Sean Patterson stars as Max Bialystock, and Rivertown co-director Gary Rucker plays the musical’s more earnest version of accountant Leo Bloom. Rucker notes that it’s the second Wilder character from a Mel Brooks movie/musical that he’s played. Last season, Graham directed Young Frankenstein at Rivertown, and Rucker played young Dr. Frankenstein. Rivertown has stretched the Catskills Borscht Belt to Kenner, and it fits into an approach Rucker and Kelly Fouchi have taken By Will Coviello in attracting audiences with musicals based on popular culture, including Monty Python’s Spamalot, Shrek: The Musical and Legally reating a flop of a musical should be easy.

Provocative street art has led some to wonder if the British artist Banksy was back in New Orleans. Nope — this stencil artist is much more local. By Robert Morris | Uptown Messenger

round Thanksgiving 2014, police made the gruesome discovery of a woman’s body stuffed into a Central City trash can. While the neighborhood mourned the woman’s death, observers also noted the presence of a cryptic image on a wall near the Danneel Street alley where Mona Fedison’s body was stashed, a Cupid-like angel watching a figure walk away from arrows that missed their target. Not long afterward, more than three miles away, officials at the Lycee Francais de la Nouvelle Orleans charter school were in the process of completing their purchase of the former Priestley campus in Carrollton when they noticed a politically charged mural on the old gym. “May the Police Force Be With You,” the stencil read, with an image of a man being restrained by police while Darth Vader choked him. Like those who saw the angel image at the murder scene, the Lycee Francais officials wondered among themselves: Was it a “Banksy,” a painting created by the famous British street artist? No — the creator was much more local.

Az — you like it?

The artist often mistaken for This stencil painting on Tchoupitoulas Banksy is not and Fourth streets led some to speculate the British artist Banksy trying to pass was back in New Orleans, but it’s the off his work as work of a local man known as Az. Banksy’s — he P H O TO BY C HERY L G ERBER signs each piece with his adopted name “Az” and has a website, Azwashere.com. Az is 32, has lived in seven or eight cities and moved to New Orleans about two years ago. He started tagging about two years before that. “I was living up in Fargo [North Dakota],” Az says, “and I was so bored that I wanted to make the place look not so much like a stereotypical suburban city.” One night, when he was spray-painting the word ‘freedom’ on the back of an apartment building, someone took note of his license plate and Az experienced his first attention from the police. He left Fargo soon afterward. New Orleans, he says, has become a place of “refuge” for him, and he no longer wants to move around. Instead, he and artist Rex Dingler are collaborating on a project called “Not Jericho,” an online resource for connecting artists with property owners who have walls they want painted. “New Orleans has been so against murals and graffiti in general, now that they are starting to want more public art, they’re having a hard time finding the artists,” Az says. That tide may have turned earlier this year with the #ExhibitBe public art project started by artist Brandan “BMike” Odums. Not only was the transformation of a former West Bank apartment building into a three-story canvas hailed as one of the most successful public art projects in recent memory, but Odums was invited to share the stage with Mayor

Mitch Landrieu during this year’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebrations. Since then, Odums’ murals have shown up at major city events with increasing frequency. Az says he has met Odums a few times and discussed a collaboration, though nothing has happened. He applauded the citywide attention keeping Odums so busy. “Every ounce of it is deserved,” Az says. “The man is doing amazing things.” Several of Az’s pieces, including a humorous depiction of Bigfoot making fake human footprints, are on the walls at Gasa Gasa on Freret Street. Az also was one of five street artists showcased in a recent exhibit at Treo, a bar and gallery space on Tulane Avenue in Mid-City. “I think he’s brilliant,” Pauline Patterson, owner of Treo and Finn McCool’s Irish Pub, says of Az. “I think he’s very talented. It’s very methodical, very professional — so many layers. I really do like his style of work.” So far, much of the public discussion of Az’s work has revolved around whether it was created by Banksy, who worked in New Orleans in 2008. “Obviously, there’s always going to be the comparison to Banksy,” Patterson says. “[Az is] just using a similar sort of outlet to express his political beliefs.” To people unfamiliar with street art, Az’s use of stencils likely is enough to draw comparisons to Banksy, Patterson says, adding that many art forms come about in broad movements and doesn’t mean Az’s work is a derivative of Banksy’s even if the two styles are similar. Az says his own work has stylistic differences from Banksy’s: His stencils often have more layers and depict human faces differently, especially in the amount of detail around the eyes. The artist says he doesn’t view the public’s confusion as a negative; the fame around Banksy’s work has made people more likely to consider

street art and its message on its merits instead of simply dismissing it as vandalism. “I don’t mind it because first and foremost, I do like Banksy,” Az says. “I love his work, I really do. But I do put my signature on [my work], so if you look closer, there’s no way you can mistake it for a Banksy.” Az’s themes range from visual puns, like Bigfoot at Gasa Gasa, to political topics, such as using Darth Vader to comment on police violence on the Priestley building. “The one on the school, I wanted to hurt somebody emotionally, but not in a way that they would react angrily, more that they would react with reflection,” Az says. Keith Bartlett, CEO of Lycee Francais, says school leaders noticed Az’s painting almost immediately after the closing of the Prospect.3 international art exhibitions in New Orleans, and they thought Banksy might have been in New Orleans for the event. Bartlett says officials were discussing how to preserve the art if it was painted by Banksy. Even though they know it is not, Bartlett says, the school has no immediate wish to see it removed. “It certainly speaks to what’s in the mindset of our society today,” Bartlett says. “I also don’t want to disturb it because it probably speaks to the neighborhood. To just cover it up would almost be disrespectful to their voices or their minds.” Az says most of his work has been Uptown, though he has done some pieces in the Faubourg Marigny and Bywater. He scouts potential locations on Google Maps and Google Street View, then goes in person to observe for 20 minutes or so to determine whether he’s likely to be disturbed while working. On Danneel Street, that preparation had eerily unexpected consequences. Az had finished painting the angel with the ignored arrows only a week or so before

the discovery of the woman’s body. First, he feared that someone might try to connect him to the crime, then he wondered whether his image may have been meaningful to the killer — especially because investigators say the suspect, Evangelisto Ramos, was in an occasional relationship with Fedison. Nor could he ignore the reason both he and the killer chose the spot: It was secluded and what a person was doing was unlikely to attract immediate attention. “It freaked me out a bit,” Az says. “My head was — it was a bit weird after that.” With the growing interest in street art, Az says he hopes to continue taking his work on a path that is less likely to lead to runins with police and will allow him to raise his 1-year-old son in New Orleans. “I’d like to bring him up around here ...,” Az says. “I’d love to have the culture of this town instilled in him from birth.” Az’s says his new work may be mistaken for Banksy less often because he is experimenting with a new technique using paint balloons instead of spray paint. It creates a dramatically different effect. In the meantime, property owners may wonder what they should do if an “Az” shows up on one of their walls. Patterson says she wouldn’t like a randomly scrawled name on her building, but she would prize a work of genuine street art. “It would depend on what it was,” Patterson says. “If it was Az, I’d probably want to put a frame around it and capture it forever.” — This story originally was reported by our partners at Uptown Messenger.

NEWS VIEWS SCUTTLEBUTT Quote of the week

“I show up. I go to forums even when I don’t know what the questions are going to be. Oh, I have not frequented prostitution — and certainly have not done that sitting on the floor of the United States Congress.” — Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne, asked how he differs from U.S. Sen. David Vitter. Dardenne was the only one of four major candidates for governor who showed up at a forum sponsored by Baton Rouge NPR affiliate WRKF-FM. The Dardenne campaign was pleased enough with the answer to immediately post it on the lieutenant governor’s Twitter account. It was the race’s first major jab at Vitter’s prostitute scandal, but it’s unlikely to be the last. Early voting in the gubernatorial primary is Oct. 10-17. The primary election is Oct. 24.

Jindal v. Planned Parenthood, continued DOJ says state is wrong

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is standing behind Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast’s lawsuit against the state of Louisiana, which is attempting to cut the organization’s contracts and Medicaid reimbursements. The DOJ filed a brief saying, “Louisiana has not proffered sufficient reasons to terminate” the contract and likely would be violating federal law if it canceled those contracts. Gov. Bobby Jindal has argued that he has authority to cancel the contracts at will, but federal authorities say his authority does not override the federal government’s. In August, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services also told states attempting to block Medicaid payments to Planned Parenthood that they would likely violate federal law. Jindal announced in July that he planned to halt all Medicaid contracts with Planned Parenthood in Louisiana following allegations that the organization sells tissue from aborted fetuses. Other states have made similar threats after a heavily edited video from the anti-abortion organization PAGE 10

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:

U.S. Sen. David Vitter is the frontrunner in the Louisiana governor’s race. Regardless of whether you intend to vote for him, do you think he’s likely to win?

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > SEPTEMBER 8 > 2015

State Sen. David Heitmeier’s sudden decision not to seek re-election is expected to trigger a big field of candidates to succeed him, although only two had announced by late last week. The early favorite is state Rep. Jeff Arnold, D-Algiers, who was expecting to sit out the statewide elections because he is term-limited in the House of Representatives, where he served for 14 years. Arnold announced he will run several hours after Heitmeier issued a statement saying he had decided not to seek a third term because of the toll that political office has taken on his optometry practice and his health. Heitmeier was considered a strong favorite to win re-election. Heitmeier, an Algiers Democrat, and other prominent West Bank officials are quickly lining up behind Arnold. Others said to be in his camp already are Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand, state Senate President John Alario and Gretna Police Chief Arthur Lawson. Senate District 7 includes Algiers, part of the West Bank of Jefferson and part of Plaquemines Parish. As of press time, the only other announced candidate was Orleans Parish School Board member Leslie Ellison, another Democrat from Algiers. Ellison announced her candidacy against Heitmeier before he decided not to seek re-election. Several other names have been discussed as potential candidates. They include former New Orleans City Council members Kristin Gisleson Palmer and Troy Carter, both

Democrats. Qualifying opens Tuesday morning and continues through Thursday afternoon. — CLANCY DUBOS

Center for Medical Progress alleged that Planned Parenthood officials openly discussed the practice. Planned Parenthood does not perform abortions in Louisiana but serves more than 10,000 patients annually for STI, breast and cervical exams and other health services. Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast and three patients filed a lawsuit in federal court last month seeking to block the state from cutting the Medicaid contracts. U.S. District Judge John deGravelles is reviewing the lawsuit, and the state’s Department of Health and Hospitals agreed to postpone cutting Medicaid ties to Planned Parenthood until at least Sept. 15 while the case continues. DeGravelles, meanwhile, appears to be unconvinced that the video allegations are sufficient grounds for Jindal, who is running for president, to deny patient care. “There’s no question that what Governor Jindal is trying to do is not only unlawful, it is wrong,” Planned Parenthood Louisiana director Melissa S. Flournoy said in a statement Aug. 31. “Politics should never get in the way of health care. … There is nothing to substantiate the state’s claim that other providers can absorb the patients Planned Parenthood will no longer be able to see if this is allowed to stand.” In its response brief, Planned Parenthood said that “regardless of the real reason behind the termination, [the state] has still not argued, proven, or even suggested that PPGC is not ‘qualified’ to provide services in Medicaid.” — ALEX WOODWARD

With three city agencies supporting their removal, four Confederate landmarks and statues in New Orleans face an uncertain future that is now in the hands of the New Orleans City Council. The Vieux Carre Commission (VCC) voted unanimously Sept. 2 to support removing the controversial monument to the Battle of Liberty Place under a citywide “nuisance” ordinance. That ordinance says a public statue can be considered a nuisance if it “honors, praises, or fosters ideologies which are in conflict with the requirements of equal protection for citizens” or “suggests the supremacy of one ethnic, religious, or racial group over any other, or gives honor or praise to any violent actions taken wrongfully against citizens of the city to promote ethnic, religious, or racial supremacy of any group over another.” The so-called Liberty Monument

(currently at the end of Iberville Street near the riverfront streetcar line) is among the most controversial of four landmarks up for debate. In 1874, nearly a decade after the Civil War, in an attempted coup to overthrow the local Reconstruction government, members of the Crescent City White League took up arms against the Metropolitan Police and state military. The White League succeeded for a short time, but federal troops quickly restored order — then left after the next presidential election. On Aug. 13, the Historic Districts Landmark Commission (HDLC) and the Human Relations Commission agreed that the monument — as well as monuments to P.G.T. Beauregard outside City Park, Robert E. Lee at Lee Circle and Jefferson Davis on Jefferson Davis Parkway — “may be removed” under the nuisance ordinance. The VCC concurred. Pierre McGraw, a member of the Monumental Task Committee, a citizen group opposing the city’s attempts to remove the statues, said that removing the Liberty Monument would come at a large cost to taxpayers and suggested adding interpretive plaques or more statues “to forgotten heroes or new heroes.” Other opponents said removal of the Liberty Place monument would be Orwellian, comparable to the destruction of arts and architecture by the terror group ISIS. As it stands, McGraw said, the statue’s context is “benign.” After the monument’s erection in 1891, the city added new inscriptions — the first in 1932 — that added, “United States troops took over the state government and reinstated the usurpers but the national election of November 1876 recognized white supremacy in the South and gave us our state.” In 1974, the city added a marker noting that, despite the importance of the monument in the city’s history, “the sentiments in favor of white supremacy expressed thereon are contrary to the philosophy and beliefs of present-day New Orleans.” At an upcoming meeting, the City Council will consider whether to remove the monument. Meanwhile, U.S. Sen. David Vitter is championing the movement to keep the monuments in place. He has taken out radio ads across rural Louisiana blasting Mayor Mitch Landrieu for proposing their removal. Last week, Vitter was joined by former KKK leader and neo-Nazi David Duke, who threatened legal action to halt removal of the Liberty Monument. “We believe that the heritage of New Orleans is at stake, the heritage of our state is at stake and the heritage of our country is at stake,” Duke said, adding, “We have a right to preserve our heritage and our values the same way that African-American people have a right

APA vows reform regarding government programs

The American Psychological Association (APA) is in the news almost 10 years after its board voted to keep its convention of 20,000-plus members in post-Katrina New Orleans. A standards-setting organization for the nation’s psychologists, the APA is now vowing an era of reform after an internal investigation found APA leaders secretly “colluded” with CIA and Pentagon torture programs. Retired U.S. Army Col. Larry C. James, a native New Orleanian and former psychology professor at LSU who became a top intelligence psychologist at Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib prisons, cast the only “no” vote against an APA proposal to ban psychologists from participating in national security interrogations. The resolution passed, 157-1. “‘No torture’ — who’s going to disagree with that?” James said before the recent APA vote in Toronto. He expressed fears of fallout from the election. “Does international law supersede U.S. law? Because if the answer to that is yes, this [vote] has dire consequences for all federal employees, particularly in the [Veterans Affairs Administration] and the Department of Homeland [Security].” The vote followed an APA investigative report that found a “pattern of secret collaboration” between APA leaders and the Pentagon to influence APA rules affecting CIA and Pentagon interrogations. The 542-page report didn’t support allegations that James and three other psychologists participated in the “torture” of suspected terrorists, but it did cast doubt over the APA disciplinary process that dismissed ethics complaints against them. “We found that the handling of ethics complaints against prominent national security psychologists was handled in an improper fashion, in an attempt to protect these psychologists from censure,” the report said of the APA Ethics Committee. Bill Quigley, a law professor at Loyola University at New Orleans, says the Louisiana State Board of Examiners of Psychologists should reconsider its 2008 decision to dismiss a complaint against James’ conduct at “Gitmo” as outside the licensing board’s jurisdiction. “What Dr. James did was wrong then and it is wrong

now,” Quigley says. James denies any wrongdoing. — ALLEN M. JOHNSON JR.

COMMENTARY

thinking out loud

Much worse off hirty-five years ago, then-presidential candidate Ronald Reagan asked American voters, “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” Louisiana voters should ask themselves a similar question as they approach this year’s race for governor: Is Louisiana better off than it was eight years ago? On the matter of fiscal stability, the answer is a resounding “No!” — thanks to the policies of absentee Gov. Bobby Jindal. As a candidate, Jindal pledged never to use one-time money to pay for recurring state expenses. He lied. In his first year, he spent the $1 billion surplus that former Gov. Kathleen Blanco left him. In every subsequent year, he used one-time revenues to cover recurring state expenses — often in larger and larger increments. Jindal put the state in such a deep hole that this past spring he had to resort to Orwellian doublespeak by forcing lawmakers to pass the so-called SAVE Act, which purportedly let him claim that he balanced the budget without a tax increase. Only in Jindal’s mind and La-La Land is that the case. In truth, Jindal and lawmakers raised taxes and

fees by $767 million. Louisiana voters aren’t fooled — nor are those in Iowa and New Hampshire, where Jindal’s delusional presidential campaign remains stuck below 2 percent. Meanwhile, we recently learned that $767 million in tax and fee hikes still won’t get Louisiana through the first half of the current fiscal year. Already the Jindal administration has had to recommend $4.6 million in mid-year budget cuts, most of which fell on public higher education. More mid-year cuts are likely as the price of oil hovers near $40 a barrel. The Jindal budget pegged oil at $62 a barrel. It gets worse. Louisiana’s popular TOPS college scholarship program is $19 million short, and the state’s Medicaid program has a whopping $335 million budget gap — because Jindal’s budget didn’t account for increased spending across various programs. Team Jindal’s official response to all this bad news is to hope that state revenue forecasts improve. They won’t. In fact, in future years Louisiana’s structural deficit will grow exponentially.

Absentee Gov. Bobby Jindal’s legacy will be one of abject fiscal irresponsibility.

It is forecast to exceed $700 million in Fiscal Year 2017 (which begins July 1, 2016), and by FY2019 it’s expected to reach $1.9 billion. That is Bobby Jindal’s legacy. His current strategy is to stay the hell out of Louisiana and try to postpone additional cuts until he’s officially out of office — leaving the next governor and Legislature with a colossal mess. Every candidate for governor pledges to call a special session to fix the mess that Jindal is leaving. At the current rate, it will take one session just to deal with this fiscal year’s problems — and probably another to deal with the long-term issues that Jindal refused to address as governor. Clearly, Louisiana is much worse off than it was eight years ago. As voters evaluate the candidates for governor, they should ask themselves not only whether Louisiana is better off after eight years of Jindal, but also which candidate seems mostly likely to follow the same destructive path that he blazed — and which is most likely to chart a new course of fiscal responsibility.

Hey Blake,

What is happening with the old masonic building at St. Charles and Clio, next to the interstate? It’s a great-looking building. It would be a shame for it to fall into disrepair. Laura Johnson

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > SEPTEMBER 8 > 2015

Dear Laura,

Many people probably have driven past that distinctive building or looked up at it while riding a St. Charles Avenue streetcar, unaware of its rich history. Others correctly will remember it as the Jerusalem Temple, a site for Carnival balls, concerts, dances and graduations, as well as the headquarters for the local Shriners organization from 1918 until 1995. With the more formal name of the Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, the Shriners is a Masonic fraternal and service organization formed in New Orleans in 1885. By the mid-1900s, its membership was large enough to require a new headquarters. Carrying out the group’s Middle Eastern theme, the club designed its 38,000-square-foot headquarters, the Jerusalem Temple, in a Moorish architectural style. The architect was Emile Weil, who also designed the Saenger Theatre, Touro Synagogue and the Whitney Bank building on St. Charles Avenue in the CBD.

Owners of the former Jerusalem Temple on St. Charles Avenue plan to renovate and reopen the building. P H O T O B Y K A N D A C E P O W ER G R AV E S

Shriners from across the country converged on New Orleans in December 1918 for dedication ceremonies. “The new mosque presents in all its aspects the tone of the Orient,” according to a story about the dedication in The TimesPicayune. “Its outward view is that of an Egyptian temple with mosaics, minarets and golden domes.” Inside, the building had two auditoriums, a seating capacity of 2,000 and a banquet hall, club rooms, a swimming pool and baths. While the Shriners’ continue philanthropic work, including supporting children’s hospitals and burn units, the group no longer is based in the large brick building at 1137 St. Charles Ave. In 1995 the Shriners relocated to Destrehan, and the former Jerusalem Temple is now owned by the Church of the King, which holds religious services in Mandeville, Biloxi and Metairie, but not at the St. Charles Avenue location. It does offer outreach programs there, including one for the homeless. Pastor David DeGarmo says there are plans to renovate the building and reopen it, possibly as early as next year.

hen it comes to New Orleans philanthropy, few can match the generosity of Edith Stern, who died Sept. 11, 1980 — 35 years ago this week. Born in Chicago, she was the daughter of Sears, Roebuck & Co. President Julius Rosenwald, himself a noted philanthropist. She and husband Edgar Bloom Stern, a New Orleans native whom she married in 1921, both realized the importance of sharing their personal wealth. Major recipients of their generosity included the New Orleans Museum of Art, the New Orleans Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra and Dillard University, which the couple helped establish. The Sterns also were active in voter education and registration efforts and Jewish causes. They founded the Newcomb Nursery School and Metairie Park Country Day School, as well as Flint-Goodridge Hospital and WDSU-TV. The family home, Longue Vue House and Gardens, is a national historic landmark, named after the Hudson River inn where the Sterns became engaged. They both were honored with The Times-Picayune Loving Cup. In 1977, the StatesItem named the Sterns the city’s leading philanthropists of the past hundred years, noting, “Every city should have its own Sterns.”

A truncated campaign season his is put up or shut up week in Louisiana politics as qualifying opens for hundreds of state and local offices. In many other states, the big elections coincide with the presidential contest. In Louisiana, we don’t want our local contests to overshadow the race for the White House. Officially, qualifying begins Tuesday morning and closes Thursday afternoon. On the Oct. 24 open primary ballot will be six statewide offices, 144 legislative seats, eight seats on the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE), and hundreds of local and parochial offices. The statewide offices are governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general, insurance commissioner and commissioner of agriculture. In most parishes outside New Orleans, the local ballot includes races for parish president, council (or police jury), sheriff, clerk of court, assessor

for official campaigning by moving the qualifying dates up several months. Four to six weeks for an entire campaign is a ridiculously short window of time for voters to choose six statewide elected officials, 144 legislators — and lots of local offices. A longer time span between qualifying and Election Day not only would give voters more opportunities to get to know all the candidates (and hopefully make better choices), but likely also would increase voter turnout, which has been falling in recent elections.

and other parochial offices. By the time qualifying closes Thursday afternoon, the Secretary of State’s office could be putting together ballots that contain nearly 1,000 candidates. For hundreds of incumbents seeking re-election, qualifying is the political equivalent of Hell Week. They qualify early and then sweat for the next two-and-ahalf days, waiting to see who lines up to oppose them. But don’t cry for incumbents. The deck is pretty much stacked in their favor, starting with the qualifying dates themselves. Take this year’s election schedule, for example. Qualifying for the Oct. 24 primary is barely six weeks before Election Day — and only four weeks before early voting starts on Oct. 10. That leaves precious little time for challengers to mount campaigns. Incumbents also have decided namerecognition and fundraising advantages in most cases. I’ve written before that state lawmakers should lengthen the time frame

In the next few years, qualifying will in fact move up from September to mid-July for autumn elections. Next year, that will allow more than three months of campaigning for congressional seats and the U.S. Senate seat currently held by David Vitter — plus a batch of local races (such as Orleans Parish School Board) — on the Nov. 6, 2016 ballot. In 2017, the New Orleans mayoral race will be on the fall ballot instead of competing with NFL playoffs and Mardi Gras in February and March 2018 — a wise move for many reasons. In addition, qualifying for the Oct. 14, 2017 open primary will be in mid-July, again allowing for three months of official campaigning. Hopefully, state lawmakers will allow a similar amount of time for the 2019 statewide elections. That election schedule has not been established — and those who set the dates for it will have the same self-interest at stake as those who gave us this year’s truncated campaign season.

New Orleans’ dreams are riding on seven players and a whole lot of ‘what ifs’

PHOTOS BY DERICK HINGLE

even players will determine much of the New Orleans Saints’ 2015 season. What will happen if Drew Brees really is getting too old for all this? What if hometown hero Delvin Breaux helps forge the best secondary this side of Seattle? Are all the other new guys good enough? Everything could go two ways. Let’s break it down.

I S D R EW B R E E S STI LL

DREW BREES? Nothing matters more to the Saints today and tomorrow than the status of their great quarterback. Last year’s questions about arm strength could lead to tomorrow’s questions about whether rookie Garrett Grayson is ready to take over sooner rather than later.

What if Drew is still Drew?

Fortunately, Brees looked just fine during the preseason. Better than fine, really. He seemed healthy, rested and once again prepared to release hell on NFL defenses. As goes Brees, so goes the Saints’ offense, and that’s not a bad deal.

What if Drew really is in decline?

If the turnovers keep going up, the big plays start going away, etc. — then the Saints will need the defense to pick up the slack. That defense is full of questions, and it may not be up to the task. If Brees isn’t great, by October we’ll spend our Sunday afternoons doing laundry.

The Saints signed cornerback Brandon Browner — fresh off back-to-back Super Bowl titles as a member of the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots — to provide locker room leadership and solidify a bad situation at cornerback.

The Saints released pass rusher Junior Galette, and for good reason, but now the pressure on second-round draft pick Hau’oli Kikaha has increased. Somebody along the Saints’ defensive front has to pressure the quarterback. Kikaha seems the only viable candidate.

The McDonogh 35 alumnus with the miraculous story could save the Saints — if he stays healthy and plays as well as he practices.

A healthy, competent Browner will stop the Saints’ carousel of disaster opposite Keenan Lewis and give the team’s defense a huge boost. No matter what anyone says, NFL games are won through the air. Browner’s aggressive style and rare size for a cornerback will pull the Saints’ defense off the bottom. He might even make it average.

What if Browner is just an injury-prone penalty machine?

Browner has had injury troubles in camp. As the Saints learned with Jairus Byrd last year, big-name players in the secondary don’t help much when they’re on the sideline in street clothes. Even if Browner is healthy, the Saints will have to endure his propensity for penalties. Browner was penalized 15 times last year in just nine games. Saints fans once again might find themselves cursing the name of their second cornerback by midseason.

What if Kikaha emerges as a pass-rushing force?

The Saints put almost no pressure on opposing quarterbacks during the preseason. When they did, it generally came from Kikaha. Even if Browner works out and the Saints’ secondary is solid, the lack of a pass rush might ruin them. On the other hand, a solid secondary working with a Kikaha who terrorizes passers? That’s a recipe for success.

What if Kikaha is just … OK?

It’s tough to put high expectations on any rookie, even one like Kikaha who seems a step ahead of the game. He could meet expectations this year and do just fine, collecting a few sacks to go along with a bunch of tackles, and still it wouldn’t be enough to keep the Saints’ defense from being torched.

What if Breaux is for real? The Saints haven’t had depth at the cornerback position in a long time. If Breaux can provide that, he could ensure that even if Browner gets hurt or is a disappointment, the Saints’ secondary holds up.

What if Breaux is a mirage?

First, Breaux’s failure would be disappointing because he’s the sort of player we want to see succeed, but it also would be disappointing for the win total. Start pulling out pieces of the Saints’ secondary, which seems strong, and the whole defense could fall apart.

P R E S E A S O N S U P E R S TA R ?

ROAD G RADER?

WEAPO N?

The 2014 Saints made things hard on themselves. Their poor kick return meant the offense more often than not started in bad field position, which meant a long road to points. Enter Marcus Murphy.

The trade of Jimmy Graham made a lot of sense when fans began to realize what the Saints had acquired in exchange for the all-pro sorta-tight end, sorta-wide receiver. With Unger blasting open holes for running backs and protecting Brees, the Saints’ offense has a chance to improve from really good back to great.

Much was made of the way the Saints sent offensive weapons packing over the offseason. Graham? Gone. Receiver Kenny Stills? Gone. Running back Pierre Thomas? Ditto. The team thinks it can get away with this for two reasons: first, Brees is still great; second, the coaches and players believe in Cooks.

The Saints haven’t fielded a threatening kick returner since Michael “Beer Man” Lewis. In 2002, when Lewis was a Pro Bowler, the Saints set what was then a record for most points scored in franchise history, though their offense ranked only 19th with respect to yardage. That was thanks to the Beer Man and the easy scoring opportunities he produced routinely. Imagine if Murphy does the same thing, only with Brees at quarterback instead of Aaron Brooks.

What if Murphy is nothing special?

The good thing here is failure wouldn’t be disastrous. A great returner is a luxury, not a necessity. The Saints will still be fine on offense if Murphy is just another in a long line of below-average guys in that role — but the season will be a lot less fun.

What if Unger stays healthy?

Unger is a good player, but the uncertainty lies in his inability to stay healthy. He missed 10 games in 2014 after missing a handful the year before. If Unger stays healthy, he’ll give Brees plenty of clean pockets in which to step up and uncork bombs like the one to wide receiver Brandin Cooks against the New England Patriots this preseason, and that’ll make the Saints’ offense very fun to watch.

What if Unger can’t stay healthy?

The problem with Unger’s potential injury risk is he seems like the key to everything on the all-important interior line. A dominant Unger means the guards beside him, the aging Jahri Evans and new starter Tim Lelito, will have the support they need. Losing Unger would require the Saints to reshuffle their line, maybe moving Lelito to center and installing an unknown quantity at guard. That sort of chaos cou ld wreak havoc on the Saints’ offense.

What if training camp Cooks is permanent Cooks?

Cooks set the Greenbrier on fire at training camp last year, too, and though he played well before his 2014 season ended with an injury, his numbers weren’t scary-good. Somehow, Cooks looked even better in camp this year, and even better than that during the preseason. If that scintillating version of Cooks is the permanent Cooks, the Saints may have the best playmaker of the Sean Payton era on their hands — an unholy combination of Lance Moore, Devery Henderson and Reggie Bush who could be on his way to 100 receptions.

What if Cooks is just “some guy”?

If Brees has proved anything, it’s that he can throw to and have success with almost anyone. But the 2015 Saints are stretching that concept as far as it can go. Beyond Cooks, the team’s receiving options are old (Marques Colston) or unknown (everyone else). If Cooks doesn’t become the Saints’ new primary target, Brees may need to figure out how to throw to himself.

othing about the hype that suffocated the New Orleans Saints this time last year is more retrospectively cringeworthy than something a friend said to me after the team’s third preseason game this year: “Hey, remember when you wanted to start interviewing fans for a retrospective of the 2014 championship season before it started?” I was wrong about that team, just like almost everyone else. The Saints responded to our collective judgment error by changing directions with a series of trades and cuts and signings that made the offseason far more exciting than the season it followed. The moves were daring, maybe desperate, and have made 2015 as uncertain a season as any in a long time. Drew Brees told ESPN in July that the Saints “almost have to kind of rewind, start back over, like in ’06.” That was neither the quarterback’s first nor last comparison of the current team to that inspiring unit from almost a decade ago that returned to a struggling New Orleans after spending a year on the road post-Hurricane Katrina and improved from a 3-13 record in 2005 to 10-6 in the 2006 regular season and a spot in the NFC Championship game (losing 39-14 to the Chicago Bears). Head coach Sean Payton joined the refrain, but that sort of rhetoric is just football talk for unpredictability. This year the fans don’t know what to expect. Neither, it seems, does the team. The Saints are at a crossroads. Which way will they go?

D E C LI N E MAN IA Many fans, and the national sports media in general, decided last year that Drew Brees has declined. It’s true he’s aging: 36 is old in football years. Fans submitted his 17 interceptions as evidence, even though Brees exceeded that number in 2007, 2010 and 2012, and matched it in 2008 — a year the same media crowned him NFL Offensive Player of the Year and fans chanted “MVP! MVP!” in the Superdome. The other evidence was a mystical loss of arm strength, obvious to some but not to others. Since

All those people who said Drew Brees was losing arm strength turn out to be right. Brees gets worse in 2015, and the Saints can’t justify retaining him because of his mammoth salary cap number. And the defense ... well, what defense? The Saints bottom out, win three or four games and the golden age of New Orleans professional football ends.

Despite the best efforts of Payton and General Manager Mickey Loomis, the Saints continue to veer off into mediocrity. Brees stays solid until retirement, but Payton and Loomis can’t figure out this defense thing and the Saints never seriously contend again.

MEDIOCRITY

O N TH E STRAIGHT A N D NA R R OW This is what we want. Buoyed by a resurgent Drew Brees and a new defense featuring rookie stars Hau’oli Kikaha and Stephone Anthony, the 2015 Saints win 11 games and spend the remaining years of Brees’ career contending annually for a Super Bowl championship.

Brees’ downfield production didn’t actually change last season, the concept was not backed up by anything beyond visual anecdotes — but that didn’t matter. By the time the Saints used a thirdround draft pick on Garrett Grayson as a rookie quarterback, funeral preparations were underway. Then, against the New England Patriots in the Saints’ second preseason game Aug. 22, Brees fired a deep touchdown pass to receiver Brandin Cooks that was so gorgeous it required explanation: How could his presumably decomposing corpse make such a throw? About the same time, reports emerged of a torn oblique muscle that limited Brees

for all of 2014, and during coverage of the Saints’ third preseason game Aug. 30 against the Houston Texans, commentator Troy Aikman mentioned an injured rotator cuff. The real cause of Brees’ apparent decline may have been the messy situation along the interior line, and the real reason for his possible resurgence is improvement at that spot — most notably in the form of new center Max Unger. That may be irrelevant, but now there is a popular explanation for last year — and with that explanation comes hope. Maybe the best days of Drew Brees aren’t quite behind us.

The New England Patriots win about 94 percent of the games in which quarterback Tom Brady produces a passer rating of at least 100. The Saints win 82 percent of their games when Drew Brees does the same. The missing 12 percent represents the decreased margin for error in New Orleans — it’s a result of bad defense. Much of what the Saints did between 2014 and 2015 has been about defense. Of the team’s nine draft picks, six went to that side of the ball. Of those six rookies, four — linebackers Hau’oli Kikaha and Stephone Anthony, defensive lineman Tyeler Davison and cornerback Damian Swann — seem poised to make contributions immediately, especially Kikaha and Anthony. During the preseason, Kikaha often seemed to be the defense’s lone playmaker, providing its only consistent pass rush and its most aggressive presence against the run. Now that the Junior Galette saga finally has ended with the Saints releasing him before training camp (a move that reportedly will cost the organization about $16 million), Kikaha has become even more important. He is not a luxury item. He has to be very good, very fast. Anthony, the likely candidate to start at inside linebacker, was a sensation

during training camp at the Greenbrier in West Virginia, flashing athleticism beyond anything the Saints have deployed at the position in recent memory. His presence during the preseason was muted; he was just there, and he made a couple of key mistakes. That two rookies are so integral is emblematic of the Saints’ defense as a whole. It might be okay, but only if: if if Delvin Breaux is a capable fill-in for Keenan Lewis during the

first month of the season, if Lewis can return from his reported hip surgery on time, if Brandon Browner stays healthy, if safety Kenny Vaccaro rebounds from his poor performance in 2014, if safety Jairus Byrd eventually proves to be a real person, etc. If the theme of the year is unpredictability, then defense carries the theme’s flag. Yeah, it’ll be fine. If.

BRAN DIN COOKS

The difference between expectation and result was so vast last year that having fun was almost impossible. Talented but undisciplined, the 2014 New Orleans Saints were easy to dislike — and Galette was the physical manifestation of that. Beyond the wins and losses, perhaps the most important part of the football experience this year will be rediscovering the fun of it all. Consider rookie running back Marcus Murphy: During preseason, every time he touched the football, fans had fun. If all goes as expected, Murphy will touch the football a lot as the Saints’ primary kick returner. And think about how fun it was when Cooks caught that 45-yard touchdown bomb from Brees against the New England Patriots Aug. 22. With luck, we’ll see a lot of that. Even after their partial reboot, the Saints’ recipe for success is the same. The questions that remain won’t determine whether they still have a good offense, but those questions will determine whether they have a great one. Most important, they’ll determine whether the defense is just good enough. If it’s not, expect the Saints to hover around .500 again. But with enough questions about the new defense answered in the affirmative, and with a potentially soft AFC South-focused schedule, a final record that includes many more wins isn’t out of the question. Football is fun because it’s unpredictable. With their rhetoric about 2006, the 2015 Saints may be recognizing this idea and embracing it. Do the right football things at the right football times and have fun — and hope that the oblate spheroid bounces your way. If just a few more things go well than go badly, these New Orleans Saints could earn a 10-6 record and return to the playoffs. That would be a delightfully familiar result.

Louisiana Craft Beer Week showcases the state’s breweries. BY N O R A M c G U N N I G LE

t the third annual Louisiana Craft Brewers Week, local brewers, bars and restaurants promote Louisiana beer and the people who make it. The recently opened World of Beer (300 Julia St., 504-299-3599; www.worldofbeer.com/locations/warehousedistrict) in the Warehouse District has an event every night spotlighting a different Louisiana brewery. Although World of Beer is a national chain, each location reflects the local beer culture. World of Beer pairs featured beers with special food items at several events, such as a chicken wing and beer deal including Tin Roof Brewing Company’s new Gameday Session IPA. The bar’s signature infusion tower transforms Gameday with gin-soaked grapefruit and pineapple, and the kitchen serves habanero-pineapple wing sauce to complement the infusion’s flavors. Louisiana food and drink entrepreneur and The Next Food Network Star runner-up Jay Ducote hosts two events during the week. Ducote has worked with the Louisiana Office of Tourism on its Louisiana breweries webpage (www.libations.louisianatravel.com/breweries), and he has included all Louisiana breweries that distribute in New Orleans at the second annual Louisiana Brewers Bash on Wednesday, Sept. 16 at The Irish House (1432 St. Charles Ave., 504-595-6755; www.theirishhouseneworleans.com). Ducote also is working with Cate Street Seafood Station (308 S. Cate St., Hammond, 985-340-3891; www.catestreet308.com) on a beer dinner on Tuesday, Sept. 15 featuring beer from Gnarly Barley Brewing Company, Chafunkta Brewing Company, Tin Roof Brewing Company, Parish Brewing Company, Bayou Teche Brewing and Covington Brewhouse. Tickets are $75 and attendees should contact the restaurant for reservations. Breweries present some of their most creative concoctions this week. Throughout the week, Chafunkta Brewing will pour Red Rocker, which is its Bayou Blaze Irish red ale aged with Cabo Wabo Tequila Blanco-soaked oak chips in 15-year-old barrels used by the McIlhenny Company to age Tabasco sauce. NOLA Brewing showcases a bourbon barrel experiment at The Avenue Pub (1732 St. Charles Ave., 504586-9243; www.theavenuepub.com) on Tuesday, Sept. 15. The brewers aged Irish Channel Stout in barrels from George Dickel Tennessee Whisky, Four Roses Bourbon and Wild Turkey Bourbon. Bayou Teche serves unique beers at events all week long, including Knott’s Berry Beer, which is a French-style ale aged for three months with blackberries in white wine barrels. Also available in very limited quantities is Strawberry Alarm Hop, a strawberry-habanero IPA brewed specifically for Louisiana Craft Brewers Week. Local brewpubs also are participating in beer week. They include Crescent City Brewhouse (527 Decatur St., 504-522-0571; www.crescentcitybrewhouse.com), Old Rail Brewing Company (639 Girod St., Mandeville, 985-612-1828; www.oldrailbrewery.com), nanobrewery Courtyard Brewery (1020 Erato St., www.courtyardbrewing.com) and the brand new Second Line Brewing (433 N.

Although they’ve tweaked the menu to fit their clientele’s tastes, many of its dishes were offered when the business launched in November 2013. Collazo, who works with the team of chefs, cites French toast with caramelized bananas and pancetta as a favorite. The “savory, sweet and starchy” combination hits the spot, she says. A variety of breakfast dishes along with salads, sandwiches, fruit juices and smoothies round out the menu. Daily specials like pulled pork breakfast nachos and pancakes with fresh peaches are written on the chalkboard in the front room, which serves as the reception area and kitchen. Biscuits & buns does not take reservations, but it offers a call-ahead policy so guests can put their names on the wait list before arriving. The

restaurant is BYOB, and the neighboring Banks Street Bar & Grill opens early, serving mimosas, bloody marys and other drinks to customers waiting for tables. The dining room walls are decked out with colorful murals by local artist Skip NOLA. Collazo says the building’s original owners paid the artist, gave him a six-pack of beer and “he just painted through the night.” The colorful murals depict the Treme Brass Band, a dreadlocked Mona Lisa and a poem from Stall’s father, local historian Buddy Stall, titled “A Toast to Remember.” “We brought the artist back to do a few other fun things once we took over… my husband is found on the wall as a tuba player,” Collazo says. “If you can’t locate him, I’m sure one of our staff can help you out.”

Pommes frites, served in a wire basket, are topped with smooth aioli made with what works oven-roasted tomatoes. Dessert appears to be a work in progress. The flatbreads, steak tarrestaurant offers cakes from Debbie does Doberge. A tare, soft-shell crab chocolate creme brulee rounds out the menu, offering a twist on the classic French dessert: the crispy exterior shatters with the tap of a spoon and the creamy, dark chocolate custard below is excellent. The menu changes frequently, and entrees mostly fall in the $24 to $27 range. Despite the upscale vibe, there is little pretense at Saveur. The chefs pay strict attention to detail while melding global ingredients with classical techniques, ultimately enhancing rather than confusing the result.

hef Dominique Macquet hails from Mauritius, an island in the Indian Ocean off the African coast, but to get to his current restaurant Saveur, all he had to do was cross the street. Prior to landing at the Uptown bistro opened by Kimble Donington-Smith in February, Macquet cooked across the street at his namesake Dominique’s on Magazine, one of two iterations of the restaurant, both short-lived in comparison to his 12-year stint at the shuttered Dominique’s inside the Maison Dupuy Hotel. The whirlwind, three-day makeover of the space, which previously was called Baie Rouge, included Macquet’s hiring and an interior overhaul, a 180-degree switch from the spot’s prior bright, playful color scheme. Now the slim dining room features muted tones, slate-gray walls and an air of Uptown finesse. What hasn’t changed is the blond wooden bar with a row of stools cushioned in white leather. Dinner can be expensive, but at happy hour at the bar, prices are slashed on drinks, wholewheat flatbreads and roti, a nod to the street food of Macquet’s homeland. Buckwheat orbs are topped with a cast of rotating seasonal ingredients, and the marguerite is a spin on the classic Italian pie, featuring melting mozzarella, juicy Creole tomatoes and fresh sprigs of basil. The prosciutto di Parma version has thin slices of cured Italian ham and a medley of cheeses. The bread is topped with a mound of spicy arugula and a drizzle of truffle oil, giving it just enough earthy flavor without falling into the truffle trap and coming off as overkill. The menu changes daily depending on what’s in season. At first glance, it appears similar to offerings at many other upscale bistros, with elegant dishes showcasing classical French techniques. A closer look, however, reveals international touches and exotic tweaks woven in to many of the standbys. Leche de Tigre is a lime and pepper base used to cure fish for Peruvian-style ceviche, and it shows up in a tuna sashimi presentation and anchors a basil vinaigrette in an excellent softshelled crab dish (more about that crab later). Scotch bonnet peppers are grown by the chef and dress up tart green papaya salad. Garam masala, kaffir lime, chimichurri and harissa all make appearances on the menu.

Chef Phillip Lopez will open a deli named Part & Parcel (611 O’Keefe Ave.) in the Central Business District in late fall. Lopez, who co-owns Root (200 Julia St., 504-252-9480; www.rootnola.com) and Square Root (1800 Magazine St., 504-309-7800; www.squarerootnola. com), says the new spot will be a dine-in and takeout “modern delicatessen” with a strong focus on house-made charcuterie. There will be health-conscious items as well. The 2,200-square-foot space is sandwiched between the soon-to-open Company Burger 2 and Magasin Kitchen at The Paramount building on O’Keefe Avenue. It joins the Besh Restaurant Group bakery and cafe, Willa Jean (611 O’Keefe Ave., 504-509-7334; www.willajean.com), and the international small-plates spot from the Booty’s Street Food team, Ursa Major (611 O’Keefe Ave., 504-3098765; www.ursamajornola.com). The space will seat 40 to 50 people and will offer craft cocktails and a boutique beer selection, Lopez says. There also will be a pick-up bar where locals can get takeout orders. Lopez also sees potential to create what he calls a “chef-curated retail market,” offering cookware, preserved fruits, pickles and spices. — HELEN FREUND

the team behind the popular Modernist Cuisine books, which highlight the scientific process behind cooking. Myhrvold culled through more than 500,000 images taken for the books to select shots for the exhibit. Many of the large-format photos are more than 6 feet tall and feature food subjected to various cooking techniques. Visitors can see the delicate insides of a blueberry and get a bird’s-eye view of the minuscule hairs covering the stem of a ripe tomato. Myhrvold used techniques rarely employed in food photography, including panoramic stitching, focus stacking and microscopy. Also on display are videos taken with a high-speed camera that show cooking processes, including a montage of popping popcorn and a fireball created from the essential oils of an orange. Myhrvold and his team of scientists and professional chefs published Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking in 2011. The tome became instantly popular despite its price tag (Amazon.com currently lists the five-book set at $539). The Photography of Modernist Cuisine (2013), is available ($120) at the exhibit and includes most of the photographs on display. The exhibit is open through March 1. — HELEN FREUND

Restaurant news

• The Mid-City grilled cheese joint, The Big Cheezy (422 1/2 S. Broad St., 540-302-2598; www. thebigcheezy.com), is opening a “permanent popup” in the kitchen space at Dragon’s Den (435 Esplanade Ave., 504-9405546) starting Oct. 1, the owners said. The Broad Street sandwich and tomato soup hawkers are replacing Korean food vendor Seoul Shack (www.seoulshack.com), which opened inside the Esplanade Avenue bar last fall. That business is moving to an unannounced location on St. Claude Avenue. Adam York and Josh Fogarty opened the flagship location earlier this year. The menu at the Dragon’s Den will be a streamlined version of the one at Mid-City, including the Mac ’n’ Cheezy and the Crazy Old Goat. The team is adding a few new items to the mix, such as a sloppy joe grilled cheese and a selection of loaded cheese fries, York said. No changes are afoot at the Mid-City location, but York says Creole Creamery milkshakes will be available there soon. The Dragon’s Den location open at 5 p.m. and serve until “late” Thursday through Monday. • The opening of Central City grocer Jack & Jake’s Public Market (1307 Oretha Castle Haley Blvd., 504-333-6100; www.jackandjakes.com) may have hit another setback: Employees with the company confirmed this week that founder John Burns has stepped down as CEO. The 30,000-square-foot “food hub” inside the former Myrtle Banks Elementary School spans a block and is expected to feature two-full service restaurants, an oyster bar, two specialty butchers, a cheese cave and a fresh produce stand. The store, which aims to bring fresh and affordable food to Central City residents, originally was slated to open a year ago. In May, Burns said the store on Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard would open “very soon,” but operators at the long-delayed project now predict a fall opening. Benjamin Warnke, a partner in the company, is serving as acting CEO while a national search is underway for Burns’ replacement. Burns and Warnke did not immediately respond to calls for comment. • Warehouse District hotspot Balise (640 Carondelet St., 504-459-4449; www.balisenola.com) added brunch service recently. Chef Justin Devillier’s menu includes staples from the restaurant’s lunch and dinner menus (cheeseburger with “comeback” sauce, pickled quail eggs, CBD Cobb salad) as well as egg and brunch favorites. Pain perdu comes with chicory butter, pecan crumble and cane syrup glaze; braised beef cheeks are served with pepper relish, pearl onions and a smoked poached egg; buttermilk biscuits are topped with black truffle gravy and tarragon scrambled eggs. Brunch is served from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday. — HELEN FREUND

3-COURSE interview

Clinton Haughton Chef

Clinton Haughton moved from Jamaica to Atlanta, Georgia, nearly two decades ago and came to New Orleans in 2008. After years of cooking on cruise ships, Haughton started to sell jerk chicken on the street before launching his food truck, Johnny’s Jamaican Grill, in 2013. Now, Haughton has nabbed one of six spots at the Central City outdoor food court, Roux Carre (www.rouxcarre. com), which is slated to open in mid-October. An initiative by the Good Work Network, the program aims to help entrepreneurial food service workers start businesses while offering the neighborhood affordable food options. Haughton spoke with Gambit about his project.

How does your setup at Roux Carre work?

Are you sticking with Jamaican food?

H: For now, yes. Jamaican food is a lot like New Orleans food. New Orleans is a spicy place, let’s put it that way. We use a Jamaican jerk sauce, which has fresh thyme, fresh herbs and lots of spices. Jerk chicken is spicy and certainly has a different flavor, but people love it; they say (mine) is one of the best they’ve had so far. Jerk chicken will be the No. 1 dish I sell. I’ll also have rice and peas, which you call red beans and rice, but we cook it a little differently. We use coconut milk, thyme, onions, cayenne and then just cook it down, so it tastes right. We’ll have fried plantains, curried chicken and rice, brown stew chicken, jerk fish … and whole red snapper and jerk shrimp. I’ll also have some greens, a type of salad and macaroni and cheese.

What’s next for you?

H: I see (Roux Carre) as a stepping stone, a place for someone to start out. Then, after a year or two, you pass the torch to someone else. You spread the wealth. I want to get established; I want to make life better for me and for everybody. Right now I have a guy who I’m training to be the second in command over there when I’m not around, so I will probably still run the truck at night. Right now I’m refurbishing the truck, putting in a new stove and a new fridge. Later on in life I’m thinking about opening my own restaurant — I’m thinking like three years from now. That’s my plan. — HELEN FREUND

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > SEPTEMBER 8 > 2015

Houghton: With the food truck, I almost only work at night. But at the food court, it’s going to be more of a daytime thing, for the lunch crowds and also some dinner. So for people who don’t do the nightlife thing, it will be a nice way for them to try it out. It’s like a big, outdoor food court. The vendors will all share one big kitchen. There will be music; it’s outside and there will be a lot of international food. The first year, (the vendors) pay a small percentage of our sales to the project. I think it’s going to be a blast. Why not try something new? I’ve traveled a lot in the United States, but I’ve never seen a food court like that: six different chefs, six different types of food, there’s no reason to go anywhere else — you can stay right there and try everything. It’s going to be good for the city. It’s going to be good for the area, and it will bring jobs for the people who live there. It goes all the way around. It’s good for us, it’s good for the system, and it’s good for the people too.

BEER buzz Now that summer vacations are over, it’s time for some belt-tightening. But there still are many places to enjoy beer at a discount or for free.

WINE of the week 2013 Marie Andre Bourgogne Pinot Noir COTE D’OR, FRANCE RETAIL $11

Hailing from the historic home of the pinot noir varietal, Burgundy wines are among the most prized, expensive and age-worthy wines in the world. The renowned Burgundy region — Cote d’Or in northeastern France — is comprised of the Cote de Nuits district on the northern side and Cote de Beaune on the southern half. The Romans initially cultivated vines more than 2,000 years ago in the region’s celebrated limestone soils, and Burgundian wines are all about terroir, with individual environments distinguishing the styles and nuances of the grapes. This wine is from vintner Pierre Andre, founded in 1923, and features fruit from Cote de Beaune vineyards in the Aloxe-Corton, Savigny-les-Beaune and Ladoix communes. It blends pinot noir grapes from vines averaging 40 years old, the optimum age for production. Following harvest and vinification, 20 percent of the wine is aged in French oak barrels, and the remainder rested in temperature-regulated stainless steel vats. In the glass, it exhibits aromas of red and black berries and hints of mushrooms and forest floor. On the palate, taste cherry, strawberry, spice, earthy notes, gentle tannins and refreshing acidity. Decant 20 minutes before serving. Drink it with tuna tartare, grilled salmon, rack of lamb, duck confit and herb-roasted chicken. Buy it at: Costco. — BRENDA MAITLAND Email Brenda Maitland at winediva1@bellsouth.net

Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Godspeed You! Black Emperor is almost too immense to enjoy. It’s a band to ponder, to let wash over you, in which to become immersed. The Montreal instrumentalists spent a quiet decade between releases and, Godspeed You! SEPT like dog years, the span seemed Black Emperor to take forever and went by in the 9 p.m. Saturday blink of an eye. When they returned Joy Theater to the studio, with 2012’s surprise four-song, 53-minute Allelujah! 1200 Canal St. Don’t Bend! Ascend!, it wasn’t so (504) 528-9569 much a reunion as a reprise after a lengthy rest; the two 20-minute www.thejoytheater.com anvils, “Mladic” and “We Drift Like Worried Fire,” were recompenses to anyone who sacrificed their eardrums at concerts in the early 2000s. It’s music that is and always will be: the sound of storms gathering, of glaciers melting and waters rising, of certain species evolving and others becoming extinct. Rather than belonging to any particular genre, Allelujah feels like time-lapse video footage of the entire history of a movement, be it punk or metal or noise — there is birth and life and death and decay, and everything feeds back into that which begat it, all the while new things springing from the organic matter left behind. Fifth LP Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress (Constellation) can rightly be called the first “new” Godspeed material since 2002’s Yanqui U.X.O., and it’s a twisted, purple-tinged mushroom that’s punched through the dung. Exclamatory opener “Peasantry or ‘Light! Inside of Light!’” is all heavy psych-rock hits and smeared guitar leads; “Lambs’ Breath” all static atmosphere and eerie, otherworldly possession. “Asunder, Sweet” swarms out of the former’s drones, half insect, half electrical interference; and “Piss Crowns Are Trebled” plays the part of the big finish, a temple vice of drones and strings, crashing cymbals and imploding framework. It’s exhausting and exhilarating, a workout that works from within. Tickets $25-35. — NOAH BONAPARTE PAIS

Even before the rise of crime-centered psychological thrillers in the late 1940s and ’50s now known as film noir, Hollywood cranked out crime stories packed with heists, hold-ups, crooked cops and ruthless gangsters. Like the other genre films of that time (Westerns, scifi, etc.), the early crime movies delivered no-nonsense entertainment and seemed to thrive on the limitations of the form. That’s the aesthetic behind director Jon Watts’ Cop Car, a minimalist crime thriller that looks to the early films of Joel and Ethan Coen — Blood Simple in particular — for modern-day inspiration. True to its roots, Cop Car’s initial set-up couldn’t be more straightforward: two 10-year-old boys (newcomers Hays Wellford and James Freedson-Jackson) walking in a secluded field in rural Colorado stumble upon an empty police cruiser belonging to the local sheriff. Making the first in a series of very bad decisions, the boys take the car for a joy ride. We soon learn that Sheriff Kretzer (Kevin Bacon) was nearby doing something lawmen are not supposed to do, which means that getting the car back without drawing attention becomes a matter of life or death for him. Complications and plot twists ensue as the upper hand shifts constantly among the story’s five main characters. Shot on a tiny budget with what may be the year’s sparest screenplay, Cop Car manages to do a lot with a little. The wide-open spaces and extended silences give the film a feel all its own. At the center of the story is Bacon’s tightly wound, criminally inclined sheriff, all bushy mustache and wire-rimmed shades, as he struggles to keep his life from unraveling through the actions of two innocent kids and a little bad luck. Bacon throws himself into the role with enough gusto to make the film’s potentially too-familiar territory appear fresh. There’s a wonderfully disruptive scene in the middle of the film in which the sheriff is obliged to steal a car by first picking the door lock with a dangling shoelace. His struggle goes on way too long for a more conventional film but works nicely in the context of Cop Car. The scene also points to the ingenuity possible within the tight parameters of a genre film. Both Wellford and Freedson-Jackson are completely natural as the rebellious but well-adjusted kids, even as Watts’ script (co-written with Christopher Ford) renders them too unsophisticated for 2015 — especially since their repeated mistakes and the resulting dangers are the only things pushing the story forward. Cop Car’s unpredictable turns and bitter ironies are unabashedly Coen-esque, but the strong presence of the two kids and their well-drawn friendship recalls coming-of-age movies like Stand By Me and The Outsiders. Cop Car made waves at this year’s Sundance Film Festival without earning any awards. But Watts won something bigger: based on the film’s Sundance buzz — Cop Car is Watts’ second feature and his first to receive theatrical distribution — Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures signed the 34-year-old filmmaker to direct the 2017 reboot of their Spider-Man franchise. It’s quite a leap from Cop Car to the Marvel Universe, and we’ll find out if “scalable” is a concept that applies to genre films. — KEN KORMAN

Louisiana Contemporary

Much of the Ogden Museum of Southern Art’s annual Louisiana Contemporary exhibition looks like it was curated by our native musical voodooist Dr. John. In fact, it was curated by Prospect New Orleans director Brooke Davis Anderson, whose background in folk art may have helped prepare her for south Louisiana. But the anthropological spirituality seen here is really part of a broader move away from the Louisiana Contempoacademic theory of recent decades and toward work that THRU harks to the origins of art in ancient rituals and the far rary: juried exhibition of SEPT recesses of the psyche. works by 68 artists Kristin Meyers’ Bound by Nature is a vaguely figurative Ogden Museum of concoction made up of spherical whorls of wicker, hair, Southern Art basketry, cowrie shells and twine tied into a psychically charged fetish that resonates an eerie, Mother Earth vibe. 925 Camp St. Meyers says she engages in ritual practice “to explore the (504) 539-9650 human condition,” and indeed, her work can seem curiously www.ogdenmuseum.org alive. But for sheer weirdness, it’s hard to beat Elizabeth Derby’s We Tease to Please! hair assemblage, a tangled mat of braided and unbraided locks like something conjured by Marie Laveau reincarnated as a street corner beautician. No less voodooesque is Chris Lawson’s This is Not a Clown (detail pictured). Here doll parts, ceramic frogs, antique bottles, pool balls and the like comprise an alchemical roux from the dark corners of the collective unconsciousness reconfigured into a spooky reliquary of cultural memory. Michael Aldana’s I Can Still Taste Christmas in Your Hair is a painting of a four-armed, four-breasted, pantyhose-clad diva that takes us to the intersection of pop culture and the cosmic. Carl Joe Williams’ painting of a little girl contemplating a dandelion amid flashbacks of the Calliope housing project evokes the quieter magic of ordinary life, as does Ruth Owen’s Done Marching painting of a seated, overweight woman in racy black lingerie. She could have been rendered as a comical figure, but Owens paints her so sensitively that her unexpected beauty is revealed for all to see. — D. ERIC BOOKHARDT

At the beginning of Be a New Orleanian: A Swearing-In Ceremony, Jim Fitzmorris seems angry. He grew up in the city and says that over the years he has participated in countless debates about who is and is not a New Orleanian — conversations frequently spurred by visitors or newcomers. He unpacks what he thinks it means to be a New Orleanian in his one-man show, now playing The Theatre at St. Claude. Directed by Mike Harkins, the show is framed as a series of six “Be a New Orleanian” tips, such as “a smile might save your life” and “indulge.” Fitzmorris pulls from his own life experiences, which allows him to play up local humor that longtime residents will find familiar, such as fierce high school loyalties (Fitzmorris went to Jesuit High School). He’s at his funniest when he rants, especially about how the city has a niche tour for everything and how no one uses turn signals. These rapid-fire tirades go from witty to scathing in less than a sentence. While the hourlong show covers a lot of ground socially and politically, Fitzmorris skims over racial issues. He deftly navigates the city’s terrain, and commentary on race relations could have been interesting. For much of the performance, Fitzmorris sits at a desk flanked by yearbooks, Zatarain’s products and Mardi Gras beads. The set is minimal and avoids distracting from the show’s emotional thrust. Fitzmorris’ rants always lead to insightful and affecting payoffs — he’s not just talking to hear himself scream. One of the show’s most poignant moments comes when he tells the story of a “cool” looking couple that doesn’t smile — which he already has recommended in a key tip — at a grocery cashier. The anecdote encapsulates some residents’ feelings toward transplants who seem to have invested little in the city while laying claim to its name. His tips mostly are for people new to town, but he references many things only longtime New Orleanians could recognize or appreciate. He eloquently breaks down the media’s “N’awlins narrative” of indulgence without consequences and writes a love letter to the small moments that make New Orleans great. Though Fitzmorris is rightfully critical at times, he doesn’t tell transplants to pack their bags, but rather asks those who want to be New Orleanians to get to know the city. The monologue is well-written and dynamically delivered. Whether people have spent decades or a few weeks here, they can enjoy the show and leave the theater with plenty to discuss. — TYLER GILLESPIE
