SEVEN THINGS TO DO IN SEVEN DAYS
Adult content
Stephen Hough TUE. JAN. 28 | Masterful British and Australian pianist and composer Stephen Hough was the first classical performer to receive a MacArthur Fellowship, holds a slew of titles, and has performed with most of the world’s major orchestras. New Orleans Friends of Music presents Hough in a concert of works by Bach, Busoni, Chopin, Liszt and his own piano sonata. At 7:30 p.m. at Tulane University’s Dixon Hall.
Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, aka Tim & Eric, perform at the Joy Theater Feb. 3 BY MATT SIGUR IF YOU DON’T GO to Tim & Eric’s Man-
datory Attendance Tour show, you’ll be fined. “There’s a $750 fine that will be imposed at the end of the year, sort of like Obamacare,” says Tim Heidecker, half of the comedy duo. “Anybody who is going is required to report anyone they know who hasn’t gone. We feel like there will be enough people going that the message will spread pretty quickly.” The show at Joy Theater Monday, Feb. 3, also falls on Heidecker’s birthday, and he wants locals to give him the best of everything. “I do need someone to surprise me and bring a marching band during our encore,” he says. “This is my official appeal to the people of ‘N’awlins’ to honor my birthday with all the local traditions of the city. Etouffee!” As a duo, Heidecker and Eric Wareheim’s sense of humor mixes in healthy doses of sarcasm, absurdity and cringeworthiness. Bits are repeated ad nauseam. Characters flub lines. Awful-looking fonts and slideshows accompany worse jingles. Or, as in the above quotation, one word often is blurted out and left to stand alone. Over the past 15 years, the duo’s comedy has lived just outside the mainstream, in Adult Swim shows including “Tim & Eric’s Awesome Show, Great Job!” and “Check It Out! With Dr. Steve Brule,” which also starred John C. Reilly. Sketches from the “Awesome Show” include Heidecker and Wareheim playing competing salesmen who offer “premium prices.” In a commercial parody, a stuffed toy named “B’owl,” a hybrid bat and owl, is advertised as a perfect gift for dads, teenagers, “pep-pep” and “nana.” As memes, gifs and clips of the show have gone viral, the pair’s cult following has grown. However absurd the bits may be, the material translates easily to the stage.
TUE. JAN. 28 | A veteran of late 1980s soul and R&B group Tony! Toni! Tone!, Raphael Saadiq has had a successful career as a solo artist and producer, and released the widely acclaimed “Jimmy Lee”(named for his deceased brother) in August 2019. Jamila Woods and DJ Duggz also perform at 8 p.m. at House of Blues.
Riarosa FRI. JAN. 31 | Baton Rouge dream pop outift Riarosa is worth keeping an eye on. The young band has quickly become one of the standouts of the Capital City’s indie rock community, with dreamy, neon-touched, danceable grooves. With People Museum and Mosquito Eater at 9 p.m. at One Eyed Jacks.
“Every idea and sketch usually starts in a somewhat grounded place,” Heidecker says. “Most of the bits from the live show are grounded in some kind of reality, too, like what the expectations are for a live show.” Onstage, the two comedians goof around like they do on the TV show. “Most people experience our stuff alone or with a few people, and it’s such a different experience to watch that with a bunch of different people and to feel that energy from a lot of people,” Heidecker says. “The show isn’t designed like jokelaugh-joke-laugh,” he said. “There will be people who react differently at different parts. There’s this really interesting rolling wave of laughter that happens in certain places. Those are the most interesting parts of the show to me.” The two also dip into satire. On the Mandatory Attendance tour, Heidecker says there are some comments on the current state of comedy. “There is a little mocking the anti-PC and how butt-hurt people can be about not being able to say anything,” he says. “But it’s also this joke of Eric and I being on this quest to become mainstream and be loved by everyone, and how silly an idea that is.”

The duo’s new Tim & Eric show, “Beef House,” will premiere on Adult Swim later this year. It’s another deadpan, offbeat take on a sitcom in which Heidecker plays a slacker and Wareheim is a stay-at-home father, who live in a house with Wareheim’s wife and several other members of a rock band. “I don’t find most comedy that’s presented as comedy to be all that funny,” Heidecker says. “I’m not guzzling down every stand-up special that’s coming out. I like stupid, silly, inventive, creative stuff that I don’t see a lot of anymore.”
FRI.-SAT. JAN. 31-FEB. 1 | Between dates with his longtime mainstay band, the improvisation-friendly outfit Phish, singer-guitarist and prolific composer Trey Anastasio fills his time with his ever-expanding solo project. At 9 p.m. at Civic Theatre.
Deacon John and the Ivories SAT. FEB. 1 | Guitarist and bandleader Deacon John Moore is a master of New Orleans R&B and jump blues. He leads his longtime band The Ivories at 9 p.m. at Rock ’n’ Bowl.
Instigation Festival MON.-FRI. FEB. 3-7 | The musicdriven collaborative arts festival kicks off Monday with a performance by Chicago musicians Keefe Jackson, Mike Reed and Tomeka Reid and New Orleanians Dan Oestreicher, James Singleton and others at SideBar NOLA and a movement class led by Kai Knight of Silhouette Dance Center at Hotel Peter & Paul. Many jazz and improvisational musicians perform at various locations throughout the week.

Sen. John Neely Kennedy has introduced a bill to require abortion providers have admitting privileges to a hospital within 15 miles of their clinic.
SEN. KENNEDY INTRODUCES STRICTER NATIONAL ABORTION BILL Preservation Hall received a Lifetime Achievement Award from Folk Alliance International during the group’s International Folk Music Awards last week. The award, the highest honor bestowed by the the alliance, recognizes Preservation Hall’s cultural work and legacy. BeauSoleil was awarded the group’s Living Artist Lifetime Achievement Award, and Mahalia Jackson received a Legacy Artist award.
Mayor LaToya Cantrell’s administration tried to
deflect attention from the city’s failure to adequately deal with the collapsed Hard Rock Hotel by rebuking a resident for posting on social media photos of a corpse that became visible after a tarp that was covering it was blown out of place. Little has been done to the site since the hotel collapsed Oct. 12, killing three workers, injuring dozens and shutting down businesses and streets in the area.
The report by investment company Rhia Ventures also found that 54% of men ages 18 to 44 expressed the same sentiments. The report included a survey of 1,000 collegeeducated employees ages 18 to 64.
AS LOUISIANA’S STRINGENT ABORTION CLINIC ADMITTING PRIVILEGES
law makes its way to the Supreme Court, U.S. Sen. John Neely Kennedy, R-La., and Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., introduced an even more restrictive abortion bill at the federal level last week. The Louisiana law going to the Supreme Court in March would require abortion providers to have admitting privileges at hospitals within 30 miles of the clinic. Currently, only one of Louisiana’s three remaining abortion clinics would meet that requirement.The Supreme Court struck down a nearly identical Texas law in 2016 in Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt. The bill introduced by Kennedy and Biggs would take that restriction a step further, requiring admitting privileges to a hospital within 15 miles of an abortion clinic. Physicians violating the law would be fined and/or sentenced up to two years in prison. Research shows that serious complications following abortions are rare. During 2009 to 2013, just one in every 10,000 emergency room visits by U.S. women ages 15 to 29 was abortion related. Proponents of abortion restrictions, like Kennedy and Biggs, frame these types of laws as “common-sense” measures aimed at protecting women. But abortion-rights activists say they impose undue burdens on clinics in an attempt to shut them down and restrict women’s access.“At the end of the day, we’re looking at death by 1,000 cuts,” Steffani Bangel, executive director of the New Orleans Abortion Fund, said in an interview with Gambit last month. “All of these things are forced on patients [and] have no medical purpose but add to the cost and add to the internalized stigma that someone (having an abortion) may experience.” The federal proposal faces a tough battle and likely won’t pass through the Democrat-majority U.S. House of Representatives. In a statement about the bill, Kennedy said, “The abortion industry cuts corners at the expense of vulnerable people, and the Pregnant Women Health and Safety Act would ensure that women have easy access to vital protective care.” Reproductive rights attorney Ellie Schilling said such arguments are part of a concentrated effort to undermine abortion providers.

“The complication rates are so low and there is no evidence that abortion providers in general have worse health and safety records than any other category of physician,” Schilling said. “(Anti-abortion activists) are basically on a campaign of trying to malign doctors who provide abortions and trying to create this false narrative of there being some legitimate health and safety issue that needs to be addressed.” The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments in Louisiana’s case on March 4. — KAYLEE POCHE

A new tarp has been placed at the site of the partially collapsed Hard Rock Hotel to cover the remains of one of the dead workers trapped under the rubble. The new tarp comes after photos circulated on social media showing the legs of a dead worker, Quinnyon Wimberly, sticking out from under a mound of rubble on the 11th floor of the hotel. The collapse killed Wimberly and two other workers and injured dozens more. The public learned about the missing tarp Jan. 21, when local author Jules Bentley tweeted a photo of the exposed body. Officials said the original tarp was in place the day before, so it must have blown away overnight. Fire Supt. Tim McConnell said New Orleans officials learned about the missing tarp the same day Bentley tweeted a photo. Wimberly’s family reached out to officials when the social media posts gained traction, New Orleans Fire Department Chief Tim McConnell said, and the city began devising a plan to get tarps back in place. McConnell said crews are working to replace other tarps that had rips and tears. The original tarp was put on the building days after experts blew up two cranes that were leaning precariously after the Oct. 12 collapse. Wimberly’s body, as well as the body of Jose Ponce Arreola, who fell from the top of the 18-story structure and officials believe is buried under the rubble, will be recovered after the building is imploded, McConnell said. The latest iteration of the plan calls for a controlled implosion shortly after Mardi Gras, which is Feb. 25. — NOLA.COM STAFF REPORTS
Report says the city’s water has ‘forever chemicals’ The same toxic chemicals found in nonstick pans and shampoo are in New Orleans’ drinking water system at higher levels than previously thought, according to a report the Environmental Working Group (EWG) released Jan. 22. The environmental nonprofit tested
water in 44 areas in 31 states and the District of Columbia and found that New Orleans’ water system had levels of chemicals, known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), that reached 41.8 parts per trillion. Since 2016, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has had a health advisory for lifetime exposure to PFOS and PFOA — two types of PFAS — in drinking water set to 70 parts per trillion, but the limit is not enforceable. New Orleans’ water contains significantly less than that, but far more than the EWG’s recommended limit of 1 part per trillion, an amount the organization says is supported by independent studies. Of the places surveyed, New Orleans ranked eighth highest for its levels of PFAS in tap water. Only one location, Meridian, Mississippi, had no detectable traces of the chemicals. Two locations had levels of PFAS far above the EPA’s health advisory — Brunswick County, North Carolina, with 185 parts per trillion; and Quad Cities, Iowa, with 109.8 parts per trillion. Most people in industrialized countries have PFAS in their blood. They enter the body through consuming food or drinks that contain the chemicals. The chemical compounds then stay in the body for years, usually in the blood (and sometimes at lower levels in urine and breast milk), causing them to be dubbed “forever chemicals.” Research is still being conducted on the effects these chemicals have on the body, but they have been linked to increased cholesterol levels and higher cancer risks and have been shown to affect the body’s hormone levels and immune system. For people who are pregnant, the chemicals could lead to increased blood pressure in the mother, lower infant birth weights and developmental issues. In its report, the EWG outlines three treatments for water containing PFAS including granular activated carbon, ion exchange and reverse osmosis. According to its website, the S&WB tested the city’s drinking water for PFAS from 2013 to 2015 under former EPA guidelines and “found no presence of the half dozen tracked substances in New Orleans’ drinking water in either of our two water distribution systems.” The website notes, however, that a study performed by the EPA and the U.S. Geological Survey from 2010 to 2012 found “detectable traces of PFAS” in the New Orleans’ East Bank drinking water system. In December, the EPA announced the development of a new PFAS testing method that measures 29 chemicals, including “short chain” PFAS. On Jan. 10, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill targeting PFAS that would force the EPA to set a limit on PFOA and PFOS levels in drinking water — and enforce that limit. — KAYLEE POCHE

Spring 2020
THE PUBLIC’S FRUSTRATION AND FURY over the Hard Rock hotel con-
struction collapse reached a breaking point this week after a red tarp — hung on the structure’s 11th floor to cover the remains of a worker killed in the tragedy — blew loose, exposing part of the corpse to anyone walking or driving up North Rampart Street. The Hard Rock’s collapse was not the fault of city officials. Yet it’s hard to imagine a more mixed set of messages than those emanating from City Hall since the structure collapsed Oct. 12, more than three months ago. Mayor LaToya Cantrell said all the right things at first: that public safety was paramount; that recovering the remains of the three workers known to have died was just as important; and that the building’s developer would be held responsible. That last one has not happened. The biggest punishment meted out so far has been to Delmer Ramirez Palma, a Honduran national and experienced steelworker who had repeatedly insisted the construction project was not safe. Two days after the collapse, Ramirez Palma, who had been in the U.S. for 18 years, was arrested for fishing without a license; he was deported to Honduras a month later by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials. Little else connected with the Hard Rock collapse has moved so swiftly and definitively. Earlier this month — to widespread incredulity — Cantrell and city officials said the wreckage would not be dismantled until December, some 14 months after the collapse. Then the timeline accelerated significantly, to March. The project’s developer, 1031 Canal Development LLC, a consortium led by local builder Mohan Kailas, said in a statement that the city “has had control of the site since the incident first occurred.” Although the developer is responsible for completing

demolition, its most public response has been seeking permission to take down several additional buildings. The furor over the tarp came after Jules Bentley (a Gambit contributor) shared the image of the corpse and the dangling tarp on social media, saying he hoped public pressure would shame City Hall into action. Incredibly, the Cantrell administration’s initial response was to criticize publication of the images, calling it “irresponsible … indefensible, and … not who we are as New Orleanians.” The developer echoed the administration’s statement. What about the vulgarity of the exposed corpse itself? At a Jan. 22 news conference (which Cantrell did not attend), New Orleans Fire Supt. Tim McConnell took it a step further, saying the city had been in contact with Facebook and Twitter in an attempt to suppress the images. Given the routine photography of murder scenes in New Orleans, that speaks more to officialdom’s embarrassment than to respecting the families of the deceased. Cantrell’s office noted that replacing the tarp would be difficult because “the condition of the collapse site has deteriorated since the tarps were initially placed in October.” Nevertheless, city firefighters hung a new tarp the day after the images made national news. That quick response underscores the absurdity of initially accepting a 14-month demolition schedule. We hope the structure can be brought down soon and without further calamity. The city’s response thus far does not inspire optimism.

CLANCY DUBOS @clancygambit
Mayor Cantrell’s plate is full, and not with treats NOTHING TESTS A LEADER’S METTLE like a crisis, and
Mayor LaToya Cantrell has multiple emergencies on her plate these days. The recent cyberattack against City Hall computers, the Sewerage & Water Board’s many challenges and citizens’ anger over the Hard Rock Hotel collapse and juvenile crime top the list of mayoral challenges at the moment. And that list can grow at any time. Cantrell inherited the S&WB fiasco, and she gets high marks for responding as she promised during her 2017 campaign. She convinced state lawmakers to redirect millions of public dollars from tourism promotion to infrastructure, and she hopes to build a case for a citywide drainage fee. Still, she remains one downpour away from
another crisis on this front. Every big-city mayor in America has inherited a crime problem. The city’s murder rate fell to a nearly 50-year low in 2019, but certain other crimes, particularly auto burglaries (a fave of juvenile offenders), have spiked. The Lakeview and Lakeshore neighborhoods have seen a sharp increase in auto burglaries, so much so that nearly 1,000 residents turned out for an evening crime summit at Hynes Elementary School Jan. 21. Cantrell did not attend — she was out of town attending a mayoral conference and the Washington Mardi Gras — and her official representative bowed out at the eleventh hour, which further angered citizens already irate about juvenile crime. That could become yet another problem for Cantrell
on the matter of a drainage fee. When citizens are angry, they’re not likely to respond amiably to official requests for more money. The other two headaches — the cyberattack and the Hard Rock collapse — were neither inherited nor caused by Cantrell, but when you’re the mayor you’re responsible for handling whatever comes. All four crises loom as major threats to Heronner’s long-term popularity and political capital. Shortly after city workers discovered the cyberattack, the administration expressed hope that City Hall’s computer system would be back up by the New Year. Now it appears a full recovery will take months, and some services have ground to a near-halt. This, too, tries citizens’ patience. Then there’s the Hard Rock collapse, a calamity that

has triggered embarrassing national headlines and intense local outrage. Team Cantrell initially said demolition could take till December of this year, then shortened that deadline to March. Meanwhile, the City Council is set to hold a public hearing on the disaster — and the city’s response. No date for that hearing had been set as of press time, but Cantrell’s office issued a dismissive

reply to news of the council’s planned hearing. “Investigation into this incident will be handled by the appropriate law enforcement authorities within the judicial system,” a Team Cantrell statement read. “City legislators have no role in that process.” That response did not go over well with council members, who had respectfully deferred to Cantrell until now. District D Councilman Jared Jared Brossett reflected their collective frustration when he told The Lens, “Yesterday, Jan. 22, I received a brief email update from the Mayor’s Office. It was the first update I received on the collapse since fall of last year.” When she returns, Cantrell’s plate will be overflowing — and not with Mardi Gras treats.

Entergy is on a path to becoming the model for how energy companies address climate change. We have been a leader in sustainability for more than 20 years as the first investor-owned U.S. electric utility to voluntarily commit to stabilizing carbon emissions. And we’ve focused on technologies that have helped us achieve the fourth lowest CO2 emission rate in the country among our peers. But we know we can do more with aggressive goals and smart solutions. Our Solution: Vision 2030 and the Clean Energy Blitz In partnership with the city of New Orleans, we will build on our progress by continuing to innovate new strategies that combat climate change. We’ve detailed a plan to achieve our goal to provide 70% clean, zero-carbon emitting power to our New Orleans customers by 2030.Titled The Clean Energy Blitz, it includes increasing clean technologies at the regional and local levels, adding large-scale solar farms, increasing energy efficiency, electrifying local infrastructure and continuing our use of emission-free nuclear energy.This scientifically proven and smart strategy takes advantage of all tools at our disposal to achieve a cleaner future. Most importantly, our plan can be accomplished without abandoning our commitment to keeping customer costs among the lowest in the nation. Our plan to get to 70% carbonfree power would raise average rates to our service territory by only one percent. Plans proposed by others would drastically raise electric rates for our customers by as much as 65% between now and 2040. Experts from leading environmental groups such as the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions agree that Entergy New Orleans’ approach is the smart way to accomplish our clean energy goals while still serving the needs of our hard-working New Orleans customers. It’s my hope that, as we seek adoption of a way forward that works for everyone, the New Orleans community will join us in sharing this vision of a brighter and cleaner tomorrow.

BLAKE PONTCHARTRAIN™ Hey Blake, President Donald Trump became the most recent sitting U.S. president to visit New Orleans when he attended the LSU championship game. Who was the first?
Dear reader,
William McKinley became the first president to visit New Orleans during his term in office when he came here in May 1901. Although presidents before him had visited the city, their trips came before or after their terms in office. That includes George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant and Andrew Jackson, who famously led the American forces during the Battle of New Orleans. President McKinley and his wife, Ida, spent three days in the city in 1901, staying at the St. Charles Hotel, now the site of Place St. Charles. A large banquet was held there for them and their entourage, which included several members of the president’s cabinet. The next day the visitors led a parade through the streets of the city. “There were large crowds all along [St. Charles Avenue]. They cheered whenever they saw McKinley,” The Daily Picayune reported. The president also visited Southern University at New Orleans, which then was located in the 5100 block of Magazine Street, where he spoke to the African American student body and a large crowd of onlookers.

President William McKinley spent three days in New Orleans in 1901.
McKinley also visited the Cabildo and spoke to a crowd in Jackson Square. According to the Daily Item, he and his wife later traveled on the Mississippi River for two hours aboard the riverboat St. Louis. “The receptions accorded me by the Southern people are most gratifying,” McKinley told The Daily Picayune after his visit. “This New Orleans reception has been magnificent.” McKinley lived just four more months before he was assassinated on Sept. 14, 1901.

BLAKEVIEW THIS WEEK MARKS THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY of the opening of the legendary
music venue known as the Warehouse. Its name was simple and its surroundings spartan, but the building at 1820 Tchoupitoulas St. played host to the biggest names in rock from 1970 until 1982. The Warehouse was founded by Bill Johnston and partners Don Fox, Brian Glynn and John Simmons, who also co-founded the concert promotion business Beaver Productions. Originally called just “a Warehouse,” the venue had a capacity of 3,500 people. Admission to most concerts was $5. It opened on Jan. 30, 1970, with performances by Fleetwood Mac, the Grateful Dead and the Flock. Deadheads may know that the band’s 1970 song “Truckin’ ” references an incident from that weekend: the band being “busted down on Bourbon Street.” Police raided the band’s Bourbon Street hotel and arrested 19 people for drug possession. In addition to the Grateful Dead, nearly every major rock group of the 1970s played the Warehouse, from The Who, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd and Bob Dylan to Bob Marley, Led Zeppelin, ZZ Top, the Eagles, David Bowie, the Clash and others. The Allman Brothers became a sort of house band at the Warehouse. Jim Morrison’s last concert with The Doors was there on Dec. 12, 1970, just months before his death. The venue’s final show in September 1982 featured Talking Heads. The building was demolished in 1989.

Sour grapes A “F*CK YOUR WINE TARIFFS” dinner
hosted by Optown eatery Carrollton Market on Wednesday, Feb. 5, reflects the concerns of many local restaurateurs, wine drinkers and spirits merchants after President Donald Trump’s administration has threatened to place 100% tariffs on some European goods. Ongoing trade disputes are primarily about airplanes and tech companies, but the impact on the
Rockrose brings a Grecian touch to the CBD BY RE B EC C A F R I E D M A N MANY PEOPLE HAVE LOOKED TO GREECE FOR INSPIRATION over the
last 2,000 years. In New Orleans, the latest restaurant to do so is Rockrose in the International House Hotel. With Rockrose, Nick Asprodites and chef and business partner Brian Doyle emphasize light, elemental flavors of Greece and the Mediterranean region, with a heavy dose of seafood and a deft touch for balancing flavors. The restaurant space has been vacant for several years, and previously was home to a tapas concept, Rambla, and the Vietnamese cafe Lemongrass. Rockrose is decorated in a contemporary industrial style, featuring wood, metal and marble-topped tables. The menu includes several small plate options, starting with olives. Rockrose serves a bowl of its addictive version — marinated with citrus, coriander and fennel — for $6. The stellar chickpea panisse ($7) has chickpea fries stacked like a Jenga tower and is served with piquillo yogurt. Breaded zucchini fritters ($10) are a satisfying though heavier option, dominated by the flavors of pecorino sardo and feta cheeses and tzatziki. The spread sampler ($20) allows diners to try Rockrose’s house-made pita with three tasty dips: roasted red pepper, tzatziki and a delectable roasted eggplant tinged with smoke, honey, mint and almond. Grilled octopus receives a simple treatment of lemon, olive oil and fresh herbs and comes with black garlic potato salad. The dish was excellent, though $15 bought only one moderate-sized tentacle. Crab saganaki ($16), a hot dish of blue crab, spinach, fennel, preserved lemon and feta with a crunchy topping of phyllo flakes, resembles a deliciously Greek take on warm spinach dip. It is served with grilled pita. The menu includes two flatbreads, and a tasty preparation with spiced

lamb, feta, tomato sauce, yogurt and herbs ($13) could serve as a shared appetizer or an entree. The kitchen shows a flair for both fish and meat entrees. A fillet of drum special was served over chickpea puree with roasted carrots and a salad of greens and thinly sliced red onion. A perfect blend of acid and olive oil tied the dish together. Flounder ($29) was served with a carrot puree, brown butter, roasted root vegetables and a salad of shaved fennel and satsuma. Tender spicebraised lamb over orzo is a perfect winter dish, scattered with bits of kale and thin slices of Parmesan. Other highlights included a side dish of garlicky charred rapini with breadcrumbs and lemon anchovy vinaigrette and baklava topped with a cloud of whipped Greek cheese and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. The bar program reflects the restaurant’s Greek focus, with several wines that showcase the region, including a crisp white Moschofilero from Peloponnesos for $10 a glass. On the cocktail list, the Jonesy blends brandy, Cynar, ouzo and rye. Rockrose’s lunch menu offers sandwiches, including a lamb burger

wine industry would be substantial. “We’re a small pawn on the table,” says Jim Kuhner, owner of wine sales and marketing firm Coferment in Healdsburg, California. The U.S. slapped 25% tariffs on some wines and food items in October, and some of that cost was passed on to consumers. It’s not clear how businesses will respond if the changes are not temporary. Jim Yonkus, co-founder of The Independent Caveau NOLA in Central City, says a shipment of European cheese that arrived at the store last week cost 25% more than the same shipment in October. “I think some of the guys we deal with have eaten some of [the increase], but they can only eat it for so long,” Yonkus says. As for wine, Yonkus worries that customers won’t tolerate higher prices, even if a tariff increase falls far short of 100%. “When you start taking certain bottles and throwing 25 more points on it, I think there is a ceiling,” Yonkus says. He fears the prospect of even another 25% hike would mean a “death sentence” for small wine retailers. Jason Goodenough, chef/owner of Carrollton Market, is calling attention to the issue with the Feb. 5 dinner, which will feature French-

themed food and wine as well as baked goods from Mayhew Bakery. Goodenough is concerned about how the proposed tariffs will impact his business. “If you look at people’s disposable income, they’re already spending a lot of money to come eat with me,” he says. “If the price of wine goes up, it’s less accessible to people, and obviously it’s not good for me.” Goodenough said that in the event of further tariff hikes, he would stockpile French wine already sitting in U.S. warehouses rather than doubling the price of French wines on Carrollton Market’s list. “After we sold whatever we were able to sit on for a while, we would definitely shift the list away to more cost-effective wine,” he adds. In early December, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) announced it was considering a 100% tariff on French sparkling wine. The move was a response to France’s proposed digital sales tax on large tech companies, including U.S.-based Facebook, Google and Amazon. On Jan. 20, tweets from Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron suggested a truce in the conflict over sparkling wine tariffs, at least through the end of 2020, as digital taxation negotiations continue through the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in France. In addition to the digital tax dispute with France, the U.S. and European Union (EU) nations have been engaged in an ongoing fight involving aircraft manufacturers Airbus and Boeing, with each side accusing the other of unfair government subsidies. In October, the World Trade Organization (WTO) ruled that the U.S. could levy tariffs on up to $7.5 billion of EU goods. The USTR placed a 10% tariff on Airbus planes and a 25% tariff on wines below 14% alcohol by volume (ABV) from France, Spain, Germany and the U.K. as well as dozens of other European products, including Scotch and Irish whiskies, Italian cheeses and Greek yogurt. Though wines above 14% ABV and sparkling wines were exempted, affected wines included popular sauvignon blancs from the Loire Valley and bottlings from Cotes du Rhone and Bordeaux. In December, the USTR called for an expanded review of tariff policy that could include a 100% import tax on all wines from the EU as well as French cheese and enameled cookware. Kuhner says many Americans would be unwilling to pay the cost of a steep tariff hike, even for their favorite bottles.
“Psychologically, it will deter a lot of people who are wine lovers — the thought of a $15 Cotes du Rhone that would now be $30,” Kuhner says. “You know what the value is and that the price increase is based on these silly tariffs. You’re not going to buy it.” While some people believe that a tariff on European wines would benefit American producers, some industry experts argue the opposite, as many smaller importers and distributors deal in both European and domestic wines and would suffer serious or even fatal losses if they could no longer afford to import European labels. American producers who worked with those distributors could have a harder time getting their products to market. The price of American wines likely would rise, a cost that would be borne by consumers. The biggest consumers of American wine outside the U.S. are EU countries, which spent $469 million on California wines in 2018, according to the Wine Institute. Retaliatory tariffs from the EU could reduce demand from that market. — REBECCA FRIEDMAN
Italian getaway MAPLE STREET PATISSERIE (7638
Maple St., 504-304-1526; www. facebook.com/maplestpatisserie) is known for its assortment of European-style breads and pastries at its university neighborhood shop. Beginning Wednesday, Jan. 29, it introduces a lunch menu of traditional Italian fare with an emphasis on grab-and-go service. The limited menu includes four pizzas, with a meat and vegetarian pie, as well as a margherita and white pizza. Other dishes include meatball Parmesan, sausage and peppers and chicken Parmesan sandwiches. A California club features thin-sliced chicken. Married couple Patricia-Ann Donohue and Ziggy Cichowski have run the bakery for 10 years. The new Italian menu was inspired by a recent trip to Italy and quick meals grabbed at train stations and in the smaller cities and towns. “I’m half Italian and half Irish,” Donohue says. This past summer’s travels inspired her Italian side, she says. “Let’s start making our family meatballs. Let’s start making some of our family food,” she thought. The idea took hold as they traveled in Greece and visited Cichowski’s homeland of Poland. “We just got inspired,” she says, “which is why everyone says you should travel.” — ANDREA BLUMENSTEIN

CHEF WHEN CHEF AMANDA ALARD MOVED TO NEW ORLEANS from
Miami, she found a dearth of food that reflected her Cuban and Honduran heritage. Alard started Que Pasta (www.facebook.com/quepastanola), a popup that serves hand-made pastas, sweet and savory empanadas, pupusas and creative dishes like a Cuban sandwich served between guava pastelitos. Que Pasta now has a regular home at Twelve Mile Limit (500 S. Telemachus St.) and pops up elsewhere around town.
How did Que Pasta come about? ALARD: I moved here from a prominently Cuban part of Miami, so there was a culture shock when I realized I wasn’t going to get the food I was used to back home. I’m Cuban and Honduran, so I wanted to show people what my household was like — what the food was like growing up — because it’s really good. I was blessed to be raised with three cultures, even though I was raised very much in a Hispanic home. It wasn’t the most American. There were things I’d never tried before, like eggnog and grits. Coming here, I feel like I am learning how to be American, in a weird way. I was working, and I realized it’s hard for a female to get anywhere in this industry, so I decided to start my own thing and make my kitchen all about love and respect, where anyone can come in and shine. That’s what got me into doing Que Pasta.
How has being a Latina woman shaped your professional path? A: The first kitchen I worked for [in Miami] had people who were Colombian, Jamaican, Haitian, Brazilian. … Half were female, and I felt okay. You need to have a girl to have your back sometimes. The last kitchen I worked in was a great kitchen. I loved working there and felt welcome, but I was the only female. It felt like I

constantly had to be this bulletproof person. I basically broke all the rules in my family. I was the first female to leave home without being married off. I’m covered in tattoos, which is not a thing in our culture. My entire life has been geared towards becoming a chef. I told my mom I wanted to become a chef, and she was like, “Great, I’m sending you to beauty school. I think you can be creative and do hair and have a morning job so you don’t have to work until 3 o’clock in the morning.” I’m like, I don’t like the mornings. I would prefer to work until 3 a.m., and I like eating. I did a year of beauty school, and that helped me pay for culinary school. Now my mom is finally starting to get used to it.
What do you envision for the future? A: I’m trying to build a name for myself since I’m not from this city and not known to people. Essentially, all I’m doing now is trying to send money home to my family in Cuba and Honduras, which is like a war zone now. I’d really like to open my own restaurant/music venue or a 24hour bakery like they have in Miami. I miss going to a little corner store and getting a croqueta. A lot of people just see face value — you’re just cooking Cuban and Honduran food. I’m like, it’s so much more than that. I’m showing you a piece of my home. — REBECCA FRIEDMAN

PREVIEW Tool BY JAKE CLAPP DESPITE A 13-YEAR BREAK, Tool more or less picked up right where it left off when it roared back into the public eye on last year’s “Fear Inoculum,” the band’s fifth album. The new album release was paired with Tool’s entire catalog becoming available on streaming services for the first time, a move that reinvigorated longtime fans of the band who had almost given up on new Tool music while the mem-
bers focused on their side projects and making wine. All around, it was good planning. Tool came out swinging with a typically epic prog-metal record that was well-received by critics and fans. “Fear Inoculum” didn’t necessarily redefine Tool’s style, but it gave long-deprived listeners what they wanted — interesting, exciting rock that’s complex but has a slight smirk. Author & Punisher opens at 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 1. at Smoothie King Center, 1501 Dave Dixon Drive, (504) 587-3822; www.smoothiekingcenter.com. Tickets $61 and up.
