show that most Americans live in counties protected by levees. Those are Corpsdesigned and Corps-built levees. The Corps’ failures in New Orleans thus reflect a larger national problem, not an isolated local one. In the coming years, Congress must find the resolve to rebuild New Orleans and reform the Corps. Failure to do so will put blood on the hands of every congressman and senator when the next floodwall, levee or dam fails. Mark our words, America: What happened in New Orleans in 2005 is going to happen again, here and elsewhere, if Congress fails to reform the Corps. Another myth that must be dispelled is the two-pronged notion that New Orleans cannot be saved because it lies below sea level. As historian and levee board member John Barry notes, every deltaic port

city in the world lies at or below sea level. World commerce could not exist without those ports, including New Orleans. Moreover, at least half of New Orleans sits above sea level. Locally, we have to get past some myths of our own, such as the notion we can pump the city dry. As noted in Shearer’s film, the Dutch long ago realized that water can actually help control flooding. Yes, it’s counterintuitive, but it’s true. We have to incorporate drainage canals more effectively (and more aesthetically) into local landscapes. Water in proper proportions also raises the ground beneath us, which helps guard against rising sea levels. We have the opportunity right now to make these fundamental changes. Let’s not squander it. In many ways, the next five years will be even more critical to New Orleans’ recovery than the five years immediately following Katrina.

Gambit > bestofneworleans.com > SEPTEMBER 07 > 2010

s America moves past the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the air here is filled with both optimism and apprehension. Our optimism is justified. The city’s recovery is finally getting some traction beneath the soles of an energetic new mayor and City Council, and the feds have allocated more than $2 billion for a new teaching hospital and dozens of new public schools. Likewise, our apprehension is rooted in the knowledge (confirmed almost daily on network news) that too many Americans — including many of our nation’s leaders — still harbor fundamental misconceptions about Katrina and the flood that followed it. For the first five years after Katrina, south Louisiana struggled to recover and rebuild. In the next five years, we have to work just as hard to dispel lingering myths about what caused the flooding of 80 percent of New Orleans and what it will take to prevent such a catastrophe from happening again — here and elsewhere. In his searing documentary, The Big Uneasy, filmmaker, satirist and New Orleans champion Harry Shearer exposes some ugly truths that many in power have tried to keep buried since the floodwalls failed in 2005. We hope everyone in America watches Shearer’s film, for it strikes at the heart of what needs to happen in the next five years. For starters, America needs to understand that what happened in New Orleans was not, as so many continue to call it, “a natural disaster.” Far from it. What happened on the Mississippi Gulf Coast was a natural disaster. What happened in New Orleans was entirely manmade: the largest civil engineering failure in the history of the United States. This failure came at the hands of the United States government through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which lied for decades about the integrity of its floodwalls. Worse yet, after the storm, the Corps lied again and again — until its hand was finally and irrefutably called by scientists and citizen activists — about what caused the flood and about the integrity of “temporary” pumps the Corps installed after the storm at the mouths of local outfall canals. As Shearer’s film reveals, the Corps today tries to “look forward” by refusing to discuss its past failures and its endemic organizational flaws. That poses a grave danger. If people and elected officials across America fail to comprehend the scope — and the potential consequences — of the Corps’ bureaucratic intransigence, the next man-made disaster is not far away. And next time, it could happen anywhere in America. FEMA statistics

“It feels like BP is overdoing it. ... Every day you get up and see these full-page ads in every newspaper, and the TV ads. … Their ad campaign polishing the corporate image is going off like clockwork. I wish they would do a better job of actually addressing the economic damage to my state and small business owners.” — U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor, D-Fla., following a Sept. 1 hearing in which BP told the House Energy and Commerce Committee it spent a total of $93 million — $5 million a week — on advertising from April through July and has given Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana $89.5 million in grants to promote tourism after the April 20 oil disaster.

Primo was rushed to a veterinary hospital, where he died.

t has been three days since state Rep. Cedric Richmond’s Democratic primary victory in his second bid to become the next Congressman from New Orleans. He’s coughing and sniffling. “Oh man, this is terrible,” he says over the phone, postponing an interview about his future and that of the 2nd Congressional District. He mumbles something about the right mix of medications before begging off. Life on the campaign trail is a lot like being an elementary school teacher: You’re always coming into contact with germs, shaking hands, hugging strangers, losing sleep. But Richmond is on a mission to topple U.S. Rep Anh “Joseph” Cao, the Republican incumbent and the nation’s only Vietnamese-American ever to serve in Congress. In a follow-up interview, Richmond was still battling his cold, but now he was talking about what his first day in office would be like. He says he’ll file a bill to expedite sharing federal offshore royalty revenues with Louisiana to help with flood protection issues and coastal restoration. He says he also will seek a seat on one of the Hill’s money committees, preferably Appropriations, and maybe Homeland Security, so he can improve Louisiana’s infrastructure. Richmond says he’s already making connections in Congress; his campaign finance reports show evidence of that. During the final week before the Aug. 28 Democratic primary, he received $2,000 from U.S. Rep. Richard E. Neal, D-Mass., a member of the House Ways and Means Committee. Richmond also received an early endorsement in the primary from the Congressional Black Caucus and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

For every human born, ACRES of wildlife forests must be turned into farmland in order to feed that new addition over the course of 60 to 100 YEARS. ...

raise enough money to be competitive. And he’ll apparently have the Democratic Party’s infrastructure behind him.” According to OpenSecrets.org, it takes about $1 million to win a seat in Congress. Richmond is a little more than halfway there in terms of cumulative fundraising. Kevin Franck, spokesperson for the Louisiana Democratic Party, says Richmond has been placed in the party’s “Red to Blue” program, which is run by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Among other things, it promises big bucks to promising candidates. The Louisiana Democratic Party appears ready to kick in some cash as well. “(Cao is) now looking down the barrel of a unified Democratic Party willing to put in as much money, time and effort as it takes to elect Cedric Richmond,” he says. By “unified Democratic party,” Franck no doubt refers to a quick post-primary endorsement from one of Richmond’s Democratic opponents, Eugene Green, who garnered about 10 percent of the vote on Aug. 28. He may also anticipate endorsements from one or both other men who ran against Richmond. More than likely, it’s not the Democrats Richmond needs to worry about. Opposition research against him is bubbling up. Much of it started as rumors, on blogs or as anonymous posts on websites. Some of it recently went mainstream when The Times-Picayune noted Richmond lost his law license for 60 days in 2008 after the Louisiana Supreme Court upheld a Louisiana State Bar Association disciplinary finding that Richmond falsified part of his qualification papers for a 2005 New Orleans City Council race. He was disqualified for not being domiciled in the district for the requisite two years. The T-P also carried coverage of Louisiana Truth PAC, a political action group that tried to make Richmond’s life hell during the primary. The PAC launched a splashy website called “The Real Cedric Richmond” and bankrolled commercials and other efforts. Truth PAC also obtained law enforcement records describing a 2007 fight involving Richmond at Uncle Earl’s bar in Baton Rouge. In response, Richmond approved an ad accusing Truth PAC of attacking President Barack Obama and labeling its allegations against him as “Republican lies.” He claims the bar fight was prompted by racial slurs and contends he was defending himself. The 60-day suspension from practicing law came shortly after his last bid for Congress in 2008, and the then-pending disciplinary action against him was a hot issue in that race. No doubt it will be used against him again this time. Local attorney Stuart H. Smith, a supporter of state Rep. Juan LaFonta (who ran against Richmond in the Democratic primary), says he organized Truth PAC for

the 2nd Congressional District race, and the money behind it came chiefly from Democrats. That’s also the reason why Truth PAC is shutting itself down, at least temporarily. Local blogger Jason Berry, who writes as Dambala on the American Zombie blog (http:theamericanzombie.blogspot.com), has written prolific anti-Richmond story lines involving the lawmaker’s Rolex, alleged improvements to his legislative office at the expense of nonprofits Richmond helped get state funds, and more — but the mainstream media have not picked up his research. Richmond says he’s ignoring the online reports and cautions they are filled with errors. For example, he says, he bought his Rolex watch with a fancy bezel in 2007 and paid for it with a personal check, in contrast to the online assertion that he bought the bezel earlier with a nonprofit’s credit card. Pressed by Gambit to explain expenditures by some of the nonprofits to which he steered state funds, Richmond said, “I haven’t gone back to look at the audits, but … you have to look at the end-ofthe-year audit and see where the money actually went.” He promised to research the nonprofits that received state funds on his recommendation and follow up on any unanswered audit questions. Richmond says he prefers his own website (www.cedricrichmond.com), which includes childhood photos of him — a suggestion from his mother, who taught him to “defend himself,” as he says he did in the 2007 bar fight. As of last week, he was still defending himself against a nasty cold — and Cao’s incumbency-fueled re-election bid. Richmond says he’ll also defend the district against those who want to make drastic changes in its demographic makeup during redistricting in 2011. He’s also going on the attack. He’s not shy about blasting Cao’s votes against Obama. Richmond points out the congressman voted against the final health care overhaul bill, against equal pay for women and against the stimulus package. All three issues should resonate in the district, which is more than 61 percent black and nearly 66 percent Democrat. In fact, the district is only 11 percent Republican. The second-largest pool of voters (23 percent) are “other parties” or independents. “I like where our numbers are right now,” Richmond says, adding he doesn’t need to go on the attack. It’s fair to say the records of both men will provide ample fodder between now and Nov. 2 — and that Richmond will have to defend himself against much more than a head cold.

in citywide and federal elections. When that issue boiled over during a special session in 2006, Richmond orchestrated a walkout from the House floor. Richmond refers to himself as a “fiscal conservative,” even though that term is rarely embraced by African-American Democrats. “I want to spend money where it will have the best impact and not throw good money after bad policies,” he says. “That’s why I haven’t been voting for many fees the last few years. But even as a fiscal conservative, I know we need to raise revenues sometimes for government to serve its purpose.” Not everyone buys Richmond’s selfdescription, however. He has a cumulative voting record of about 37 percent with the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry (LABI) and is consistently in the bottom tier of the group’s annual scorecard. Conversely, Richmond has a great relationship with unions. We start talking about campaign money and he’s coughing again, which isn’t surprising. The amount of money it takes to succeed in politics would gag anyone. Richmond thus far has spent roughly $389,000 on his current campaign. On Aug. 28, some 14,600 people voted for him in the low-turnout Democratic primary. That translates to $26.64 per vote. Two years ago, Cao spent just over $46,800 to get elected — the lowest total expenditure in the national cycle that year and less than $1 per vote over the course of a GOP primary and the general election. Former Congressman Bill Jefferson was facing a federal trial on corruption charges. Those charges and a hurricane-delayed general election on Dec. 6, 2008 (in which black voter turnout was extremely low) combined to put Cao over the top. Barely. He won a plurality with just under 50 percent of the vote. This time around, Cao will be better financed — but black turnout will surely be higher. Based the most recent FEC reports, Cao has collected more than $1.4 million in cumulative donations this cycle, giving him an almost three-to-one edge over Richmond, who has raised slightly more than $500,000. As of last month, Cao had $301,000 in the bank to Richmond’s $166,000 — but Cao had no GOP primary opponent. Richmond had three Democratic rivals and won with 60 percent of the vote. Given Cao’s Beltway connections and national profile, raising money this time around will be easier for him. Getting reelected in a district that is overwhelmingly Democratic will be tough, particularly if turnout is more proportionate among black and white voters. Silas Lee, a Democratic consultant with offices in New Orleans and Washington, D.C., says, “(Richmond) should be able to

Times-Picayune to protest what it calls Sheriff Marlin Gusman’s plan to expand the Orleans Parish jail. The group claims Gusman’s proposed new jail ultimately will house about 5,800 people, up from its existing 3,552 beds. Gusman says those figures are incorrect. The advocates hope to start a citywide conversation about the proposal by soliciting donations of $22.39 to pay for the ad — the daily cost the city pays the sheriff for each inmate. The group also is asking donors to consider what else the city could spend the $22.39 on. “We’re hearing everything from mental health programs, after-school programs, to better street lights and fixing the potholes in the French Quarter,” says Dana Kaplan, executive director of the Juvenile Justice Project of Louisiana, which is leading the effort. The ad will cost $12,000, Kaplan says. “In just a few days we have had about 250 contributions, and we’ve raised over $5,000 in grass-roots donations,” she says. “I think what we’re seeing is definitely a groundswell of support for reform of Orleans Parish Prison. ... We’re seeing contributions from former judges, former City Council members, local musicians, average citizens.” “A jail comfortable for our community needs to be no more than 857 beds,” says Norris Henderson, executive director of Voice of The Ex-Offender (VOTE), which supports the effort. According to the group, Orleans Parish Prison currently houses 3,500 inmates, 2,700 of whom are “city prisoners.” That represents the highest rate of detention of any urban jail in the country and is three times the national average, the group says. Gusman responded in an emailed statement through his public relations firm, the Ehrhardt Group. He questioned the statistics cited by the advocates, saying, “All of the projections from the Juvenile Justice Project and percentages relative to our population are wrong.” The sheriff says he actually wants a smaller, more efficient jail complex of about 4,200 beds, pointing out that the pre-Katrina jail housed more 7,500 inmates. “This special-interest group’s willingness to allow the current inmate housing situation to continue, while pursuing its own agenda, is short-sighted and a threat to public safety,” Gusman said of the Juvenile Justice Project. “Demanding an artificially small facility just to satisfy a quest for national comparisons — in other words to wish New Orleans to be safer — is unrealistic and it puts the public’s safety at risk.” The text of the proposed ad and Gusman’s response is on Gambit’s blog (www. blogofneworleans.com). — Matt Davis

Road Home via City Hall

A special legislative committee on hurricane recovery recently held two lengthy meetings at New Orleans City Hall to hear local residents’ concerns about the state’s Road Home, Hazard Mitigation Grant and Small Rental programs. All three postKatrina recovery programs have been steeped in controversy, and members of the Select Committee on Hurricane Recovery got an earful at the hearings. As a result, the state Office of Community Development (OCD) has opened a hurricane recovery office on the 8th floor of City Hall to assist program applicants. The office is open from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Call 658-8880 or an appointment; walk-ins also are welcome. At the request of the committee, OCD brought staff to the meetings to give individuals an opportunity to meet one-onone about their applications. During the two-day meeting, more than 400 citizens met with staff. The most frequent — and frustrating — complaint from program applicants was the lack of follow-up by OCD and/or outside contractors hired to process applications, says committee chair Rep. Neil Abramson. “It just seemed to be a continuous cycle of red tape and complicated rules,” he said, adding that the committee will prepare a report about attendees who met with staff about their claims. Even former state Rep. Peppi Bruneau, an attorney who served in the House for three decades, could not navigate the Road Home and Hazard Mitigation programs. He says when he tried to get the $9,346 difference between his Road Home grant and the actual cost of elevating the den at his split-level home, he met with frustration at every turn. “I was shunted from one person to another, each with some different, maddening little requirement, and was finally told that the file had been sent to Baton Rouge for payment only to be met with the ‘OC deductions’ reducing me to zero,” Bruneau said. “Every conceivable roadblock known to mankind was placed in front of me because I had the temerity to appeal this matter.” The committee has requested that OCD follow up with everyone who expressed concerns at the meetings and to keep the committee apprised on the status of all claims. — Clancy DuBos

down my street about a year ago, never to be seen again. I have this image of them parked next to the storm drain vacuums in a city lot somewhere, locked behind a chain-link fence because the city laid off the mechanics who kept them running. This is, let me state for the record, sheer speculation. Either that, or the driver of one of them stopped to get a Coke somewhere and the parking enforcement people booted the vehicle. And maybe it was the thought of winter storms — I can’t really say — that made me think of the Zambonis. If I remember correctly, there were two — the magic number! — down at the Municipal Auditorium back in the days when the New Orleans Brass hockey team played there. For all I know, they’re still down in some dark nook or cranny of that building which, as the years pass, begins to resemble more or less the set of The Phantom of the Opera, and God knows who or what lives in that building now.

Getting your storm drains cleaned around here sort of reminds me of the lottery; you hear about it happening, but it never happens to you. I don’t know, maybe I’m the only one who thinks it’s almost funny that New Orleans has as many Zambonis as it does storm drain cleaners and pothole fillers. Almost. I went on the Zamboni website — yes, there is one, all things Zamboni — to see if I could learn anything about retrofitting the vehicles to do things like vacuum storm drains or smooth over potholes, but I had no luck. It all makes me nostalgic, remembering how a bright, young entreprenuer managed to convince the city back in the ’90s that what it needed was a hockey team which, of course, was a ludicrous idea from the start — and that’s how it is that we managed to end up with a pair of idled Zambonis somewhere in this city, to go along with our pair of Pothole Killers and storm drain vacuum cleaners. You could tell this bright, eager young huckster was cut out for big things, a man of inventive wit and ambitious ideas, very few of which — other than a hockey team and two Zambonis — ever materialized. His name was Ray Nagin.

here are our Zambonis? I got to thinking about those big, lumbering ice resurfacing machines when the TV station I work for, WVUE, broke a story last week citing a backlog of 607 complaints filed with the New Orleans Department of Public Works about blocked and clogged storm drains. First of all, I believe the actual number of clogged drains is significantly higher than 607 because I’m sure I’m not the only resident who long ago gave up on trying to get someone from the city to come clean drains where I live. Long ago. Over the years, getting the city to come clean out my storm drains began to seem as likely as getting someone from the sanitation department to come over and sweep the dust bunnies from underneath my bed. Just ain’t gonna happen. Getting your storm drains cleaned around here sort of reminds me of the lottery; you hear about it happening, but it never happens to you. Or anyone you know. You just take it on faith that it’s happening. Somewhere. Anywhere but here. For the past decade, it’s been my habit — when there is news of a storm brewing in the Gulf of Mexico — to grab a shovel and a long wooden pole and try to do the job myself, fruitlessly digging and poking, trying to open up some small passageway where water might escape underneath our streets. It’s messy work, and it’s rarely effective. The mud, branches, go-cups, litter and occasional missing persons that fill our storm drains are generally a solid and impenetrable muck that one man with a shovel is unlikely to defeat. Now, in a city that lies largely below sea level, you might think storm drain maintenance would be a high priority. You might think. Yet, to do this job, the city possesses just two heavy-duty storm drain vacuum cleaners. Two! As I noted last week, New Orleans having just two storm drain cleaners seems akin to North Dakota having just two snow plows to clear its streets in winter. I believe that’s also the number of Pothole Killers the city owns — those alienlooking machines that resemble worker bees from the Mother Ship in War of the Worlds, spitting some strange melange of gravel-glue into our potholes and generally making a mess of the streets and sending tons of little rocks and cement chunks into our storm drains. Clogging them. And this would be funny, were it so decidedly not. I saw one of the Pothole Killers drive

Richmond vs. Cao: Fast and Furious ans of WrestleMania won’t have to buy Pay-Per-View to get their fill of pugilism between now and Nov. 2. They merely have to follow the race in Louisiana’s 2nd Congressional District between Republican incumbent Anh “Joseph” Cao and Democratic state Rep. Cedric Richmond. In a year in which the GOP is expected to fare very well, Cao ranks as the most vulnerable Republican in Congress. Democrats are licking their chops at the thought of taking back Cao’s seat, but local Republicans say privately they like his chances. Each man could raise and spend another half-million dollars between now and Election Day, and various “independent” committees (wink-wink) will add lots more to that total. Mostly the candidates will be savaging each other’s record. Cao supporters will blast Richmond for alleged ethical lapses and for losing his law license for 60 days for lying on election qualifying papers in 2005. Richmond will hit Cao for voting against President Barack Obama’s final health care reform

bill, against equal pay for women and against the Stimulus Plan. At the end of the day, it will come down to the numbers. Looking strictly at the registration figures, Cao has a tough hill to climb. Again. The district is more than 61 percent black and is nearly 66 percent Democrat. In fact, “other party” voters and independents comprise more than 23 percent of the district, while only 11 percent of the district’s voters are Republican. So how can Cao win? He has to do everything right — and catch a bit of luck. Don’t laugh; he did it two years ago. Doing everything right means attacking Richmond and planting seeds of doubt about him among black voters while maximizing turnout among whites. That’s what happened in a hurricane-delayed special election in December 2008, when Cao upset Dollar Bill Jefferson, who later was convicted of 11 felony counts. The hurricane delay was pure luck. This time Cao will have to make his own luck, which is why we can expect the attacks against

Since then, Cao has worked hard to establish his bona fides among black voters, and no doubt he’ll do better in black precincts this year. At the same time,

Richmond to come fast and furious. What does that mean in terms of numbers? Let’s start with what happened in 2008. Cao got only 2 or 3 percent of the black vote in that contest, but he garnered almost all the white vote. In that race, whites cast a slight majority of the ballots despite the

2035 METAIRIE ROAD

www.marktwainspizza.com

Richmond is likely to fare much better among whites than Jefferson did two years ago, which means turnout once again will decide the outcome. If turnout roughly mirrors voter registration, Cao is toast. Fortunately for the incumbent, turnout rarely reflects voter registration. Historically, black turnout is anywhere from 5 to 20 percentage points lower than white turnout, typically around 10 percent lower in major elections such as this one. In contrast to the December 2008 special election, where nothing else was on the ballot, this year’s Nov. 2 ballot will include a U.S. Senate showdown, a runoff for lieutenant governor, a possible state Senate runoff in eastern New Orleans (Richmond’s home base), and other local races. If the “differential” on Nov. 2 is 10 percent or less, Cao will need a miracle to win. If it’s more than 15 percent — and if Cao can garner at least 15 percent of the black vote — he could squeak out another victory. Neither man can take anything for granted.

loha” can be a hello or a goodbye. Tonight, it’s both. Customers are coming and going, saying goodbye to the N.O. Surf Shop — the last surfing store in Louisiana — and wishing owners Rob and Mary Carol Owen well for whatever they do next. The group is also parting with the coast and hoping for its eventual revival. Colorful prayer flags fly overhead next to a sign reading “Mahalo! Aloha!” in the surf shop Uptown on Maple Street. A few surfers huddled close to a wall of flip-flops and Brazilian footwear — all marked 50 percent to 75 percent off — reminisce about trips to Mexico and a Russian who surfed in shark-infested waters. Lauren McCabe, who recently moved back to New Orleans from New York, used to drag her surfboard on the subway to Rockaway Beach. Now she’s waiting for the weather to cool down and make it an ideal time to surf Lake Ponchartrain. Chris Liuzza, wearing a ball cap, glasses and a scruffy dark beard, will be there, too. (“Wait for the north winds, 20 knots,” he says.)

Justin Borden says he has pretty much written off surfing in Louisiana this year, and maybe the next. Grand Isle and Port Fourchon beaches are closed due to the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, as are other surf spots like Holly Beach. Outside the shop, a drawing posted on the window shows a downtrodden, bearded surfer holding a sign reading “The End is Near! Aug. 31st,” with the date scratched out to read Aug. 28 — N.O. Surf Shop’s last day in business. Inside, the mother of a college freshman asks if a few irreplaceable items are for sale — a small longboard skateboard and a wooden sign, both bearing the N.O. Surf Shop name. SURFING IN LOUISIANA TOOk OFF IN THE 1970S, when surfers from Houma and surrounding parishes hit beaches along the coast as far west as Holly Beach in Cameron Parish, to Grand Isle, which Dirty Coast honored with a T-shirt lovingly poking fun at the peculiarity of Louisiana surfing: “Surf Grand Isle / Silt is better than sand,”

it reads. Surfers also could hit the Chandeleur Islands, accessible only by boat or plane, and catch breaks along sand bars stretching the 50-mile chain, which is now off-limits. Unlike the Golden Coast and stock images of exotic locales in Hawaii and Fiji, with a surfer carving through the glassy tube of a crashing wave, Louisiana has its muggy beaches sitting just yards from wetlands and swamps. Gulf surfers belong to a small but dedicated group that’s used to being the laughingstock of a surfing community blessed with glamorous, impressive surf and picturesque beaches. In Louisiana, there’s no consistent surf, so surfers check weather, tide and wave reports frequently, and when conditions suggest anything resembling surf activity, the lineup forms along the beach and they ride the surf until it dies. When the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet was open, surfers could trail barges and catch waves left in the vessels’ wakes. Wakesurfing is practiced throughout the state’s waterways and in

Mississippi. When Louisiana’s coast isn’t producing waves, surfers head to Pensacola, Fla., or St. Augustine, Fla., where the sport thrives and the surf is good. Then there’s Port Fourchon, Louisiana’s southernmost port, which specializes in petroleum traffic and oil rigs and is an ideal surf spot for locals. Kent Hornbacker of Fourchon, who has surfed its waters for 22 years, told SURFER magazine’s blog, “It’s all gone.” Another Fourchon resident, Randy Coffman, a surfer for 27 years, told The Huffington Post, “I really don’t know if in my lifetime I’ll ever be able to surf a Gulf Coast beach again.” Waves along Fourchon crash a few miles from offshore oil rigs looming over the horizon. The BP oil disaster has closed beaches there. There is no surf. Tell that to Rob Owen. “You’re not going to keep people who want to surf out of the water,” he says. “The water has always been pretty funky. That’s never stopped me. Just bring some gallons of water and rinse off.” Bring a wetsuit? “I don’t think that’ll help. That would probably

mess up your wetsuit,” he says, laughing. Most beaches in Louisiana are under an advisory from the state’s Department of Health and Hospitals’ (DHH) Beach Monitoring Program, but “Louisiana has always had a standing ‘swim at your own risk’ advisory,” says Ken Pastorick, DHH oil spill resources public information officer. “(That) means the water may be safe to swim in and may not be safe to swim in.” Pastorick says he was unaware of a surfing community in Louisiana (“I’d love to see that,” he says). DHH routinely tests for bacterial contamination in the water. If a site tests positive, DHH posts an advisory — not a closure. Local governments and the Louisiana Office of State Parks handle the beach openings and closings, and beaches are closed as oil cleanup continues. Surfers in Louisiana are accustomed to these conditions. “If you’ve lived in Louisiana all your life, when you swam in Pontchartrain or Grand Isle, chances are you swam in those waters (when) they were under an advisory,” Pastorick says. Lake Pontchartrain, however, is

open — but not the area known as Pontchartrain Beach, a strip policed by the New Orleans Levee Board and NOPD. That won’t stop McCabe, who plans to surf the lake once cooler weather and northern winds provide a decent surf. (“I don’t think it’s going to be so bad. It had a few tar balls wash up, but it’s still surfable,” she says.) “Surfers are resilient. They’ll surf in shallow reef breaks where if they fall they’ll be skinned alive,” she says. “Surfers who are passionate are going to be out there if the water is even remotely clean.” THE OWENS FIRST OPENED N.O. Surf Shop in 2004 on Magazine Street close to Audubon Park. Following Hurricane Katrina and the levee failures in 2005, the couple moved the shop to 7722 Maple St., tucked next door to a laundromat and a Middle Eastern restaurant. The store was frequented by curious college kids and served as the default hub for bayou surfers. “I had a guy tell me, ‘Man, don’t open your surf shop. Don’t do it. You’ll never get to surf,’” Rob says.

“That’s one of the ironies of having a shop. You have a tendency to surf less.” Now, he says, he’ll have more time for his passion. The shop will remain online, where Rob will sell art, like his signature “Spy Boy” line of skateboard designs and T-shirts, as well as other surfing artworks. He plans to keep Louisiana surfing alive through social networking and to build and connect the state’s scattered community, but he says closing the store is bittersweet. You can’t tell, though, as he punctuates his hellos, goodbyes and well wishes with a smile and the “shaka” sign: a fist with thumb and pinky extended. He planned a couple of shop parties — what used to be regular after-hours Tiki shindigs — to sell what’s left in the store and say goodbye. “My wife and I created this place,” he says. “We put a lot of energy into it. We’re proud of it. We’ve been doing it for a while, so we’re kind of excited about a new chapter.” With tourism suffering across the coast, surf shops are taking two hits — from fewer tourists looking for something quirky, and from fewer surfers, who can’t hit their homebreak. “People stayed away from coming down to vacation in the gulf, on top of an already hard year last year,” says the Surfrider Foundation marketing director Matt McClain, who visited the Gulf Coast for the foundation to assess economic and environmental damages in the wake of the oil disaster. “It’s sad to see a lot of businesses that were down, or kind of down — if they don’t get some kind of assistance from BP, some might not make it through winter.” McClain says Louisiana’s surfers have a rougher scenario. “It’s a smaller community to start with. … And trying to recover from Katrina, then this (the oil disaster) on top of it. That’s super heartbreaking,” he says. “The Gulf is renowned for its water. Everybody loves to go down there. Warm, clear water — that’s your cornerstone. That’s the expectations. White beaches and warm, clear water.” Business is down across the Gulf. Aqua Surf Shop in Miramar Beach, Fla., saw an 80 percent drop in sales from 2009, and Fluid Surf Shop in Fort Walton Beach, Fla., saw a 36 percent drop. “You have to take into consideration the economy of coastal communities — that’s what keeps that community healthy,” McClain says. “When you have fishermen whose

COVER STORY livelihoods are being taken away and retailers like these small surf shop owners — these are seasonal businesses that run on really small margins, and if they don’t get their money from Memorial Day to Labor Day, they’re screwed. That’s killed them this year.” What separates Louisiana from the rest of the surfing pack is much like the seafood industry’s — and the state’s — relationship to Big Oil. Oil rigs sit on the Port Fourchon horizon, and surfers along the coast are employees of or neighbors to oil and gas. So surfers calling to continue a deepwater drilling moratorium and halt offshore drilling don’t echo their Louisiana neighbors. Owen says Louisiana and its surfers need the oil industry, at least for now. The surfer-conservationists at the Surfrider Foundation campaign to protect coastal environments, beaches and wildlife — which means a call to end offshore drilling. McClain says the organization was going to implement its call on a state-bystate basis in late April, but then the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded, causing the deaths of 11 rig workers and an oil gusher that spewed millions of gallons of crude into the Gulf of Mexico before it was capped July 15. “We understand there is a real need for oil and we have existing offshore activity that is going to continue,” McClain says. “What we’d like to see

is pieces of law put back in place to prohibit new offshore drilling and to take efforts that would go into new offshore drilling and put that into alternative energies. There’s going to be some growing pains, but if we start scaling back — we’re not looking to close down wells open today — longterm would we like to see those wells out of the water? Absolutely. But that’s not going to happen overnight. For those worried about losing their jobs, I’d say, ‘Well, were you worried about it three years ago?’ “Those growing pains are going to be less expensive and less impactful than continuing our course now. What we’re seeing are offshore oil spills that affect fisheries, tourism — oil’s a big economic contributor to the Gulf, but it can’t hold a candle to fisheries and tourism. You can’t have it all. Eventually stuff is going to happen. It’s not worth that tradeoff.” The surfer McCabe says she hopes the oil disaster will at least rally surfers around their environment as a call to action. She also realizes another contradiction unique to Louisiana and the Gulf Coast — the threat of a hurricane in the Gulf is sometimes more an opportunity for surfer than a threat. It means bigger waves. “I don’t want a hurricane to come into the Gulf and hit anyone,” McCabe says. “But when they

do come into the Gulf, it’s kind of a catch 22. It’s really interesting as a surfer in the Gulf — there’s a paradox in wanting these storms and not. In some ways we like having these storms around.” DAYS BEFORE THE SHOP’S FINAL FAREWELL PARTY, Rob closes at 5:30 p.m. and flips through the register’s cash. Kill Bill Vol. 1 plays on a small TV above a rack of flip-flops and Panama hats. The end credits roll, Rob hits stop, and plays it again. (“It’s movie day,” he says.) In these last few days, sales have been good. “It’s been cool. I’ve met some great people,” he says of operating the last surf shop in the state. Rob’s stencil designs — a pelican grabbing a banner with the words “Union, Justice, Confidence,” a Mardi Gras Indian Spy Boy, an “endless parking lot” — are pinned to a wall above a few remaining skimboards, a more popular approach to surfing for coastal beach goers. “It’s going to grow,” he says of surfing. “We’ve got some good spots, and as word gets out, people are going to want to be a part of it. “One of the best things you can do about the nature of Louisiana is to get out in it. Be a part of it. We can get a little urban in New Orleans, but it’s all right outside. I’m jonesing to go to (Lake) Pontchartrain and just jump in.”

A Room of One's Moan he cast of In the Next Room (or The Vibrator Play) is rehearsing for the first time with their improvised antique vibrator. Designed to look like a new invention of the Victorian era, it features a heavy apparatus sitting on the floor rattling and whirring. A separate box with a large control knob is mounted next to a physician’s table. Wires and tubes connect the two components, and there’s a long extension with an elaborate nozzle-like fixture. Dr. Givings is applying a new “electro therapy” treatment to Sabrina Daldry for a form of hysteria, an actual bit of medical quackery practiced in the late 1800s. The rest of the cast and crew grin as Givings concentrates intently, and eventually, just over the rattling, Daldry manages a breathy “Ohhh.” “Your first ‘Ohhh’ should be louder,” says director Aimée Hayes. “And it should have a little bit of a question mark at the end.” The humor is farcical, but the play probes the timeless struggles of men and women to find real intimacy in spite of the latest gadgets and modern attitudes. The piece debuted at Berkeley Repertory Theater in 2009 before going to New York City, and it opens Southern Rep’s season. Ruhl’s work is not new to Southern Rep. It staged her offbeat, Pulitzer-nominated The Clean House in 2008. A MacArthur Fellowship winner, Ruhl has a gift for language that is both immediate and whimsically grand.

inadvertently suggesting he has sex with prostitutes, “Without love … the act is just meat and bones. Meat and bones and levers and technicalities.” Setting the play in the Victorian era, complete with bustles and top hats, invokes that period’s sexual ambivalence, but it was also a time of social and technological progress. Dr. Givings is skilled with his gadget and new form of therapy, but his marriage is cold and clinical, partly because he reduces his wife’s emotional needs to physical symptoms. She wants him to care in a more personal way. “It’s love and grief,” Hayes says about the play and the new season. “I like romantic stories that engage our hearts and minds.” The 2010-11 season is full of engaging material about all sorts of subjects. Since June, Southern Rep has handled scheduling at Le Chat Noir and hosts a Wednesday series there with alternating programs of new, short plays, slams and the serialized show Debauchery. The theater also is working with the National New Play Network, a development collaborative involving 26 theaters. In October, Southern Rep will stage the world premiere of Steve Yockey’s Afterlife: A Ghost Story as part of the network’s support of new writers. “We are having both a local and a national conversation,” Hayes says. “It’s getting to the point the national theater community knows us better than New Orleans.”

Marking the ﬁfth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Tony Award-winning actress LaChanze (The Color Purple) stars in a reprise of Swimming Upstream, the stories of 16 women who survived the storm and ﬂooding. Eve Ensler (The Vagina Monologues) and Ashe Cultural Arts Center director Carol Bebelle collaborated with the survivors to create the piece. Tickets $36.35-$63.10 (including fees).

or a city with barely 50,000 residents, New Brunswick, N.J., has strange pop-culture clout. MTVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Matt Pinfield is from there, and both the TV series Charles in Charge and the film Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle took place there. Not to mention Bon Jovi â&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re naming some of the worst things in the world!â&#x20AC;? interrupts Marissa Paternoster, singer/guitarist for the New Brunswick trio Screaming Females. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bon Jovi?â&#x20AC;? Point taken. Many New Orleanians would similarly object to being tossed into an aesthetic gumbo with The Real World, The Big Easy, Better Than Ezra and Zebra. Despite describing her hometown as â&#x20AC;&#x153;pretty much just bars and places to get fat sandwiches,â&#x20AC;? Paternoster knows better. Her Females (of which sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only one â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both bandmates are male) belong to New Brunswickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best-kept musical secret: a circuit of underground rock shows, hosted by a circle of friends in each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jarrett (Dougherty) used to book tons and tons of shows,â&#x20AC;? Paternoster says of the Femalesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; drummer, a recent immigrant to Philadelphia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Bassist) Mike (Rickenbacker) books a lot of shows. He just moved into a show house. â&#x20AC;Ś Most of the shows I go to are at this house called Meat Town, USA. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure what Mikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house is called nowadays. A lot of the houses donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have names â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so the cops donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show up.â&#x20AC;? Out of this insular scene, Screaming Females is something of a flag waver. The band has booked its own shows and produced and issued its own records (with an assist from area imprint Don Giovanni) since its 2006 debut Baby Teeth. Next week marks the release of Castle Talk, the Femalesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fourth LP. Advance single â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Mind Itâ&#x20AC;? hit websites in July, followed by a visually striking, stop-motion animation video by New Brunswick artist Mr. Pillis in August. The latter features swirling, naked paper puppets drawn by Paternoster dancing in what looks like a sex-ed notebook imbued with Magic Eye life. The song is an electric guitar pop anthem, with Paternosterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tremolo vocals leading a strong six-string throng. But the album isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a departure from

Special Effects

A rundown of the sonic weapons in Holy F—k’s war chest includes the usual utensils: keyboards, bass guitars and drums. Mentioned almost as an afterthought are the band’s sundry “effects,” a more nebulous grouping that deserves top billing. Wielding Star Trek phasers and toy pianos, live percussion in place of laptop programs and a 35mm film synchronizer as a phantasmagoric turntable, the instrumental Toronto quartet does for electronic dance music what molecular gastronomy chefs do for tired, staid cuisine. May LP Latin (Young Turks), Holy F—k’s third overall, is a study in transformation. Where previous albums seem almost obsessed with ferreting out and hammering home a form of alien heavy metal, this new release is more focused on the process. Atmospheric opener “1MD” is four graduating minutes of ominous, momentum-gathering crescendo; “Red Lights” brings a ground-shifting landslide of ostinato bass melody and lockstep motorik rhythm, sounding like a doubled-up Ratatat covering Can; and “Stay Lit” takes a sticky four-note synth figure and repeatedly turns it inside out, almost resolving from minor to major key and back again, boldly going where no Holy F—ker has gone before. Kindred spirit Quintron and Empress Hotel open. Tickets $15. — Noah Bonaparte Pais

INCEPTION (PG-13) — A thief (Leonardo DiCaprio) skilled at extracting secrets from the subconscious gets a chance

Martin Scorsese presented Elia Kazan with a Lifetime Achievement Oscar in 1999 amid controversy over whether Kazan should be honored after he “named names” for the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1952. No one disputes his legendary body of work, including the films On the Waterfront (1954), East of Eden (1955) and A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), among others. And since Kazan’s death in 2003, the debate has been moot. But in Scorsese’s new film, Letter to Elia, he sheds light on why he thinks Kazan named names, and offers a personal insight about what Kazan revealed about himself in his films. The Prytania Theatre’s Classic Movie Series presents Kazan’s Panic in the Streets (1950) and Scorsese’s film as a double feature. Panic (pictured) was filmed in New Orleans and was one of the early major Hollywood movies shot outdoors. Kazan chose a noir style and used non-actor New Orleanians in many speaking parts. It follows a policeman and U.S. Public Health Service agent as they try to thwart an outbreak of a deadly plague after a dead body turns up and is infected with a mysterious bacteria. City officials aren’t concerned with the death of an unidentified laborer, and dock workers don’t talk with outsiders, especially when it might concern smuggling, but the two believe they have less than 48 hours to find the source and prevent an epidemic. The issue of breaking trust is a prominent theme in many of Kazan’s major works, especially On the Waterfront. Scorsese’s hourlong Letter is a self-indulgent personal narrative, at times more about himself, but it offers an interesting psycho-history detailing Kazan’s emigration from Turkey to the United States and his career path from actor to director. Scorsese sees elements of self-portrait in East of Eden, On the Waterfront and other works. The film contains great excerpts from Kazan’s best works, and it illuminates choices Kazan made both on the set and on the record. Tickets $5.50. — Will Coviello

After a busy schedule of filming, Patricia Clarkson has three movies recently or about to open in theaters, and she is in New Orleans for a slate of events. “I am taking a break in the fall,” she says. “It’s been exhausting.” Clarkson will attend a red carpet fundraising preview of Legendary at the Prytania Theatre Wednesday. Two days later, Cairo Time opens at the same venue. She’ll headline a gala fundraiser for Le Petit Theater du Vieux Carre on Saturday with Bryan Batt. And she plays Olive’s (Emma Stone) goofy mom in the comedy Easy A, which opens nationally next week. Two other films, Friends With Benefits and One Day, recently finished shooting and will open next year. But what’s had Clarkson busy is promoting Cairo Time. “I am doing a lot with this film,” she says. “I need to keep abreast of all the press and openings because this film rests on my shoulders: I am the lead. The writer/director sends me everything.” Cairo Time screened at the Toronto Film Festival in 2009 and began a

slow roll-out in U.S. cinemas in early August. Shot in Cairo in just seven weeks in 2008, the intimate film focuses almost exclusively on Clarkson and Alexander Siddiq. She plays Juliette, a fashion magazine writer visiting Cairo to rendezvous with her husband Mark, who oversees a refugee camp in Gaza for the U.N. When Mark is delayed, he sends a former co-worker, Tareq, to pick her up at the airport and help her acclimate to the city. As Mark’s delay is extended by difficulties in Gaza, Tareq shows Juliette around Cairo, exploring its unique desert beauty, bustling bazaars, the Nile and the customs of Islamic and Egyptian culture. Ensconced in the exotic surroundings and enticed by some of the similarities bridging their cultural divide, their friendship seems like it will blossom into something more. “It’s an affair of the heart,” Clarkson says. “It’s about a woman in love with two men. It’s an intoxicating adult film about love.” Clarkson and Siddiq turn in fine, nuanced performances as they slowly discover an oasis of calm amid the hectic streets of the metropolis, the tensions of the Middle East and the sweltering heat. Shot in the unforgiving temperatures of a different latitude is Legendary. One of a suite of wrestling-focused projects being filmed in New Orleans by WWE Studios, it tells the story of a young man trying to reunite his family through ties to an older brother and deceased father’s collegiate wrestling glory. The screening is a fundraiser benefiting both the Friends of the Fishermen and the Louisiana SPCA as they assist people affected by the BP oil disaster. A reception at the Elms Mansion follows the movie. — Will Coviello

review saving Face

When photography first became popular more than a century and a half ago, its widespread appeal was based on its ability to render a likeness quickly and accurately. But soon all sorts of painted backdrops and optical tricks were used to embellish some things and conceal others, so portrait photography has been both a mirror and a masquerade. Interplay, a portrait show at the Contemporary Arts Center, leans toward the latter. For instance, Phyllis Galembo’s images of costumed black folk in Haiti and Africa focus on traditional masking rituals. In Les Indians, Haitian boys appear in Carnival-like Indian costumes, but their approach to body painting harks, perhaps unconsciously, to Africa. In Baby Dance Of Etikpe, we see an adult couple peering through eye slits in vivid African fabrics covering them from head to toe, a totally surreal scene that is actually a traditional ritual from the Cross River region of Nigeria. Like Irving Penn before her, Galembo fuses anthropology with a high-fashion aesthetic. A different kind of ritual appears in Sonja Rieger’s backstage photos of transsexual beauty pageant contestants. Situated somewhere between portrait and documentary photography, her large and vividly detailed images crackle with a crisp, if campy, Dionysian electricity. If the claim that “photographs don’t lie” was always a stretch, the advent of Photoshop was its coup de grace. What Herman Mhire of Lafayette does with it is radical by any standard, turning portraits of friends into fright masks and transmogrifications like Bob 2 (pictured), a visage demonic enough to give the Notre Dame cathedral gargoyles a run for their money. But reality has many shades of meaning, as we see in Kevin Kline’s classic street photos of Bywater folks including men sharing a smoke and couples posing with power tools. Then there’s the bedraggled elderly man in a dress and sunbonnet posed in front of Frady’s corner store on Piety Street, and what can you say? Sometimes truth is stranger than Photoshop. — D. Eric Bookhardt

review old Friends Donald Margulies’ Dinner With Friends won the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for drama as well as other honors. It was chosen by Actor’s Theatre of New Orleans for its opening production five years ago, just before Hurricane Katrina. Artistic director René J.F. Piazza and managing director Chelle Ambrose celebrated the anniversary of their Metairie playhouse with a reprise of the play. Actor’s Theatre is known for knockabout comedies like A Christmas Carol — The Whole Story and Dracula — The Whole Story, both written by and sometimes starring Piazza. Occasionally, the talented troupers catch you offguard with something that cuts closer to the heart. Actor’s Theatre handled the straight, modern drama of Dinner impressively. Gabe (Leon Contavesprie) and wife Karen (Chelle Abrose) are entertaining longtime friend Beth (Vanessa Cloke) at a dinner. Beth’s husband Tom should be there, but he’s “out of town on business.” Gabe and Karen talk about their happy jaunt through Italy while their kids, offstage, quibble about watching a DVD. In short, we see a tranquil scene of middle-class home life. Beth is upset and finally confesses that Tom has fallen in love with another woman and has left. “He says I gave him 75 percent and she gives him 120 percent,” Beth says. Later, Beth is reading in bed when Tom (Benjamin Clement) bursts in unexpectedly. He says he couldn’t fly because of a snowstorm and no hotel rooms are available. He becomes furious when he finds out Beth told their friends about his affair, and he doesn’t believe he deserves all the blame for their failed relationship. An angry tussle turns into sex, and Tom later says to Gabe: “Rage is the best aphrodisiac there is.” The scene shifts to Martha’s Vineyard 12 years earlier. Gabe and Karen have separately invited Tom and Beth in the hope of bringing them together romantically. The scheme works and we see high hopes and happiness flare up, already aware it will lead to a broken marriage. Many of the remaining scenes involve the two women or the two men trying to piece things back together and preserve old friendships. Dinner With Friends is a delicate study of feelings, and Piazza elicited honest, nuanced performances from the able cast. — Dalt Wonk

New Orleanians would likely find a connection between food and dance, as the two often happen in concurrence in local culture. Goat in the Road Productions found another link between the two in its interactive dance-theater piece The Don Effect (pictured), which they performed at the Candle Factory in June. The show’s characters struggle to recreate things — for some, it’s the choreography of a dance; for the others it’s recipes that have sentimental value. The characters discover the elusive, emotion-based variables that make the replication of those things difficult — if not impossible. Goat in the Road collaborated with the Southern Food & Beverage Museum to create a museum exhibit exploring similar themes. The exhibit consists of recipes submitted by show audiences, as well as video footage and set pieces from the show. The opening reception features food, a bar and excerpts from the production. Admission $10, includes museum entrance. — Lauren LaBorde

lightly charred shrimp and chunky tomato sauce over dense grits. Across the square, Dickie Brennan’s restaurants bring two standout sandwiches to the game — a cheese steak from his steakhouse and a barbecue shrimp po-boy from Bourbon House, each served on crisp pistolettes. Drago’s Seafood Restaurant serves decent seafood pasta and a much more exciting spinach risotto with chopped shrimp and an essential blitz of spicy tasso. Owner Tommy Cvitanovich says he hopes to bring his restaurant’s famous charbroiled oysters to the square later this season, pending progress with local oyster supplies. The Praline Connection serves large fillets of fried catfish beside either creamy red beans or a heap of jambalaya. But there’s a better jambalaya around the corner, the brown, smoky, Cajun-style rendition from Triple B’s Kajun Korner, a vendor that also has stands inside the Dome. The wings and chicken strips from the local WOW Wingery & Cafe chain are typical bar food, while the plain burgers from the Outback Steakhouse chain will probably delight some Vikings fans visiting for Thursday night’s game. For the season-opener, Champions Square opens at 4 p.m. and closes at kickoff (7:30 p.m.). The schedule for future game days remains a work in progress, and a spokesman for the Superdome says the square will likely reopen after games sometime this season as ongoing renovation work around the facility progresses. Still, the season’s four home games with noon kickoff times inevitably mean some Who Dats will be eating hearty Creole fare pretty early in the day around Champions Square. But that’s fine with me. I love the taste of roux in the morning. It tastes like victory. For details, vendor menus and schedule updates, visit www.superdome.com.

he New Orleans Saints proved our city had the NFL’s best team last year. This season, another team of New Orleanians is proving we have the league’s best food as well. This team is a collection of local restaurant industry heavies who have turned the new Champions Square festival grounds just outside the Louisiana Superdome into a showcase of distinctive New Orleans flavors. From a ring of tented vending booths, they greet the Who Dat nation before each home game with handheld feasts that put the food available inside most stadiums, including the Superdome, to shame. Superdome officials run the show at Champions Square, which does not require a game ticket. To ensure the eats would really shine, the Dome’s overall food service provider, Centerplate Catering, subcontracted with local restaurateurs. Champions Square made its debut in August during the Saints’ two exhibition home games, and I used these preseason events to test the field. People who have eaten their way through a day at Jazz Fest will recognize the format, as well as the related skill of juggling foam plates and cans of beer. At $8 or $9 each, the dishes can seem pricey. But compare the quality and even the portions you get in Champions Square with typical stadium fare and they look like better deals. Some of the dishes come straight from restaurant menus, including Galatoire’s iconic shrimp remoulade and its thick, dark, country-style duck gumbo, which chef Brian Landry says is a new menu addition. At the adjacent booth, Acme Oyster House serves a good shrimp po-boy, though its chicken and andouille gumbo can’t compare to Galatoire’s version. Choosing between shrimp beignets or shrimp and grits at the Red Fish Grill booth, I’d pick the latter every time. It’s a masterpiece in a plastic bowl, with large,
