather boas, but that’s not how burlesque performance started, Mayer and Perse Fanny say. Burlesque performance is generally traced to Victorian-era British dancer and actress Lydia Thompson, whose

Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore SAT. NOV. 17 | Former Blasters guitarist Dave Alvin and country singer-songwriter Jimmie Dale Gilmore’s joint interests in folk and blues led to a collaboration that resulted in the June album “Downey to Lubbock.” They’re backed by Alvin’s The Guilty Ones band at 8 p.m. at Chickie Wah Wah.

performances drew on Shakespeare, ballet and classical mythology. Perse Fanny says that nerdlesque simply reflects current popular culture, as well as fandom. “I think it’s cool to be a nerd now,” she says. “That’s why nerdlesque is booming. You can be a nerd about anything. My nerd card shows in history, literature and Greek mythology. Persephone is where I get my (stage) name from.” But during the festival, she’ll reprise her Luigi act.

SAT. NOV. 17 | The reigning goblin king of garage rock ’n’ roll returns to New Orleans on a solo acoustic tour, which strips down the hyper-prolific songwriter’s catalog in a series of intimate shows following 2018’s rowdy “Freedom’s Goblin” and likely a few hundred other releases by the time this is printed. Emmett Kelly of The Cairo Gang opens at 10 p.m. at One Eyed Jacks.

Iceage and Black Lips MON. NOV. 19 | 2018’s “Beyondless” from Copenhagen post-punk outfit Iceage is far from the band’s juvenile anarchic gloom of the early 2010s and instead explodes with an expansive rock ’n’ roll. (An essay from Richard Hell in the liner notes compares its lyrics to Charles Baudelaire and its music to “pure emotion.”) The band is joined by perennial party band Black Lips. Surfbort opens at 8 p.m. at One Eyed Jacks.

BUDGET TIME AT CITY COUNCIL

Herman C. Soong and Connie Soong donated $10 million to the Louisiana State University (LSU) School of Veterinary Medicine, the school’s largest donation ever. Herman Soong is an assistant professor of adult psychiatry and forensic neuropsychiatry at Tulane University School of Medicine and works with LSU on animal abuse issues.

U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy sent out an Election Day tweet saying “Find out where to vote before it’s too late” — that directed voters to a website run by the Republican National Committee. It also asked for an email address and a mobile phone number. A similar tweet by Senate counterpart John Neely Kennedy properly directed voters to the Secretary of State, as did one by House Majority Whip Steve Scalise.

New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell presented her first citywide budget as mayor on Nov. 1. This week, the New Orleans City Council will hold meetings to hear budget breakdowns and pitches from City Hall departments and agencies. The council is scheduled to adopt the budget Nov. 29. The City Charter requires the budget to be adopted by Dec. 1. Cantrell’s $1.1 billion budget includes more than $698 million from the city’s general fund and another $419.6 million from grants and other funds. The hearings likely could shed more light on what’s become a sometimes adversarial executive-legislative relationship between Cantrell’s administration and the City Council as council members scrutinize Cantrell’s proposed budget, including millions of dollars earmarked for the recently launched CleanUP NOLA program. The mayor’s revenue projections could also draw close council scrutiny. The council and Cantrell already have butted heads over several budget issues. The council voted for a special election to raise more money for senior services, a move Cantrell criticized, and Cantrell pitched funding to address the Sewerage & Water Board’s shortfalls while the council was aggressively hammering the agency over its billing crisis. All budget hearings begin at 9 a.m. in the Council Chamber. Here’s a look at the schedule: • Mon. Nov. 12: The mayor’s office, Office of Code Enforcement, the CAO, law department, Youth Study Center, New Orleans Business Alliance and civil service • Tue. Nov. 13: New Orleans police and fire departments, Orleans Parish District Attorney, and criminal, civil, municipal and traffic courts • Wed. Nov. 14: Juvenile Court, Public Defender’s Office, Louisiana Center for Children’s Rights, New Orleans Recreation Development Commission, New Orleans Council on Aging, Total Community Action, Arts Council of New Orleans • Thu. Nov. 15: Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office, Coroner’s Office, Downtown Development District, French Market Management Corporation, New Orleans Redevelopment Authority PAGE 8

IN ITS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FINANCE PLAN released last week, HousingNOLA — a coalition of housing organizations that compiled a 10-year plan for creating more than 33,000 affordable units in New Orleans — examined the gaps in funding for those units after public investment. HousingNOLA estimates construction, renovation and other costs would require roughly $6 billion from both public and private investment. SOURCE: HOUSINGNOLA

Muck Rock mucks up? Before the whole thing was covered in white paint a few days after it went up, a graffiti mural of former Mayor Dutch Morial was mistakenly painted as City Hall fixture Bob Tucker, whose appearance occupied the exterior of a French Quarter house that was once owned by Jacques Morial, Dutch’s son. On Nov. 2, graffiti artist Jules Muck first painted Tucker, with “Dutch” written next to his image, on 936 N. Rampart St. By the next morning, the mural looked more like the former mayor. A Google Image search of Dutch Morial brings up several pages of results for the former mayor, but buried in the results is the image of Tucker, preserved on the New Orleans Public Library’s former website. Tucker’s pose in the photo is identical to the one in the mural. Tucker was one of the first black executive-level hires at City Hall under then-Mayor Moon Landrieu in 1970. Morial was the city’s first African-American mayor and served from 1978-1986. The men bear no resemblance other than the fact both are African-Americans. Muck, aka Muck Rock, is a white artist who has painted several controversial murals around New Orleans (among them: a gold-toothed chimpanzee near the former Lincoln Beach, the historically segregated Lake Pontchartrain area where blacks were “allowed” to swim; a swastika-adorned Charles Manson that later was repainted to be a clown smoking a joint). Residents were quick to criticize the artist for what they argued was her inability to distinguish the two black men; NOLA.com writer Doug MacCash later wrote that “the Morial portrait received some spirited criticism because the image didn’t look much like the Morial most people remembered.” On Twitter, the Music and Culture Coalition of New Orleans corrected MacCash, saying, “She’s being criticized for often painting blatantly offensive, ill-informed, disrespectful and occasionally racist imagery, in this case illegally in the French Quarter.” On Nov. 2, the Vieux Carre Commission (VCC) posted a pink stop-work order on the mural. The VCC does not allow “painting a mural or any type of sign or logo on a building

or wall surface,” according to its guidelines. In the VCC’s incident summary on Nov. 2, the VCC notes “paint deterioration present on the property” and “graffiti impermissible” and “mural painted on the building.” The VCC returned to the property on Nov. 5, as the mural was being covered up. Property owner Jeffrey Farshad also did not have a paint permit to cover it up, according to the VCC. According to assessor records, Farshad bought the property from Jacques Morial in 2011. The building was raided by the FBI and Internal Revenue Service several years before that, when then-Mayor Marc Morial (Dutch’s son and Jacques’ brother) was the target in a federal probe. Agents arrived with a search warrant and a battering ram. The raid garnered lots of attention but produced only a mundane tax case. Tucker told Gambit several people had called him about the mural, and it gave him a “chuckle.” “Maybe we all do look alike,” he joked.

S&WB: We’ve got no cash on hand The New Orleans Sewerage & Water Board’s drainage system has completely depleted its cash reserves as the utility’s financial picture continues to worsen, officials said last week. Chief Financial Officer Yvette Downs said during a meeting of the board’s Finance Committee that as of the end of September, the drainage system no longer had enough cash on hand to pay for a single day’s expenses. The situation could delay some payments, Downs told the committee, though she said after the meeting that she could likely shift money temporarily from the utility’s other departments in order to minimize problems paying vendors or dealing with other cash needs. Because the drainage system can borrow money from the utility’s water and sewerage departments, the lack of funds doesn’t mean the utility will stop manning the drainage pumps or doing other work aimed at keeping the city from flooding. But it represents an ominous milestone in the S&WB’s efforts to put its finances back on track after a year of billing problems and emergency expenditures that forced it to tap into its reserve accounts. Overall, the utility now has about 53 days of cash on hand. The water system has enough reserves to keep itself running for 106 days, and the sewerage system has about 40 days’ worth of funding.

Legendary New Orleans reporter Frank Donze dies at 64 Frank Donze, one of New Orleans’ deans of political journalism, died Nov. 3 at 64. The cause was a heart attack, according to friends and family. Donze, a 9th Ward native, majored in print journalism at Louisiana State University and joined the staff of The Times-Picayune in 1977 in the St. Bernard Parish bureau. In the early 1980s, he moved to the City Hall beat for which he would become best known, covering five mayoral administrations and various New Orleans City Councils while honing a reputation as a particularly thoughtful and thorough reporter who was trusted by readers, revered by colleagues and respected by politicos. (In a tweet, former Mayor Mitch Landrieu called Donze “a New Orleans legend” and a “superb reporter and a class act in life.”) Donze also covered the expansion of gambling in Louisiana, and was part of the paper’s reporting team that received the Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of Hurricane Katrina and the federal levee failures. After The Times-Picayune let him go along with a couple of hundred others in the 2012 “digital transition,” Donze went to work for The Audubon Institute in public relations, where he worked until his death. Donze is survived by his wife Elizabeth Finney Donze and daughters Caroline Elizabeth Donze and Victoria Grace Donze. At press time, a funeral Mass was set for Nov. 10 at St. Pius X Catholic Church. (For more, see Clancy DuBos’ “Politics,” p. 11.)

Louisiana transgender advocates push back against proposed Trump policies More than 3,200 Louisiana health care workers and public health organizations — including Tulane University’s School of Medicine — have signed a letter with the state’s largest transgender advocacy group against a proposed policy from President Donald Trump’s administration that would narrowly define gender, dras-

utive Director Ghassan Korban has said the S&WB is trying to delay projects and find other ways to reduce or postpone expenses in order to rebuild its reserve accounts. Downs said she’ll work on solutions for the drainage system. “We’ll be strategizing over the next few weeks. We definitely need all our partners at the table with us to identify additional sources of funding,” she said. — JEFF ADELSON | THE NEW ORLEANS ADVOCATE

tically rolling back protections for transgender and intersex people. The letter from Louisiana Trans Advocates was delivered last week to the U.S. Department of Health and Hospitals, which The New York Times revealed was preparing unilateral changes to civil rights law that would redefine gender based on the sex on one’s birth certificate. The letter also was sent to Gov. John Bel Edwards and state Attorney General Jeff Landry, who won a court battle against Edwards’ executive order that would extend anti-discrimination language to LGBTQ employees of the state. The letter points to the medical community’s consensus about the existence of transgender and intersex people, and warns against significant “poor health outcomes” as the the result of legalized discrimination. “We urge you to instead adopt policies to ensure that transgender and intersex people can be more meaningfully included in society without fear of discrimination and the poor health outcomes that result,” the letter says.

City Council’s new website features ‘crime dashboard’ A recently launched crime “dashboard” on the New Orleans City Council’s redesigned website gives residents a glimpse into the city’s criminal justice system, including a “snapshot” at the city’s jail population and a chart logging major crimes from the New Orleans Police Department’s database of calls for service. The dashboard was built by Jeff Asher, a New Orleans-based crime analyst and the Council’s Public Safety Analyst. In a statement, Asher said the tool is “critical to showing our shrinking jail population and highlighting ways the system is succeeding and needs work.” Council President Jason Williams said he has been working on a publicly available dashboard since his previous term on the City Council. “The public deserves absolute transparency as it relates to public safety and they should have unfettered, unfiltered access to the actual data that measures that effort,” he said in a statement “Having a real baseline such as this can tell us where we are succeeding and where we are failing.” The dashboard is available at council.nola.gov/committees/criminal-justice-committee.

COMMENTARY

Recapping the midterms IN LAST WEEK’S MIDTERM ELECTIONS, LOUISIANA VOTERS OFFERED MIXED RESULTS. They reinforced the status quo by re-electing all six U.S. House incumbents. All were overwhelming favorites. Voters also soundly rejected the status quo by approving Constitutional Amendment 2, which abolishes the state’s century-old rule allowing nonunanimous verdicts in felony cases. The amendment garnered support from liberals and conservatives alike. Voters responded with a 64-36 perA DVO C AT E S TA F F P H OTO B Y cent vote in favor.

My eighth grade classmates and I were sitting in the stands of the Holy Cross School gymnasium when the kid next to me struck up a conversation. What struck me immediately was his raspy voice — it had a disarming warmth, almost a softness, to it. He told me how he and his friends had just come to Holy Cross from St. Cecilia Elementary School in the Upper 9th Ward (this was before the name “Bywater” came into vogue), and he had some questions for me because I had attended “The Cross” (as 9th Warders referred to our school) since seventh grade. What I recall most about our first conversation isn’t what we said, but the way he made me feel so comfortable talking to a guy I’d never met before. His name was Frank Donze. We became fast friends, and our friendship grew and deepened over the next 50 years — through high school, college, during our time together as reporters at The Times-Picayune, right up to the morning of Nov. 3, when I got the phone call telling me that Frank had died of a heart attack several hours earlier. He was 64, and irreplaceable. Even as an eighth grader, the guy with the raspy voice who would one day become the city’s best political reporter had a knack for asking tough questions — and for putting people at ease as he did it. Frank joined The Times-Picayune in 1977 and earned his chops covering the often wild politics of St. Bernard and Plaquemines parishes. In the early 1980s he moved to City Hall, where he quickly earned the trust and respect of everyone at all levels of government. The things that made Frank a great reporter were the same things that made him a great human being: He was honest, humble, respectful, generous, compassionate, hard-working, dedicated to his family and to his craft, and above all, fair. He never took a cheap shot, nor did he pull any punches. Frank had no ego; there was no pretense about him. He was just Frank, the kid from the Upper 9 who loved to hang with his friends, help strangers, observe his corner of the world and share his remarkable insights. He treated everybody alike, and everybody liked him. Gordon Russell, who worked with Frank at The Times-Picayune and now serves as managing editor

of The New Orleans Advocate, compared Frank’s style to that of TV’s detective Columbo, whose disarming manner and persistence always got his targets to fess up. I can still hear Frank asking a mayor or council member, “Before we go, just one more thing…” As a columnist, I often have to rely on the reporting of others, and I make a habit of fact-checking them. Good reporters welcome that. With Frank, I never had to fact-check. His stories always hit the reporter’s trifecta — accurate, fair and insightful. He had a rare gift: He could view issues and politicians from several angles at once. Frank and I gave the final presentation to the Loyola Institute of Politics class every spring, and one of my favorite memories of him was the time he summed up Ray Nagin’s term as mayor by reading a list of Nagin’s most outrageous quotes. (Of the airport, as a candidate in 2002: “I’m gonna sell that sucka.” On the 10th anniversary of “The Vagina Monologues” being performed in New Orleans: “I’m a vagina-friendly mayor.”) No one else would have thought of that. Only Frank. Frank was kicked to the curb during the T-P’s “digital transition” in 2012, but the paper’s loss was the Audubon Nature Institute’s gain. He became the organization’s spokesman. Years after leaving the City Hall beat, Frank was still sought

out by politicians and reporters. He never missed a step. Most people have several orbits of friends. Frank had solar systems of friends. He was the sun that held each one together, not because he sought to be the center of attention, but because people just naturally gravitated to him. Fellow reporter and columnist Stephanie Grace called his newsroom desk “mission control” because no day could begin without first checking in with Frank. I’ll remember many things about Frank, but mostly I’ll remember him as the kid who did me the supreme honor of befriending me all those years ago at Holy Cross. His life reflected our school’s code — “The Holy Cross Man” — which ends with these words: “[H]e is a man of faith and honesty, of strength of character through self-mastery, of respect for the Christian family and lawful authority, of leadership in the pursuit of the true, the good, and the beautiful — that is the Holy Cross Man.” That was Frank Donze. I miss him so much already. Frank’s family and friends have established The Frank Donze Memorial Fund at the LSU Foundation in his honor at https://tinyurl.com/ ForFrankDonze. Donations will benefit the Manship School of Mass Communications and help future journalists explore their passion.

BLAKE PONTCHARTRAIN™ Hey Blake,

Events

I went to East Jefferson High School and we had our prom on the S.S. President riverboat in 1962. What can you tell me about the history of the boat and some of the bands that performed on it?

Spiritual Gifts French Quarter Short Stories Book Launch & Signing with the author & illustrator

RICHARD

Dear Richard,

The S.S. President was built in 1924 and originally was named the S.S. Cincinnati. The last known sidewheel steamboat in the country, it carried passengers and freight from Ohio to Kentucky and made its first trips to New Orleans for Mardi Gras in the 1920s. In 1929, the boat was acquired by Streckfus Steamers, which converted it into an excursion boat and renamed it the President. State rooms were removed to create a two deck-high ballroom featuring a dance floor that could accommodate up to 3,000 people. The President made New Orleans her home port in 1941 and became one of the city’s most popular night spots, offering dance and concert cruises. During the 1950s and ’60s, the house band was the CrawfordFerguson Night Owls. In April 1970, the President hosted an evening concert featuring Pete Fountain and Clyde Kerr Sr., which was notable since it was the first event of the first-ever New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Jazz Fest cruises continued on the President for nearly 20 years, with headliners Fats Domino, Professor

Wednesday, November 28, 6-7:30pm Garden District Book Shop The Rink, 2727 Prytania St.

1981 music fans piled aboard the riverboat President to see... Iggy Pop?

Longhair, Tina Turner, James Brown, B.B. King and more. Other entertainers to perform on the President included The Rolling Stones, U2, Jerry Garcia, Cyndi Lauper, Jerry Lee Lewis, Etta James, Roy Orbison and The Mamas and the Papas, as well as local favorites Irma Thomas, The Neville Brothers, Dr. John, Allen Toussaint and The Meters. In 1985, the President was sold and for the next several years split time between New Orleans and St. Louis, leaving for good in 1990. After operating for several years as a riverboat casino, the President was decommissioned in 2000, dismantled in 2009 and now lies in pieces near St. Elmo, Illinois.

Luna Press Holiday Launch Saturday, December 8, 4-7pm

BLAKEVIEW ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO this week, New Orleanians joined people around

the world in celebrating the news of the armistice signed to end World War I. “The news … was read in most New Orleans homes just as the dawn was breaking — a dawn that ushered in not only the close of the great war, but a new era for the world, an era of true freedom and democracy,” The Times-Picayune reported Nov. 12, 1918, the day after the armistice was signed. “All New Orleans went wild,” reported a front page article in The New Orleans States. “Sirens shrieked, whistles blew and bells rang. To the pandemonium of noise, the church bells added their peals. All New Orleans awakened.” Canal Street stores closed as the street quickly filled with people joining the celebration. A huge night parade was staged by the Elks and Red Cross organizations, attended by about 5,000 people, according to The New Orleans Item. A fireworks display in Elks Place followed. In 1920, a World War I memorial arch honoring 1,261 9th Ward residents who were killed in action, served in the armed forces or contributed to the war effort, was dedicated on Burgundy St. In 1970, a statue depicting a “doughboy,” as World War I soldiers and Marines were called, was dedicated near Tulane Avenue and S. Galvez St.

Nolakorea serves traditional Korean dishes in Metairie BY H E L E N F RE U N D @helenfreund METAIRIE HAS SEEN A TINY BOOM

in Korean and Korean-inspired restaurants in the past few years. Korea House has been the cuisine’s standard bearer for years, and it has been joined recently by Gogi Korean Restaurant on Veterans Memorial Boulevard and Gin Korean BBQ Restaurant on N. Arnoult Road. This summer, Nola Korea opened in a strip mall on Cleary Avenue. Nolakorea isn’t a tabletop-barbecue grilling joint and instead offers a straightforward selection of traditional dishes. A recent meal started with the arrival of a selection of banchan, small plates of items meant to complement a meal. They included sesame-laced cucumbers, sweet strips of fish cake, crumbling tofu marinated in soy sauce and a fiery house-made kimchi. Fried dumplings, or pot stickers, are crispy dough pockets filled with a cabbage, vegetables and pork, served with a scallion-laced soy dipping sauce, and they’re a good light appetizer. Korean-style fried chicken has become popular, and the version here features batter-heavy, craggy-edged pieces. Nolakorea’s ganjang chicken wings arrived with a perfectly cooked crispy-skinned shell, a thick, bronze lacquer of Korean teriyaki sauce and sprinkle of sesame seeds. Each bite gave way to tender meat with a subtle sweet and salty finish. Larger dishes included Korean staples such as bibimbap and beef bulgogi, but I found myself gravitating to the pork version, jeyuk-bokkeum. Stir-fried strips of marinated pork and onions are served in a shimmer-

ing crimson sauce, which gets heat from gochujang, a fermented Korean chili paste. Though tasty, the dish had unexpected sweetness, and several dishes were too sweet. Tteok-bokki arrived swimming in a one-dimensional saccharine-sweet sauce. The tasty rice cakes are usually the star of this dish, but they didn’t stand up to the odd inclusion of pieces of hot dog (described on the menu as “ham”) and an overly sweet sauce. On the menu, chili pepper icons are meant to inform diners of a given dish’s spiciness, but I found few dishes delivered the promised levels of heat. One exception was a plate of kimchi-jjigae, which was lip-searingly hot in the best possible way. The bright crimson stew is served bubbling in a traditional clay

The restaurant doesn’t serve alcohol, but a delicious sweet cinnamon iced tea was oddly reminiscent of Mexican horchata, but without milk. It was sugary but refreshing.

There is a double-patty burger dressed with American cheese on a poppy-seed bun and a gussied-up version with pickled red onions and foie gras compound butter. “It’s fun things that are familiar, and we’re just flipping things around a bit,” Pulsinelli says. Potato tots are stuffed with braised oxtail and served with blackberry ketchup. The restaurant makes its own hot dogs and serves them with crab-fat coleslaw. Corndog “elotes” are topped with lime crème hominy for crunch. Red beans are served with smoked octopus. Diners may recognize a few of the dishes from a pop-up Pulsinelli ran periodically at Turkey & The Wolf. The menu features burrata and short rib hand pies, shrimp rings with finger lime cocktail sauce, Zapp’s-crusted drum fish with a green sauce gribiche (traditionally a mayonnaiselike sauce with cucumbers, capers and herbs), and macaroni and cheese with pulled pork, cheddar and bechamel, finished with a spicy mayonnaise. The bar serves a couple of frozen drinks, a few local beers, Miller High Life ponies and regular and large-format cocktails that are available to go. The restaurant is loosely inspired by Pulsinelli’s interests in ’90s rap and skateboarding culture, and the

EAT+DRINK name is a reference to the chef’s hip-hop alter-ego. Pulsinelli has recorded several hip-hop albums with tongue-in-cheek lyrics that reference food and kitchen culture. The overarching theme won’t hit guests over the head, Pulsinelli says. “It’s just small nuances of the place,” Pulsinelli says. “We incorporated skateboarding without it being so obvious and corny.” Pulsinelli ran the kitchen at John Besh’s flagship restaurant August in the Central Business District until a few months ago, when he left to open his eatery. The restaurant group — renamed BRG Hospitality — is a partner. It’s the first restaurant the group has opened in New Orleans since Besh stepped down amid allegations of widespread sexual misconduct at his restaurants, and was replaced by new CEO Shannon White. Pulsinelli said his ownership in the company can increase over time, and he and his wife eventually will have the option to own the restaurant themselves. The restaurant is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. — HELEN FREUND

CLOSED MONDAY

cational seminars at the New Orleans Jazz Museum at the U.S. Mint 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 17. Cheese expert Liz Thorpe (www.lizthorpe.com), author of “The Book of Cheese,” will lead three seminars exploring different styles of cheese with tastings and wine pairings. She also will discuss her history with cheese — from being vice-president of New York’s Murray’s Cheese to founding her own consulting company, The People’s Cheese. Thorpe spoke with Gambit about cheese.

What makes you so passionate about cheese? Thorpe: My career has been about getting more cheese to more people, and I’ve done that through books and the businesses I run. Every time I meet someone, they’re like, “I love cheese.” Everyone has this friendly, warm, excited feeling about cheese as a food, so my focus has been taking this thing that can be quite expensive and perceived as being snobby, elitist, foreign and inaccessible and trying to make it more readily available.

What are some common misconceptions about cheese? T: People have very set ideas about what certain things mean. The two most maligned cheeses are blue cheese and goat cheese. People have a clear picture in their head of what goat cheese is and it’s usually a negative one. They don’t realize that the one goat cheese they had is a particular style and that goat milk can be turned into lots of different styles. Cheese can be creamy, mild, hard, sharp, aged and there’s this huge flavor spectrum even within a given style. With blue cheese, there are really mild ones and really sharp ones. The most important thing about modern cheese making is that we are making so much great cheese in the United States. I think it’s a crying shame that when we hear the phrase “American cheese,” we think of the floppy yellow slice on whatever fast food burger. It has its place on a burger and can be really good, but there are

thousands of farms across the U.S. that are making all kinds of cheeses from all kinds of milks and all styles. (At the festival) we have a lot of American cheese makers coming, but in particular, we went out and pursued a lot of Southern cheese makers. There is a cheese-making renaissance in the American South right now. Not a lot in Louisiana, but there are lots of cheese makers in Georgia, Tennessee, the Carolinas and Alabama. I think people think of American cheese as the “crappy” cheese and actually, American cheese in many cases is the best cheese and people just haven’t tasted them. In many parts of the South, the climate is such that (producers can) do things agriculturally that are impossible in places like Vermont, New York and Wisconsin, because of winter. (Southern producers) can have animals outside year-round and on grass all yearround and that’s a very special characteristic for the South.

Do you have a favorite cheese? T: I have two children and I feel like I’m not allowed to have a favorite child and I’m not allowed to have a favorite cheese. But, like my children, I have a favorite at any given moment, depending on what’s going on. When it’s cold and rainy, I tend to gravitate toward really hearty, aged, melting cheeses like the ones traditionally made in Switzerland and France. In the summertime, I love lots of fresh, milky, light cheeses that I can use for composing salads. But if I had to pick one style I would say I love the soft, stinky cheeses the best. — HELEN FREUND

AFTER MOVING INTO ITS PERMANENT HOME in its treehouselike Bywater hideout, the Music Box Village and its “instruments” have shaped several site-specific performances incorporating the village’s musical architecture, familiar-shaped structures functioning as instruments one can “play.” Audiences are immersed in a panoramic soundscape, where each seat in the house receives a unique mix of the score from a playground orchestra of whooshing pulley-controlled tubes, a light-filled gauzy tent studded with bells, a droning telephone booth, percussive floorboards and ambient hums. After half a century of boundary-pushing performance, Sun Ra Arkestra — the body behind and alongside cosmic jazz supernova Sun Ra — continues to feed its thrill of discovery. On Nov. 16-17, the group performs at the Village, where the Arkestra will meet “instruments” it’s never seen or touched before, finding new vessels to connect the diaspora to Sun Ra’s expanding universe. The Afrofuturist visionary sought human liberation through ecstatic performance, and his Arkestra has continued in that spirit following his death in 1993. “We’re putting these musicians who have been at it for years and years and years to a totally unique test that they haven’t dealt with before,” New Orleans Airlift organizer Jay Pennington told Gambit. “We don’t normally put one band to the test in that way.” The Arkestra performs under the direction of pioneering saxophonist Marshall Allen (pictured), who had performed with Sun Ra since the late 1950s. Tickets $30 in advance, $35 day of the show. The group performs 7 p.m. Friday-Saturday, Nov. 16-17. Allen will lead a Q&A before Saturday’s show. The Music Box Village, 4557 N. Rampart St.; www.musicboxvillage.com.

REVIEW

GIVING GUIDE TO

‘Human Threads’ and ‘36 Views of the Gulf’ BY D. ERIC BOOKHARDT JACQUELINE BISHOP’S “HUMAN THREADS” series of paintings on linen, paper and vintage girls’ dresses reflects her ongoing exploration of how civilization “Peaceable Kingdom” by Jacqueline Bishop. and wild nature affect each other. In an age when natural disasters occur with increasing frequency as global warming continues, works like “Peaceable Kingdom” (pictured) depict our strained relationship with nature. Here a muddy mound of roses, pitcher plants, exotic sea birds and viny tendrils smolder under a fiery sky, where flocks of small birds and fish ply smoky convection currents in an apocalyptic painterly crescendo that amounts to a capsule history of planet Earth. In an age of mass distraction, it often is hard to see the forest for the trees even as vast tracts of them burn out of control, but “Ginko,” a kind of camouflage pattern painted on a girl’s vintage cotton dress, reminds us that this ancient tree species survived for millions of years through its resilience. “Natural History” offers a contrasting narrative in the form of a blue monolith, like an iceberg in which the ghostly remains of extinct species are entombed like Egyptian pharaohs in their pyramids. By transcending linear approaches to time and space, Bishop imbued these works with a deja vu quality that amounts to an evolving visionary ecology in its own right. Francis X. Pavy’s “36 Views of the Gulf South,” inspired by Hokusai’s similarly titled woodblock series inspired by Mount Fuji, effectively illustrates the way south Louisiana’s lush tropical nature has inspired the richness of its culture. Works like “The Moth Where Your Heart Should Be,” a simple yet mysterious composition of marsh grass, moths and hands with crossed fingers, demonstrates the almost hieroglyphic fluency of Pavy’s work as a kind of visual language that blends coastal ecology with the topography of the psyche in a place where, as Lafcadio Hearn once put it, “all things seem to dream.” Through Dec. 22.
