FROM THE EDITOR EDITORIAL

ovember is a time of giving thanks, and this month we give thanks for the sweeter side of life, both inside the kitchen and dining room and out about town. Celebrity chef Gail Simmons once said, “There is no better way to bring people together than with desserts.” We couldn’t agree more. From New Orleans classics like our iconic cover star Mile High Pie and southern pecan pie, to new favorites such as roasted banana zeppole and peanut butter pie, we have the not-so-skinny on all the best creations to satisfy your sweet tooth. Even better, order extra for the table or pick up another pie for Thanksgiving and share the wealth with family and friends. As the holidays approach, we tend to loosen our diets and enjoy culinary delights a little more. And why not? You deserve that extra spoonful of pie, that new libation creation calling your name or the ooey gooeyest thing on the menu. Inside this issue you’ll find plenty of things to do and ways Have something you want to share with to celebrate the fall season, including delightful tips, shopping us? Email ashley@ selections and restaurants and taverns designed to tickle your myneworleans.com. taste buds and bring some cheer. Our Nosh recipe is a treat of a holiday dish that’s sure to be a new family favorite, and our Cheers cocktail creation is both spicy and sweet. Life is short: Eat dessert first. That same “seize the day” mentality holds true for many things in life, especially in an extraordinary year such as 2020. In New Orleans, we embrace family and community. We share our favorite recipes for sweet potato and pecan pie, and the best places to pick one up in a pinch. We share the highs and lows of Saints games and pandemic closings and re-openings. Like enjoying dessert first, remember to do the things that bring you, your family and neighbors joy, and the rest will follow. Sweet tidings and happy fall. Enjoy!

“MENDING THE SKY” AT THE NEW ORLEANS MUSEUM OF ART (NOMA)

It’s exciting news for New Orleans arts lovers! On Oct. 9, NOMA opened “Mending the Sky,” its first major exhibition since the city shut down for months as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Open through Jan. 31, the exhibition features 11 artists’ projects. These works are bound by a common theme: a world turned upside down. That theme is explored through the fields of art, animation and performance. The show’s title comes from a Chinese fable where a rip in the sky causes the Earth to split open, bringing fires, floods, famines, and disease until a goddess mends the broken sky. “Mending the Sky” features several major new acquisitions by local and international artists, giving a global perspective to issues facing New Orleans and the rest of the world. These projects have roots in places as diverse as Brazil, Europe, China, the American South, India, Vietnam and Jamaica. “’Mending the Sky’ touches on the many complex ideas that we, as a community, have been challenged to address in the times of COVID-19,” said Susan Taylor, the Montine McDaniel Freeman Director at NOMA. “This is an exhibition about loss and uncertainty, but also creates space for recovery, healing, and hope.”

On Sept. 25, New Orleans’ oldest restaurant (180 years young) announced that it would be reopening for lunch and dinner on Fridays and Saturdays, as well as brunch on Sundays. The private dining rooms are also open. Reservations can be made by calling the restaurant at 581-4422.

2 OGDEN MUSEUM OF SOUTHERN ART

If you’re looking to take a trip downtown to enjoy some art, call the Ogden Museum of Southern Art at 539-9650 and reserve a time to visit the museum. Because of social distancing and safety protocols, all visits must occur during a pre-arranged window of time.

LISTEN TO THIS

Songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and New Orleanian Leyla McCalla just re-released her album “Vari-Colored Songs: A Tribute to Langston Hughes” after a limited 2013 release. McCalla’s music combines Haitian influences with classic American folk music for a unique sound that pays tribute to the world renowned poet and thinker.

“A STAR IS BORED” BY BYRON LANE

Loyola University of New Orleans graduate Byron Lane spent three years working as the personal assistant to “Star Wars” legend Carrie Fisher. Lane’s new book, “A Star Is Bored,” is a fictionalized tale of Charlie, a young gay man dealing with the demons of a traumatic childhood. Charlie is hired to assist an aging actress who starred in a blockbuster science-fiction film. There are late night shopping sprees, a spur-ofthe-moment trip to see the Aurora Borealis and other adventures. Charlie also befriends other assistants, who trade darkly funny stories of the crazy demands their famous employers make. The story isn’t all comic. There’s a darker side to the actress, who has a pillpopping habit and a sizable self-destructive streak. But ultimately, the relationship between Charlie and his boss is an affectionate one. “The Los Angeles Times” calls it “savage satire leavened with compassion.”

BARATARIA PRESERVE

If you live in a city, sometimes you can take its special attractions for granted. The same is true for New Orleanians. With outdoor activity increasing in the wake of COVID-19, consider taking the 30-minutes-or-so (depending on where you are in the city) drive to the Barataria Preserve. It’s part of the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve and features some wonderful nature hikes through swamps and wetlands. As of press time, the visitor center remains closed, but the trails, restrooms, and parking lots are open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Barataria Preserve is located at 6588 Barataria Blvd. in Marrero.

PIZZA PIE

Noodles, Please! Jeff Gapultos and Chef Nhat “Nate” Nguyen came up with the idea for Union Ramen Bar after a night out on the town. While they planned to open in the Lower Garden District on Apr. 4 (National Ramen Day), they delayed until July 8 due to the pandemic. The interior, designed by Gapultos, his wife Cat Vo and Collectivo Design, is purposely modern mixed with industrial elements. The restaurant is unique thanks to its Tori (poultry-based) and Miso (plant-based) broths—rather than the heavier Tonkotsu (pork-based) broth found at most ramen restaurants. Also on offer is Mazemen—a saucier style of ramen, minus the broth—with options like Dirty Mazemen and Slap Ya Kim-chi Mazemen on the menu. 1837 Magazine St., Ste. B, 459-2819, unionramen.com.

The team behind NOLA Brewing is using its knowledge of water, yeast and fermentation to bring a new pizza parlor to the Crescent City. NOLA Pizza Co., set to open this month at the Tchoupitoulas Street taproom, will offer New York City-style pizza that pairs perfectly with beer. The trick to making a tasty NYC style-pizza starts with the water, and the team is using its brewery expertise and in-house lab to make authentic pizza dough. Expect the toppings to be as varied as the beer choices. 3001 Tchoupitoulas St., 896-9996, nolabrewing. com.

EXPANDED OUTDOOR DINING

Boucherie, known for its in-house smoked and cured meats, reopened with an expanded outdoor dining area and new menu. Executive Chef Nathanial Zimet and his long-time staff member, Amilcar Bautista, built the covered outdoor seating area by hand. It features trellises covered in wisteria, picnic tables and benches, and four-top tables with purple chairs to match the vines as they bloom. The new dinner menu boasts items like whole hog pulled pork, W Black Farms wagyu skirt steak, creamed corn gnocchi, duck breast, pan seared puppy drum and applewood smoked scallops. A robust wine menu and seasonal cocktails complement the menu. Zimet also just launched Happy Hour, Tues.-Sat. from 5-6 p.m. 8115 Jeannette St., 862-5514, boucherie-nola.com.

The New Orleans Chapter of Les Dames d’Escoffier International (an organization of women leaders who create a supportive culture in their communities to achieve excellence in the food, fine beverage and hospitality professions) has announced a new virtual book club. The next meeting takes place Nov. 21, when the group will discuss “History of American Cuisine” by Paul Friedman. While the book club is free to foodies who are interested in discussing food-related fiction and nonfiction, a suggested donation of $5 helps to support the organization’s work in the community. Advance registration is required. facebook.com/ lesdamesnola.

DECADENT DESSERT

Mason Romain and Kelsey Fisher recently opened Parish Parlor Ice Cream in the Lower Garden District. According to Romain, the decision came about purely from quarantine boredom. They started experimenting with baking, which eventually led to making their own ice cream from scratch. The duo opened the ice cream parlor in mid-September, specializing in French-style ice cream (meaning egg yolks are added to the base, thereby lending a rich, fattiness to the dessert). Parish Parlor also has some Philadelphia-style flavors (minus the eggs), plus a few vegan ice creams and sorbets. Overall, they currently have 18 flavors that include blackberry cheesecake, salted caramel and lemon ricotta honey. As a pet-friendly shop, they also offer pupcicles for Fido. 1912 Magazine St., 302-2244, parishparlor.com.

Tales of the Cocktail Foundation—a non-profit organization that educates, advances and supports the hospitality industry—has announced its winner of the 2020 Spirited Awards. The award, which recognizes top beverage professionals, products and establishments across the global spirits and cocktail community, was presented on Sept. 21 and 24. This year’s virtual TOTC conference had the theme of catalyst (to spark change). Each of this year’s award winners represent a global class of change-makers. The first round of winners announced on Sept. 21 included Best American Bar Team presented by William Grant & Sons (Café La Trova, Miami); Best American Cocktail Bar presented by Pernod Ricard (Pacific Cocktail Haven, San Francisco); and Best New American Cocktail Bar presented by Elijah Craig (Silver Lyan, Washington, D.C.).

The best part about this November is that I didn’t hear a single Christmas Carol in a store in October. I suppose that’s probably because I didn’t go to any stores in October. But still, it’s the little things that make you smile in times like these. No trick-ortreaters meant I saved $40 in candy. You look for things to be thankful for in this time of Thanksgiving. But I do hope that somebody will tell me when it’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. Otherwise, I won’t know. My parked car got hit by a food delivery truck. There are a lot of food delivery trucks on the road these days. I went to my local body shop, a small independently owned business on the north shore to get the damage fixed. It’s a cozy joint, just the owner and two employees. Nobody wears masks. The owner, he drove my car back to my place when the job was done. A fine job, I might add. So naturally, I offered to drive him back to his shop. I put on my mask and started the car. He said to me: “You’re always wearing that. You don’t have to worry about me; I don’t have it.” It. “And I don’t go anywhere, anyway,” he added for reassurance. Point made. But maybe he’s forgetting that, even if he goes nowhere, about 20 people a day come to him, unmasked. I’m in the Cone of Possibility, or whatever it’s called. The Death Trap. The Suicide Rap.

or 31 years, the New Orleans Film Festival has highlighted the Big Easy’s mark on the film industry and the local creators that are making a difference in the field. This year, southeast Louisiana native and current New Orleans resident Abraham Felix is set to debut two short films at the 2020 festival. Like many this year, Felix had to pivot as COVID-19 threw a wrench in to everyone’s plans. Ahead of the virtual festival, we caught up with the filmmaker to talk about his films, what motivates him as an artist and what’s next in his future. Q: Who is Abraham Felix? I’m a New Orleans-based film director by way of writing and editing for print and television. My work often falls within the realm of observational cinema, as I constantly find myself exploring humanity, interiority, and relational complexity across project type. Q: What attracted you to filmmaking? Before I ever picked up a camera, I grew up involved in church and theater productions, while always copping a ticket to as many movies as I could afford. I think there’s a connective tissue to each of those arenas that left an unknowable but profound imprint on me as a young person. As I grew older, I learned there is also a tremendous responsibility in each of those arenas to seek and cultivate honesty - even more so now than when I started in this industry a decade ago. Today, reality is as fractured as the number of different sources from which we consume stories. Perception is as prismatic as the amount of eyeballs witnessing an

event. Truth, honesty, and integrity in the stories we tell ourselves are as important as which stories we tell and support because those stories shape us, our behaviors, our potential, and our reality individually and collectively. It is not always easy to be honest and look at ourselves with honesty, ready to accept what we see. So I’m drawn to the challenge of being one of many filmmakers, artists, storytellers and activists who grabs every opportunity to do just that. Q: What motivates you as an artist? As a journalism major, I learned precisely how media shapes reality, and beyond what I learned in school, how perception creates reality. From words on a page, to actors on a stage, to video games, television, movies and other works of art, the things we see with our eyes are influenced by in our souls, shape our behavior. For generations so many of the stories we’ve seen reflected don’t always thoughtfully interrogate the effects of gun violence, racism, sexism, all manner of harmful world views. And to put it mildly, I think our current shared reality demands better from us. We simply cannot continue on telling the same stories in the same way because that’s a big part of what got us here. It’s on those of us who call ourselves storytellers and artists to be leaders in that change. So in that light, I feel a tremendous motivation and responsibility to be as much of a force as I can for shifting the American paradigm in a more just, humanistic, and inclusive direction.

Kit and Caboodle Storming the bar

Well, this was all I needed — a Cat One moving in. Now, I ain’t talking ‘bout the weather. This Cat One is a cat. One cat. At first. I got to explain. My gentleman friend Lust is manly enough, being the owner of The Sloth Lounge, the kind of bar that don’t stick little umbrellas in your drink, but where everybody knows your name and your business and how much you can hold before you do something stupid. (And which, being in the French Quarter, has been doing zilch business during the pandemic.) But Lust got a soft spot for cats. I live behind the Sloth, in a nice apartment across the courtyard, with my youngest daughter Gladiola, and Lust lives up above the bar, and we visit a lot, and maybe we’ll get married before the end of the world, if that don’t happen too soon. Anyway, a couple months ago, Lust opened the Sloth front door for some air, and this cat strolled in and hopped up on a bar stool like she was waiting to be served. Lust went behind the bar and found a dusty can of pet milk, and poured her a shot, which she licked up, very dainty, with one paw on the bar. So, she became the new bar cat. (Lust usually keeps a bar cat, but he was between cats at the moment.) And since we were watching one of them tropical storms, Lust named her Cat One, since we were hoping that’s all it would amount to. Well, Cat One had a secret, which we didn’t find out about until she holed up for a long time under the stairs one day. Then she presented us with Cat Two, Cat Three, Cat Four, Cat Five, and little Invest, the runt of the litter. Because the bar was closed, Cat One took her brood and moved in with me and Gladiola. I have to admit, them kittens made the pandemic lively. With kittens around, every time you open a door to go outside, you first do the cat dance, stomping your feet around to scatter the kittens so they won’t dash out with you. And if you’re dumb enough to put the cat litter box in

NOVEMBER 2020

your own bathroom, you can forget about solitude in there. Every time I sit, Cat One escorts her little ones to the litter box for a lesson in what to do in there. Every time. Naturally, we have been ordering a lot from Amazon, and everything comes in boxes, and cats love to sit in boxes and stare. So, we got boxes around, each with its own sitting, staring cat, until the place looks like a cat-wrapping factory. The vet says kittens got to stay 12 weeks with their mama, at which point she will get sick of them, so we figure they’ll be moving out by Christmas. My friend Awlette, my sister-in-law Larva, and my older daughter Gumdrop each want a Christmas kitty. That will take care of Cats Two, Three, and Four. Cat One will take over the bar cat position, and little Invest will wind up with me and Gladiola. That leaves us Cat Five.

He’s the one always stuck halfway up a curtain, squalling. If you leave a cup of anything on the coffee table—he’s the one who hops up there and knocks it off with his little paw. When it crashes down, he skitters away hysterically, and when the sky don’t actually fall, he sits and licks his back leg, like: “Crash? What crash?” One day he prances across my computer keyboard while I am on a Zoom call with Gladiola’s teachers at Celibacy Academy. And he somehow unmutes my sound so everybody gets an earful of bad words I am yelling at him. Would you believe, that Zoom meeting found him a home. Seems they got a mouse problem at the retired nuns’ home. And they need an “aggressive cat” to solve it. So, come Christmas, he’ll join the convent. They’ll call him, “Cattus Quinque,” which means “Cat Five” in Latin. (Some nuns still love Latin.) His mama, the bar cat, will be proud.

wo of the very youngest newsboys I could find in New Orleans. Seven and nine years old. Such little fellows are rare, Nov. 1913. Lewis Hine.” So read the caption that accompanied this image taken by the famed Wisconsin-born photographer and social reformer Lewis Hine. Little did these little boys know that they were part of a nationwide effort to eliminate abusive child labor practices in the United States. During Hine’s 1913 visit to Louisiana, he found these two young boys selling newspapers, in violation of child labor laws, on the streets of New Orleans. Working for the National Child Labor Committee, or NCLS, this image was just one of thousands Hine took across the United States between 1908 and 1918 to document child labor in America. During his travels, Hine found small children working in factories, glassworks, textile mills, coalmines, cigar factories, cotton fields, along city streets, and in the oyster and shrimp

canneries along the Mississippi and Louisiana Gulf Coast. He found textile mills to be the worst offenders of child labor laws, followed by the tobacco industry and newsboy and messenger services. In 1914, Hine complimented Louisiana’s enforcement of child labor laws in an article he wrote for the NCLC. He visited sawmills and sugar and rice plantations, but found few age violations. New Orleans, he wrote, was better regulated than most other American cities. But there remained at least one significant flaw in the city’s record. Young messenger boys 12 to 14 years old were often called into Storyville, the city’s red-light district, to deliver messages and drugs to prostitutes and pimps. Hine, known in earlier years for his soulful photographs of immigrants arriving at Ellis Island, left the NCLC in 1918 and joined the American Red Cross to photograph the destruction in post-World War I Europe. In 1932 he documented the construction of the Empire State Building for his book “Men at Work.”

hoosing the best of the best in New Orleans food is an almost Herculean task; one that requires discipline, an open palate and some set guidelines. It’s hard work, but someone has to do it. ¶ In an effort to bring some kind of order to the task of determining which among New Orleans’ thousands of worthwhile desserts should make the final cut, I limited the contenders to those available to us throughout the year (or most of the year, as in the case of snowballs) as opposed to those tied to a specific holiday, such as king cakes.¶ If the traffic in area bakeries, confectioneries and ice cream parlors is any indication, during the pandemic people have rediscovering the simple joy to be had in a sweet treat.

MILE H I GH ICE CREAM PI E The signature dessert at Jack Rose—and before that The Caribbean Room—in the Pontchartrain Hotel is a dreamy gravity-defying, threetier pie crafted of layers of house-made chocolate, vanilla, and peppermint ice cream topped with marshmallow fluff, and finished with a chocolate drizzle. Generations of New Orleanians have huffed out special occasion candles parked in slices of the towering confection. Jack Rose, in the Pontchartrain Hotel, 2031 St. Charles Ave., 323-1500, jackroserestaurant.com.

L E MON C H A N T I L LY CAKE AND C H OC OL AT E PE A N U T BU T T E R DA R K C A K E Born and raised in upstate New York near the Culinary Institute of America (CIA), on Saturday nights Chaya Conrad’s mother frequently hosted dinners for CIA students, sparking her young daughter’s interest in the culinary arts. After moving to Vermont, the budding chef lied about her age (14) and got her first job at a local bakery decorating tarts and cakes. At 18 she enrolled in the CIA and did her externship in New Orleans. After working in several positions around the country she returned again to New Orleans, ultimately to head the pastry department for Whole Foods at Arabella Station, where she created the Berry Chantilly Cake, a celebrated, often replicated creation which is now sold nationwide across the Whole Foods brand. In 2017, Conrad opened Bywater Bakery. Beyond the obvious, the vibrant space also serves as an art gallery, informal community center, and live music venue. “We support all of the things we love,” Conrad said. “Bywater Bakery has become what we dreamed it would be.” Choosing the standout was a maddening task but, ultimately, two radically different cakes rose— however incrementally—above the others. The ladylike, pastel-hued “Lemon Chantilly Cake” consists of delicate layers of yellow butter cake soaked in lemon simple syrup, filled with whipped lemon-kissed Chantilly cream, and topped with fresh fruit. Conrad’s “Chocolate Peanut Butter” is as hearty as its counterpart is not: Layers of dense, moist chocolate cake filled with peanut butter fudge, iced in intense chocolate buttercream, and dripped with peanut butter. Bywater Bakery, 3624 Dauphine St., 336-3336, bywaterbakery.com.

H UM M I NGB I R D CAKE Crowded with chunks of pineapple and banana and finished with a rich cream cheese frosting, Chef Nealy Frentz’s Hummingbird Cake is a house favorite at LOLA, the popular restaurant she operates and co-chefs in downtown Covington with her husband, Keith, a fellow Culinary Arts graduate of Johnson & Whales University. “The recipe is from my grandmother, Bertie Bledsoe,” Nealy said. “She was an amazing home baker. We offer a lunch special and we give the customer a choice of salad or hummingbird cake. I would like to think offering a slice of delicious cake sets us apart from the rest.” Lola, 517 N. New Hampshire St., Covington, (985) 892-4992, lolacovington.com.

T I R A M I SU Sometimes our first instincts are our best. “My tiramisu is the first dessert I put on the menu the week I became the pastry chef at Coquette,” said James Cubie. “I developed it on the fly for a private party.” To make his masterpiece Cubie fashions a “cake” of repeating layers of ladyfingers, chocolate pudding laced with Sambuca liqueur, pistachio, and candied lemon. “This is my favorite dessert I’ve ever made, so it remains on our menu year-round. It has been served at weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and baby showers. I rarely eat dessert but if this one is around, I always eat an entire plate.” An Atlanta native with a graduate degree in sculpture, after culinary stints in Chicago he apprenticed under Chef Zak Miller at Coquette starting 2014 and became Pastry Chef in 2016. Coquette, 2800 Magazine St., 265-0421, coquettenola.com.

OR A NGE HAZELNUT T ORTA Is it a cake or something else? “The Italians and the French frequently use meringue held together by some kind of nut flour as cake layers,” said Maggie Scales, the ridiculously talented pastry chef for the Link Restaurant Group. She very humbly describes the technique for making the stellar, best-selling torta she created for Gianna as “a little involved.” The laborious process effectively ensures Scales’ job security as few mere mortals could successfully pull off what it takes to make this most desirable piece of bliss. But it is a cakewalk for the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts graduate and Philadelphia native who worked under Lydia Shire in Boston before finding her way to New Orleans. “Making the hazelnut daquoise cake first involves whipping egg whites and sugar to a meringue, folding in chopped hazelnuts and piping it on to parchment in perfect round circles," Scales said. "We bake it until it’s crispy on the edges and a bit soft in the middle. We then make a ricotta mousse with gelatin and whipped heavy cream and fold in candied citrus. [We] recently added mini chocolate chips to the mousse to spice things up a bit.” Gianna, 700 Magazine St., 399-0816, giannarestaurant.com.

F R E SH ST R AW B E R RY CUPCAKES WITH I TA L I A N BU T T E R CREAM Light as a dream and tinted a hue worthy of a couture ball gown, pastry chef Dwynishia “Dee” Lavigne’s fluffy Fresh Strawberry Cupcakes are flavored with pure vanilla and frosted with lofty swirls of Italian butter cream kissed with a hint of almond and tinted blush pink with fresh strawberry puree. The elegant puffs are also offered with a finish of lightly sweetened, freshly whipped vanillascented cream. Fresh, hand-cut strawberries adorn the crowns of both versions. “As a child, strawberries were my favorite everything,” said the New Orleans native and Culinary Institute of America graduate. “I started making these in 2006. Everyone loves them.” Deelightful Desserts, by appointment only, 655-1195, deelightful. cupcakes@gmail.com. (Seen on previous page)

PIES+ TARTS

PISTACHIO MOUSSE TART

B A NA NA B ROW N BU T T E R TA RT E

A M A R E T T O, PE A R A N D DR I E D C H E R RY PI E Nicole Eiden and Marielle Dupre met while working in a restaurant before Katrina. The storm/flood sent Dupre, a Mandeville native and Tulane grad, running for the California Culinary Academy. Eiden, a filmmaker, writer, and self-taught baker, returned home to Columbus, Ohio, started working in another restaurant, married a guy from New Orleans and moved back. The friends reunited and started Windowsill Pies out of Eiden’s home kitchen in 2011, mostly fulfilling orders for friends and family. They recently opened their brick and mortar business. “”When we conceived the idea for the Amaretto, Pear and Dried Cherry Pie it was almost fully formed,” Eiden said, “a rare and welcome gift.” The complex concoction of fragrant, juicy pears and Lazzaroni amaretto liqueur-soaked dried cherries arrives under a golden pastry lattice of crisp, buttery Autumn leaves and clusters of cherries highlighted with freshly grated nutmeg and lemon zest. Windowsill Pies, 381-4953, 4714 Freret St., windowsillpiesnola.com.

The deep, nutty underpinning of this intensely satisfying tarte starts with very slowly browning whole butter for about an hour. The caramel-hued butter is then blended with aromatic spices and custard. The mixture is poured into a par-baked shell atop sliced ripe bananas then baked until golden. The tarte is served with dollops of fresh whipped cream and sliced bananas encased in candied caramelized sugar. The play between the shards of candied fruit and the lush richness of the custard is a sort of crème brulee gone stratospheric. Herbsaint, 701 St. Charles Ave., 524-4114, herbsaint.com.

PE A N U T BU T T E R PI E Unlike most barbecue shops dessert is no afterthought at The Joint, Pete and Jenny Breen’s standard bearing smokehouse/restaurant in the Bywater. The pies on offer are scratch-made in house, a point of serious pride for the staff. But it is the peanut butter version introduced by Carrie Lott, a former employee who moonlighted as a baker as a side hustle to her teaching job, that really stands out. Lott’s immortal creation has a graham cracker crust that crackles against a smooth and creamy filling, which has a faint, pleasing tang from the addition of Creole cream cheese from Mauthe’s Dairy. The Joint, 701 Mazant St., 949-3232, alwayssmokin.com.

Breanne Kostyk earned a degree in design from the Pratt Institute at the height of the Great Recession. No jobs were available, so she joined Project M, a program employing creatives to benefit social change, placing them throughout the country. Her team ended up in impoverished Greensboro, Alabama, where they were asked to build something —they did not know what, that was their challenge—that would unify people. Kostyk recalled overhearing a girl marvel over a piece of pie. “She was just saying how much she loved pie, and we all got into a discussion about how you can't really argue with pie. Everybody loves pie. We decided to unify people around pie." No matter that Kostyk had never baked a pie in her life. PieLab, a combination pop-up cafe, design studio, and civic clubhouse, was a success, a “negative-energy inverter, fueled by pie.” It attracted a diverse crowd and fostered the exchange of ideas and the forging of intergenerational friendships. Pie was served on ceramic plates, creating instant community because, as Kostyk told The New York Times, "people were forced to stick around and talk to each other, and not take their pie and run." Kostyk discovered that she preferred making pie to working as a designer. She has been the Pastry Chef at the Ace Hotel and Josephine Estelle restaurant since the hotel opened in 2016. “When I think back to all the desserts I’ve created at Josephine Estelle, one always comes back to me," she said. "It was a bowl of pistachio mousse with passion fruit sabayon, blackberry granita, and a crunchy topping made with pistachio paste, brittle, and feuilletine." Her show stopping, perhaps divinely inspired, “Pistachio Mousse Tart” brings all of those elements together in a tart form while merging a symphony of colors, textures, flavors, and fragrances. In addition to her work at The Ace Hotel, in May she started Flour Moon Bagels, a small baking business, out of her home. Check it out at @ flourmoonbagels on Instagram.

NEW ORLEANS CLASSICS

B A NA NA S F OST E R BAKED ALASKA Antoine’s signature dessert is made from Angelo Brocato’s vanilla ice cream layered atop an oval of house-made butter pound cake, the entirety of which is encased in whirls of meringue. The resulting bombé is dramatically set aflame then sliced and served with warmed dark chocolate sauce. “ We sell hundreds a week” said Lisa Blount, a member of the family that owns the 180-year old restaurant. “We actually have a special custom freezer to hold the desserts prior to serving.” Antoine Alciatore, the restaurant’s founder, is alleged to have served a version of the impressive dessert on his menu. Antoine’s Restaurant, 713 St. Louis St., 581-4422, antoines.com.

It was late afternoon, the French Market was closed, supermarkets had yet to exist, and restaurateur Owen Brennan challenged his sister Ella Brennan, and Chef Paul Blangé to concoct a show-stopping dessert in honor of his friend Richard Foster. “Damn you, Owen,” Ella recalled saying in her memoir, “Miss Ella from Commander’s Palace.” The dessert would have to be fabricated from pantry items already on hand. Though still exotic in other parts of the U.S., in 1951 bananas were abundant in New Orleans due to the presence of United and Standard fruit companies, both of which imported them from Central and South America. On any given day, bananas were usually on hand at Brennan’s due to family ties to Standard Fruit. Remembering a childhood dish of caramelized bananas sautéed in butter and sprinkled with cinnamon that her mother made as a treat, Ella and the chef decided to sauté some bananas. Tableside flambé was just catching on in New Orleans so they added some rum, set it aflame in the dining room and created a legacy. Brennan’s, 417 Royal St, 525-9711, brennansneworleans.com.

BREAD PU DDI NG Bread pudding is not a New Orleans invention. It’s not even an American invention. Merit for the creation of the confection we hold so dear belongs to unnamed yet clever and frugal Medieval European or Middle Eastern cooks with bread scraps too precious to waste. With a heritage of Creole thrift, creativity and a supply of “French” bread with its fragile yet crisp crust and light, airy center, it was preor-

dained that bread pudding would become New Orleans’ best known concoction of leftovers. The recipe for the “Bread Pudding” chef Jeffrey Heard serves at Heard Dat Kitchen in Central City belongs to his mother, Audrey Mae Heard. “My mom thrived in the kitchen, and I believe that is what instilled my passion for cooking,” said chef Heard. “Bread pudding is the one and only dessert that is served here. I think the texture as well as the homemade caramel sauce topped with fresh pecans, and shortbread cookie crumbles elevates it.” Heard Dat Kitchen, 2520 Felicity St., 510-4248, hearddatkitchen.com

SW E E T P OTAT O PI E When she died last year at age 96, chef Leah Chase, the embodiment of the term “New Orleans icon,” left behind a mourning city transformed by her grace, wisdom, lifelong civil rights activism, and expansive Creole culinary acumen. Her cuisine was humble and straightforward, elevated by the freshness and purity of her ingredients and the surety of her skills. Such is the case with her unrivaled “Sweet Potato Pie,” the recipe for which hailed from her childhood home in Madisonville where her family grew much of their own food, including sweet potatoes, in a garden surrounded by pecan trees. With an unsweetened crust made sturdy with chopped pecans, the pie’s filling is earthy, lightly spiced, and sweet. The recipe is so simple and straightforward Mrs. Chase chose to include it in “A Long Way from the Strawberry Patch: The Life of Leah Chase,” a recently published book of recipes and pearls of wisdom for middle-school students that she was writing with Carol Allen at the time of her death. Not a fixture on the daily menu,

the Sweet Potato Pie was reserved for special occasions and holidays, Thanksgiving in particular, a tradition continued by Chef Edgar “Dooky” Chase IV, Mrs. Chase’s grandson, who now mans the kitchen at the Treme landmark. Dooky Chase Restaurant, 2301 Orleans Ave., 821-0600, dookychaserestaurant.com.

PE C A N PI E With the 2012 opening of Gracious Bakery + Café, Meghan Foreman fulfilled her dream of making artisan baked goods accessible in her hometown. She returned to New Orleans after earning a degree from the New England Culinary Institute and professional experience in NYC. “We soon outgrew our first kitchen and decided to build out a commissary capable of supporting multiple locations as well as wholesale and catering, “ chef Foreman said. Gracious now has three locations serving breads, pastries, desserts, salads, and sandwiches, employs 60 people, has a growing product line available at Rouses supermarkets, and provide breads and pastries to many local coffee shops and restaurants. The Gracious take on pecan pie is a standout among many. “We wanted to put our own twist on it and hit upon the idea of using Sazerac’s Praline Liquor in the filling. It has this way of intensifying the pecan flavor. We always use local Bergeron pecans and for the crust we use European Plugra butter with a high butterfat content that makes it extra flaky.” Gracious Bakery + Cafe, locations Uptown, Mid-City, and Garden District, graciousbakery. com.

FROZEN TREATS

LEMON ICEBOX PIE Clancy’s has been impervious to change since Brad Hollingsworth bought it from a group of local businesspeople in 1987. The seasonally driven menu is allowed to drift enough to keep it interesting, but a core group of dishes has been reliably, soothingly, on offer every day. One of them in the restaurant’s signature “Lemon Icebox Pie,” which was introduced by Christine Hall, a luncheon chef who departed the restaurant years ago, leaving this enduring legacy behind. The pie, which bears the same butter-cup yellow hue as the exterior of the building, arrives on a chilled plate, straight out of the freezer, with a bit of whipped cream — sometimes it has been piped neatly atop the pie, sometimes it is spooned on, sometimes it is adorned with a transparent slice of lemon and a sprig of mint, sometimes not. Let your slice of pie sit for a few minutes. Drink you cup of coffee as the edges soften just a bit, but the center remains to the firm side, then brace yourself for the first bite. What could be shockingly sweet and rich, the pie is cut through by the bright refreshing tang of lemon. A graham cracker crust holds it all together. Clancy’s Restaurant, 6100 Annunciation St., 895-1111, clancysneworleans.com.

ICE CREAM The folks at Creole Creamery offer simple advice for a fulfilled life: "Eat Ice Cream, Be Happy." With a vibrant, seasonal, continually changing roster of over 100 flavors of ice cream, sherbet and sorbet, Creole Creamery is in the business of spreading joy. Those good vibes start back in the kitchen with chef Bryan Gilmore, a man with a vivid imagination, a brilliant palate, and the skill to manifest his ideas into ice cream. Gilmore and his business partner, David Bergeron, met while attending Brother Martin High School and both worked part-time at Swensen’s ice cream parlor in Metairie. Following college, both men pursued other careers, but when Swensen’s closed, Bergeron bought all of their equipment, put it in storage, and started making a plan. “Dave came to me about running the kitchen and making the ice cream,” Gilmore said. “I enjoyed making it at home to share with friends—unusual flavors like avocado ice cream, or pear and Champagne sorbet.” When the lease came up on the original McKenzie’s Bakery on Prytania Street in 2004, they set up shop. “David handles the business. I control production and the creative side,” Gilmore said. “Our mission when we started was—and remains—to make

the highest quality ice cream possible and still get a family of four out the door for 20 bucks or less. I still make all the ice cream for all of our locations myself.” He said his inspiration comes from myriad sources including seasonal produce, special occasions and people he knows. “We have lots of unique and innovative flavors, but I try not to be gimmicky. Being good is more important than being unusual and setting trends is better than following them. We are uniquely New Orleans and yet unique in New Orleans. I love that.” Creole Creamery, four locations, Uptown, Lakeview, Old Metairie, Bay St Louis, MS., creolecreamery.com

THE AT OM I C H OT - ROD SNOB A L L Ashley Hansen lovingly stewards Hansen’s Sno-Bliz, the historic snoball shop her grandparents founded in 1934. “My grandfather was the creative force of the business,” Hansen said. “He made all the things that make Hansen’s unique. He came up with the “Hot-Rod” in the 1950s. He loved cars and named snowballs with ice cream in the center after them. Now they are known around town as ‘stuffed’ snoballs. We have been making them for decades.” Hansen’s over-the-top Atomic Hot-Rod is a stunning work of edible art. A snoball —both Blueberry Cream and Nectar

flavors work impressively for the base— is topped with the works: cream, crushed strawberries or crushed pineapple, marshmallow cream, ice cream and a cherry on top. Hansen’s Sno-Bliz, 4801 Tchoupitoulas St, 891-9788, snobliz.com.

SA LT Y M A LT Y ICE CREAM PI E There is an evil sorcerer lurking in Michael Nelson. “ You will not be able to stop eating this,” he said, plunking down a slab of his “Salty Malty Ice Cream Pie” in front of three extremely over-fed diners who, clutching their swollen stomachs, refused dessert. “ This is the perfect combination of salt, sugar and umami. It hits every note. You will not be able to stop.” Three weary diners lifted their spoons into the plate. Just one bite. Just one more, again, and again, until it was gone. Nelson, executive chef of GW Fins and best known for his sheer brilliance with finfish, conceived the idea for Salty Malty “eight or 10 years ago” as a New Year’s Eve special dessert featuring pretzels (his wife’s favorite) and malt powder (his favorite). “This is a balancing act of sweet, salty and umami, “Nelson said. “There are extreme amounts of all three, so when they all hit your palate at the same time, it’s a flavor explosion.” GW Fins, 808 Bienville St., 581-3467, gwfins.com.

BU T T E R M I L K DROP B R E A D PU DDI NG Partners in life and business, chefs Alison Vega-Knoll and Drew Knoll found inspiration in their favorite childhood treats. They started with the McKenzie’s buttermilk drop donuts Drew enjoyed as a child. “We turned those into a bread pudding, soaking them in Sauce Royal overnight before baking,” Vega-Knoll said. Portions of the belt-buster are warmed before serving so it remains light and fluffy on the inside with crunchy crags on the outside that are ladled over with warm, sweet/salty butterscotch sauce and served with whipped cream on the side. “It reminds me of Christmas when you’d get those lifesaver books,” VegaKnoll said. “The roll of butterscotch was always my favorite. So, the dessert has endearing memories for us both.” Station 6, 105 Metairie-Hammond Hwy., Metairie, 345-2936, station6nola.com.

MILK C H OC OL AT E DOM E Oxlot 9 chef Jeffrey Hansel’s “Chocolate Dome” starts with a soft, rich dark chocolate cookie as a base topped with pillows of light milk chocolate mousse. The entire affair is enrobed in a shell of bitter dark chocolate, drizzled with buttery salted caramel, and topped with a vanilla cream infused with macadamia. A scatter of toasted macadamia nuts finishes it off. “We garnish with whatever fruit is in season to brighten the dish as

C R E OL E B R E A D PU DDI NG S OU F F L É W I T H W H I SK E Y SAUC E The late, beloved chef Paul Prudhomme achieved immortality through many of the dishes he created during his lengthy career. Among them is the enduring “Bread Puffing Soufflé” he concocted during his tenure at Commander’s Palace for the restaurant’s 100th anniversary in 1980. The menu advises you to order the labor-intensive dessert at the same time you order your entree. In the kitchen the employee devoted solely to this task will fold clouds of meringue into a cinnamon and vanilla custard foundation heavy with soaking cubes of Leidenheimer bread and dark raisins. The result arrives at table a puffed golden dome atop a pristine soufflé cup. On cue, your server cracks the dome with a spoon and ladles in whiskey cream sauce until it flows down the sides. The best part? The thin candy-like rim where the puff meets the edges of the dish. Make the effort to chisel it all out with your spoon. Commander’s Palace, 1403 Washington Ave., 899-8221, commanderspalace.com.

Rome was not built in a day. Neither was the ethereal, faintly floral cheesecake at Saba. “Labneh is strained yogurt and it adds a delicate texture and a distinct tang to the dessert,” said Alon Shaya, executive chef and owner of Saba. “This, with cranberries and rose, was developed by our amazing culinary team. Candied nuts give it the crunchy texture it needs.” Saba, 5757 Magazine St., 324-7770, eatwithsaba.com.

T H I A K A RY PU DDI NG W I T H F R E SH F RU I T A serendipitous encounter in a Senegal airport in 2016 brought chef Serigne Mbaye—an American citizen raised and educated in Senegal—to New Orleans where he quickly landed a job as a line cook at Commander’s Palace. There, he quickly rose to sous chef, before leaving for Café Adelaide for a top role in the kitchen. In 2018, he started hosting pop-up dinners exploring the connections between the foods of Louisiana and Senegal. He left New Orleans to hone his skills at Atelier Crenn, a 3-Michelin Star restaurant in San Francisco, and at L’Atelier Joel Robuchon, a 2-Michelin Star restaurant in New York. The rolling stone returned this spring to New Orleans, a city he vows he loves above all others, to stay. His pop-up, Dakar, regularly features Thiakary, a feast for the eyes. To make the gorgeous dish Mbaye cooks millet, West African grain with a light, nutty flavor, in sweet cream with raisins to form a pudding. He tops it with toasted coconut and a rainbow of seasonal fresh fruit. Dakar, 249-8966, dakarnola.com.

ROASTED BANANA ZEPPOLE Born and raised in St. Lucia, the flavors and textures of chef Nina Compton’s native Caribbean home merge with worldly influences and techniques she gleaned while living and working in celebrated restaurants in France and Italy. “During the holidays I like to make my ‘Roasted Banana Zeppole’ with rum caramel,” Compton said. “It’s a Caribbean spin on the traditional Italian dessert. Sometimes I even add pecans or other nuts to add more texture and depth to the dish. It’s the perfect fall treat.” Compére Lapin, in the Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery, 535 Tchoupitoulas St, 5992119, comperelapin. com.

LEGAL MATTERS WHERE TO TURN AND WHAT TO ASK WHEN YOU NEED A LAWYER BY TOPHER BALFER

s much as we rely on the legal system to guide, shape and govern our lives, it’s not often we afford legal conflicts much thought until we’re faced with them. But in situations that require the intervention of an attorney, knowing where to turn and who to call can become the biggest determinant in how stressful or stress-free your case becomes. We spoke with several attorneys in the Greater New Orleans region — encompassing practice areas like immigration law, professional liability, discrimination law and criminal defense — to answer some of our biggest questions about their unique specialties. In the following pages, these area professionals share their methods for approaching each new case, their clients’ most common misconceptions, and their advice for those seeking representation in order to help our readers act quickly and confidently when taking on a complex legal matter. FOR MATTERS RELATING TO INSURANCE DEFENSE & PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY, MELISSA LESSELL OF DEUTSCH KERRIGAN, L.L.P. From car accidents and medical malpractice to flood damage and work-

ers’ compensation, a vast spectrum of legal issues are encompassed by the insurance and liability umbrella. But what it all boils down to is one question: Who is at fault? Melissa Lessell, the youngest attorney at Deutsch Kerrigan to ever become an equity partner, most frequently represents professionals — such as other lawyers, insurance agents and healthcare providers — who are faced with lawsuits or complaints. Lessell says that one of the most common issues professional policyholders encounter in matters of insurance and liability is also one of the most detrimental: not reading the policy. “A lot of professionals do not read their insurance policies and do not understand the full scope of coverage afforded under it,” Lessell says. “I strongly urge professionals to read their insurance policies in full to get an understanding of what their policy actually provides in terms of coverage. And, under Louisiana law, if a policyholder receives a copy of their policy, they are legally deemed to know the contents of it.” In other words, ignorance is not bliss: if you have received a copy of your policy, you are bound to its terms whether or not you’ve read and understood them. Lessell says that familiarizing yourself with the kind of policy you have, and provisions contained within it, is critical to

understanding how legal fees might impact both the extent of coverage and any resulting judgements or settlements. “A policy could be an eroding or wasting limits policy, which means that the costs of defense deplete the policy limits,” Lessell says. “Other policies provide that defense costs are outside of the limits. This means that the costs and fees have no impact on the limits of coverage available to respond to a judgment or settlement. Either type of policy is fine, but if a professional has an eroding limit policy and did not realize, they may not have the appropriate coverage.” Because the nuances of this niche practice area might be difficult for professionals to understand, Lessell prides herself on being readily available for her clients and doing whatever she can to provide a top-quality defense. “The stakes are high because a professional’s reputation, and sometimes very livelihood, is at issue,” she says. “I know it sounds cheesy, but I can really empathize with that professional, and it is a source of motivation for me. I use a team approach with my clients — we are on the same team and working together to achieve the same goals. I want to work with them to figure out a solution that fits best for them.” FOR MATTERS RELATING TO IMMIGRATION LAW, CRISTIAN SILVA OF SILVA LAW FIRM The many complexities and technicalities of immigration law would be near impossible to navigate without the guidance of an experienced and knowledgeable attorney. Cristian Silva, a French, Spanish and English-speaking attorney who is himself an immigrant from Nicaragua, has more than a decade of experience working on employment-based immigration, family-based immigration and defensive litigation cases. Silva explains that employment-based immigration applies to foreign nationals who are recruited by employers seeking expertise not readily fulfilled by U.S. citizens. Familybased immigration deals with foreign nationals who are petitioned by relatives who are U.S. citizens, while defensive litigation immigration encompasses a broad range of issues, such as asylum and Special Immigration Juvenile Status, and is meant to provide relief from deportation. “The most common misconception is that every immigrant is afforded with a pathway to legal status such as legal permanent resident or U.S. citizenship status,” Silva says. “The truth is that immigration laws are quite narrow and exclude many persons from being able to immigrate to the U.S. legally. The sad part of

the U.S.’s current immigration system is that it’s easier to come to the U.S. illegally than it is to come legally.” Because immigration is personal to him, Silva approaches each client with empathy and compassion — especially in cases of family-based immigration, where the stakes are incredibly high for individuals who face separation from their families. “I know what many foreign nationals are going through and understand their reasons for wanting to immigrate to America; my family and I were once one of them,” Silva says. “It is an extremely difficult choice to leave one’s country, culture, language and belongings. Having lived as an immigrant and witnessed the struggles that my parents went through to survive and later thrive in America drives my motivation to help others who are in similar circumstances. I understand them. I empathize with them. I know their fears.” Even so, Silva says that anyone facing an immigration-related legal issue should consult several attorneys to find the best match for their needs and circumstances. “I recommend having a consultation with at least two different immigration lawyers; preferably three. Ask a lot of questions and pay close attention to each attorney’s responses,” Silva says. “An attorney who takes their time in answering your questions and makes sure you understand the process is someone who will have your best interest in mind.”

FOR MATTERS RELATING TO LGBTQ+ FAMILY LAW, ANDREA RUBIN OF STERNBERG, NACCARI & WHITE, LLC Starting a family is a big step for any couple, but LGBTQ+ families often face obstacles and nuances that do not typically apply to heterosexual couples. Andrea Rubin, herself a member of the LGBTQ+ community and a partner at Sternberg, Naccari & White, has focused her practice on LGBTQ+ adoption, child custody, child support and other domestic issues. “The laws were written with heterosexual people in mind, so sometimes LGBTQ+ community members need extra protections that they don’t necessarily realize,” Rubin says. “For example, many families believe that if both parents’ names are on a birth certificate, the second parent has all the rights of a heterosexual father. This is not the case. In LGBTQ+ families, the second parent must legally adopt the child for parental rights under the law.” Rubin says that fear of discrimination is sometimes a deterrent for LGBTQ+ couples who need to navigate the legal system before

starting a family, and for that reason, she strives to be visible and accessible for her clients. “It was only earlier this year that LGBTQ+ employees became protected under the law from being fired for being gay, so they’re looking for someone who’s sensitive to their needs when navigating those issues,” she says. “I want to be a beacon in my community and make my representation of LGBTQ+ families known so that anyone can find me when they need me.” When approaching a new case, Rubin strives to inspire confidence in her clients by demonstrating the extent of her knowledge and experience, setting expectations, and opening the lines of communications from the outset. “I think it’s important for them to know that I’m experienced with these cases, I have institutional knowledge of the court system as it relates to LGBTQ+ clients, and I make it a point to stay up to date on legal decisions around the state and country that could affect LGBTQ+ clients specifically,” she says. Most importantly, Rubin urges anyone taking on a legal challenge, be they LGBTQ+ or heterosexual, to contact an attorney right away in order to avoid any pitfalls that could become detrimental to accomplishing their goals. “Just make the phone call. Send the email,” she says. “You don’t have to navigate legal questions alone. Even if you’re not sure you need an attorney, we can help you figure that out, too.” FOR MATTERS RELATING TO DISCRIMINATION, MICHELLE CRAIG OF TRANSCENDENT LAW GROUP

SOMETIMES A SUPERVISOR TREATS EMPLOYEES DIFFERENTLY BECAUSE OF UNCONSCIOUS BIAS OR LEARNED BEHAVIOR. THAT IS WHAT TRAINING IS FOR. SOMETIMES A SUPERVISOR DISCRIMINATES BECAUSE HE OR SHE CAN GET AWAY WITH IT. THAT’S WHAT THE LAW IS FOR. - MICHELLE CRAIG

No business can be successful without strong relationships between the employer and employees, but what happens when an employee suspects they’ve been treated differently because of their race, religion, disabilities or other legally protected factors? The question is sometimes easier asked than answered, and Michelle Craig, Founder and CEO of Transcendent Law Group, says confusion often arises when employees are unable to distinguish differential treatment and legally actionable discrimination. “Despite what employees sometimes believe, an employer can treat employees differently for a ‘legitimate business reason,’” says Craig. “As a general rule, it is a bad business practice to treat people differently just because an employer wants to do so. It can be legally actionable discrimination if that discrimination is based on a legally protected reason, if the behavior fits the statute.”

Discrimination claims can occur under Federal and state law. Under Louisiana state law, unlawful discrimination occurs when an employee is treated differently on the basis of “race, color, religion, sex, disability, age, sickle cell trait, pregnancy, childbirth and related medical conditions,” Craig says. “Additionally, people come to me all of the time saying they are in a hostile work environment. They may, for instance, describe mean bosses or catty behavior. While this is bad for morale and bad for business, it typically will not create an actionable hostile work environment claim unless it is based on a protected characteristic and there are other factors.” Because of the extreme nuances present in such cases, Craig says it’s of utmost importance to let a professional navigate discrimination claims. The easiest way to avoid incidents of legally actionable discrimination is for employers to have sound human resources policies and procedures, train employees on those procedures, set Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) standards for their organizations and infuse them into the company culture — something Craig is happy to help any leader accomplish. “A lot goes into creating DEI responsive initiatives for my clients,” she says. “As an overview, I meet with the owners/employers and determine what their needs are. Do they want training because of a specific incident? Have they identified a systematic cultural or workplace issue that needs to be addressed? I then have honest conversations with the decision-makers about what they hope to achieve. Once we know the problems and the goals, then we develop a plan to implement.” No matter what the circumstances may be, Craig prides herself on being a resource for both employers and employees seeking to rectify workplace conflicts. “Sometimes a supervisor treats employees differently because of unconscious bias or learned behavior. That is what training is for. Sometimes a supervisor discriminates because he or she can get away with it. That’s what the law is for,” Craig says. “Practicing this type of law is one of the ways I feel like I am able to make the world a better place.” FOR MATTERS RELATING TO CRIMINAL DEFENSE, GREGORY CARTER OF THE G. CARTER LAW FIRM, LLC When someone is arrested — be it for misdemeanor charges, felonies, juvenile crimes or federal crimes — seeking representation from

an experienced criminal defense attorney can be the most influential factor in determining acquittal, case dismissal or charge reduction. Gregory Carter, who founded his private practice in 2011, says that when a person’s future is at stake, there’s no time to hesitate in seeking aggressive, strategic representation. “Speaking generally, if you are being questioned by a member of law enforcement, then you should have a criminal defense attorney with you,” Carter says. That rule, he says, applies to anyone, whether or not they’ve committed a crime. Even if the accused is innocent, an attorney can ensure their clients’ rights are being honored from start to finish — and if any rights have been violated, the outcome of the criminal case could be drastically altered. “A common misconception is that only guilty persons need a lawyer. This is absolutely not true,” Carter says. “The reason to retain a lawyer is to protect your rights. Law enforcement has no obligation to look out for your best interests, and even if you believe you are in the right, you can still be charged criminally.” Considering the disproportionately high carceral rates of Black Americans, taking on this kind of work and relentlessly advocating for his clients is personal for Carter, so much so that he makes himself available for free consultations 24/7. It’s his way of trying to restore hope and justice to underprivileged and vulnerable communities. “I believe that everyone deserves an equal chance at justice,” Carter says. “I understand that, historically, persons who look like me haven’t always been given that shot. I want to be part of changing that.” And because early intervention by a criminal defense attorney can help produce favorable judgements, Carter says there’s no harm in seeking a consultation, even if you’re not sure criminal defense will become necessary. “If you think you need a lawyer, then you probably do. You cannot go wrong by at least consulting a lawyer — it’s always in your best interests,” Carter says. “When searching out a lawyer, find someone you trust and someone who makes you comfortable. You are trusting your lawyer with your life, and you want to be comfortable that they are fighting for you.” FOR MATTERS RELATING TO FAMILY LAW, JEFFREY HOFFMAN OF LOWE, STEIN, HOFFMAN, ALLWEISS & HAUVER LLP When going through a divorce, seeking child support or custody, partitioning property or navigating any difficult family situation, it’s

natural that emotions run high — which is why Jeffrey Hoffman sees himself as not just a family law attorney, but also as a source of compassion and support for his clients. “Often, the issues involved in a family law case are very emotional and private; your client’s life could be in a state of chaos,” Hoffman says. “Many clients are scared and anxious due to the uncertainty of how their case will turn out. The key to helping your client feel more at ease is good and effective communication. Family lawyers are often more counselors than attorneys.” Hoffman says that a common source of stress for involved parties is the fear of prohibitive expenses, but family law proceedings do not necessarily have to become costly. For that reason, Hoffman enters each new case with an open mind, seeking first and foremost to reach an understanding with the other party’s attorney “to find creative paths to settlement” before moving a case to trial. “While there are several examples of divorces or child custody cases being incredibly expensive, most are not,” Hoffman says. “The key to reasonably managing family law cases is working together with the other side to reach agreements and stipulations, which will cut down on costly hearings and trials. Cases involving people focused on the children and co-parenting do not spend nearly as much money as those constantly fighting every issue.” Regardless of whether the case moves to trial, Hoffman’s ultimate goal in every situation is to help families find peace of mind as they move forward. It’s a passion that was instilled in him by his father, Mitchell Hoffman, who along with his partners founded what is now one of the largest family law firms in the state. “When they invited me to join the firm and work as a family law attorney, it was an easy decision,” Hoffman says. “One of the best aspects about practicing family law is that you get to know your clients on a personal level and see the direct impact this has on them and their families.” Hoffman advises anyone seeking a family law attorney to find someone “who is experienced and has a good reputation, but most importantly, someone that you feel you can trust, who will be honest with you, and who you believe will give your case the proper attention it deserves.”

EVEN IF YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT, YOU CAN STILL BE CHARGED CRIMINALLY. - GREGORY CARTER

THE KEY TO HELPING YOUR CLIENT FEEL MORE AT EASE IS GOOD AND EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION. FAMILY LAWYERS ARE OFTEN MORE COUNSELORS THAN ATTORNEYS. - JEFFREY HOFFMAN

TOP LAWYERS M

ost people hope not to need them, but when they do, they want the good ones on their side. To help with that we present our annual list of Top Lawyers. The list was prepared by Detroit-based Professional Research Services. ¶ PRS provided this explanation of its methodology: The voting was open to all licensed attorneys in New Orleans. They were asked which attorney, other than themselves, they would recommend in the New Orleans area. Each attorney was allowed to recommend up to three colleagues in each given legal specialty. Once the online nominations were complete, each nominee was carefully evaluated on the basis of the survey results, the legitimacy of their license and their current standing with the State Bar Association of Louisiana. Attorneys who received the highest number of votes in each specialty are reflected in the following list. ¶ As always when making professional services choices, second opinions are encouraged. In the end, you’re the judge.

Park Place Houston is remarkably green

With its endless strip shopping centers, freeways and urban sprawl, Houston may appear to most as just another concrete jungle. What may surprise many is that the nation’s fourth largest city is home to 580 parks, including two of the country’s expansive urban parks, Cullen Park and George Bush Park. In fact, the Space City ranks first among the nation’s most populous cities in total parkland acreage. And that number is only going to increase, which is great news during these pandemic times when having space to enjoy the great outdoors remains in great demand. New parks and greenspace developments are in the works this year, many being completed by the end of 2020. But you don’t have to wait until all those improvements happen. Here are a few unique outdoor places to enjoy this fall, along with some special events that allow for social distancing: Visitors can bike or hike along the 10-mile stretch of Buffalo Bayou, from Shepherd Drive through downtown into the East End and the Port of Houston Turning Basin. The waterfront was developed by the Buffalo Bayou Partnership and includes bike and boat rentals, public art, playgrounds, a dog park and numerous places to picnic and just enjoy the fall weather. If your speed runs higher, Discovery Green in the heart of downtown Houston offers a variety of fitness classes, from Hatha yoga and Tai Chi to belly dancing. The park contains numerous dining options with outdoor seating, a Flea by Night market selling both collectibles and eclectic items and special holiday events such as ice skating. Be sure to check the website for updates and possible cancellations due to COVID-19. The 30-acre Rockstar Energy Bike Park offers numerous attractions for the bike lover, such as a world-class BMX track, BMX Super Cross track, and a track for children. It’s also home to the largest free skate park in North America at 78,000 square feet, and the second largest in the world.

STAY

In addition to being touted as a green city, Houston has also gone to the dogs, which is great news for outdoor lovers with canines in tow. Dog lovers may check into the JW Marriott and Four Seasons Hotel Houston where pets are greeted with treats and toys and Discovery Green’s dog runs and greenspace is only a short walk away — with leashes, of course. The historic Hotel Icon welcomes dogs and it’s located downtown near Market Square Park with its dog runs and dining options. Downtown’s Hyatt Regency features an indoor “Dog Walk” with dog bowls and beds.

EAT

To enjoy the balmy fall weather, in addition to avoiding crowds, try the upstairs balcony at The Grove in Discovery Green. This eco-friendly restaurant serves up local and sustainable dishes and signature cocktails as well as features a rooftop herb garden and a great view of downtown Houston. For more casual dining and a waterfront view, visit the park’s Lake House.

GROWING PAINS

I’ve worked in the magazine world for quite a while now, and I know you’ve got to plan several months out. I always found it slightly jarring to be working on a Christmas issue while everyone in the real world was planning Halloween costumes or staging a pink-and-red Valentine’s Day cover while the world around you is decked out in red and green … but I got used to living on “magazine time.” Yes, I was superstitious enough that it always made me nervous to be putting out cutesy Halloween copy in the thick of hurricane season, always secretly worrying that our reality could look truly scary by the time Oct. 31 rolled around – in a way that had nothing to do with ghosts, goblins and witches. But overall, I made my peace with the fact that my work life would always be about two months ahead of my real life. (It’s not so different from making my peace with the fact that in my professional life, I would extol the virtues of vibrant wallpaper in the powder room or cranberry chutney in a cut-glass bowl … while in my actual home, my bathroom roof was leaking and I was eating my kids’ leftover pasta out of plastic bowls with my fingers before loading them in the dishwasher.) In this new reality of 2020, though, I find it hard to feel comfortable with anything I write with an eye toward the future. Who even knows anymore what’s just around the corner? The things I thought I could count on as safe topics this time of year– Thanksgiving, the election, school holiday pageants – are all big unknowns. By the time you

into the next month and beyond: I am thankful. For my health, for my family, for my city – safe yet again after a nail-biting hurricane season. Whether things are inching back toward normal or sliding back into isolation, I am grateful to have my husband and my kids with me, every day, and grateful to have a roof over our heads (even if it leaks). I am lucky to have a job I adore and that brings me joy and gives me purpose, whether I do it from home or from my office. And even if I can’t welcome them into my home this holiday season, I am blessed beyond words to count my parents and my in-laws as not only family, but also true friends. Ultimately, this crazy, tumultuous year has been a good lesson in the fact that nothing is ever certain, but that you can always find something to be thankful for. The time my father spent in the hospital made me realize how much I’d been taking him for granted. Not being able to hug people made me realize how important human touch can be. And, of course, the months of home-schooling made me realize how incredible teachers are. So now, whatever form Thanksgiving takes this year, I know that it will have extra meaning. I hope that all of you, wherever you are and whatever your holiday table might look like this year, are your Thanksgiving menu decided equally thankful and blessed. … OR you will be planIf nothing else, the end ning a very scaled-down For more Eve of 2020 is in sight, and version of the holiday check out her blog it will be 2021 before we “Joie d’Eve” on with only the members Tuesday mornings at know it.

SUSAN ZACKIN Party plan ahead with Z Event Company

oliday entertaining is sure to look a little different this year. Large events have been curtailed and small-scale, personalized gatherings have become the order of the day. Whether working with an event planner or handling the details yourself, Susan Zackin, owner of Z Event Company, offers the following guidelines for honoring holiday traditions while social distancing. To begin, Zackin suggests visiting sites like Pinterest, Instagram and Partyslate.com for inspiration. Next, she advises making a guest list, as the number of people will determine whether you want to hire a planner, choice of venue, food and beverages. She notes that many people opt for DIY plans to save money but says the savings may be minimal in terms of time and stress. “When you want to be a guest at your own party, hire a planner,” she advises.

Family heirlooms, mix-and-match tablewares, and centerpieces made with fruits, vegetables or succulents also make an impression without breaking the bank. While food and beverages are often the largest entertaining expense, good food comes in a variety of price points. “If you’re on a budget, don’t serve prime beef,” says Zackin. Instead, she recommends a menu of comfort food (a popular trend), locally sourced foods and even meal kits offered by local restaurants and grocery stores. Zackin adds that individual plates with assorted tastings, appetizers in individual containers, and food stations with one attendant provide an extra measure of security in a time where handwashing and social distancing are paramount. “We’ve all had to make concessions,” says Zackin. “Cherish the people you can be around and entertain in the most special way you can.”

Food Flip Mawi Tortillas expands

t the start of 2020, Mawi Tortillas was a company on the move. A successful family enterprise spearheaded by chef Will Avelar, Mawi’s focus was purveying fragrant corn tortillas served in an impressive collection of New Orleans restaurants. In January they were preparing to level up from their initial Metairie location to a larger production facility in Kenner to increase capacity. Then, well, you know what happened. Like most businesses, the Avelars had to pivot to find their footing in this new landscape. With restaurants closed and wholesale accounts evaporating, they settled on a hybrid model. They equipped their original Metairie location with a full kitchen and retail cases, flipping it into a takeout spot and specialty food store. “We put in a flattop, stove and fryer to do lunches and hot plates,” Avelar said. “In our grocery section, we sell imported cheeses and make fresh salsa, dips and also fry chips to go along with it all.” A visit there reveals a counter-service operation tucked into a strip mall off West Esplanade Avenue. The storefront is suffused with the delicious aroma of fried corn and tacos sizzling on a griddle. Customers queue up to purchase fresh tortillas by the pound as well as Honduran and El Salvadorian cheeses, salsa, fresh crema and more. Coupled with a strong social media presence detailing the shifting menus and hours, this new model soon proved a success. Then the introduction of the Birria Taco kicked it into overdrive. A compulsively delicious amalgam of braised beef, garlic, melted Oaxacan cheese and corn tortilla, the Birrias are griddled on the flattop and served with a portion container of braising liquid for dunking between bites. “I just had one today. I forgot how crazy-delicious those tacos are,” Avelar said. Per Avelar, whose roots are in El Salvador, Birria actually hails from Mexico, where it traditionally featured braised goat.“But places in LA and Houston swapped goat for beef and started putting it into tortillas with some nice melty cheese,” he said. “Then they used the braising liquid as a dipping au jus. You have the leftover

BIRRIA

stock, right, so why not make a broth out of it?” A chef by trade with fine dining cred, Avelar tailors his Birria to reflect regional tastes. “I use more tomato, bell pepper, onion, and fresh herbs like parsley and cilantro. It is also extremely heavy on the garlic. It is more approachable to people who live here as the flavors are familiar but just served in a new kind of dish,” he explained. Along with the Birria tacos (only offered a few days a week, so check in advance) other options include a variation, Birria Quesadillas, which swap corn tortillas for flour and feature crema and pico de gallo. Pupusas are also offered – try the Mixta, with chicharrons and cheese – or the Revuelta, with everything. Interesting case items also include the Quesadilla Salvadorena. Different from the quesadilla most diners will be familiar with, this one is akin to a savory pastry flavored with Morolique, a salty, crumbly, Nicaraguan cheese. Desserts, including Tres Leches, are provided by Pastry Chef Jeremy Fogg, who recently left Emeril’s restaurant group to open his own business Mae’s Bakeshop. Mawi’s hours are limited and the menu changes frequently; their social media feed is the best source of current info. Order ahead when possible as walk-up lines can be long and the birria tacos move fast. Mawi Tortillas, 5050 W. Esplanade Ave., Suite C, Metairie, 644-2624.

ABOUT THE CHEF Mawi Tortillas is a family enterprise headed up by Will Avelar and his father Carlos along with Will’s brothers Fernando and Raul. A chef by trade, Will spent 15 years with Emeril Lagasse’s restaurant group, eventually working his way up to chef de cuisine at Meril. The Avelars purchased a pre-existing Tortilla company and relaunched it as Mawi, employing Will’s fine dining chops and sourcing to elevate the brand. The result is a boutique Central American specialty food store and tortilla hub, adding yet another dimension to the local culinary landscape.

Bowled Over Savory soup made to impress

Everyone needs an impressive soup under your belt, and nothing says “I’m about to impress the hell out of my guests” better than a good bisque. In some cities they call it “chowder,” but in New Orleans, when we make a super-rich and creamy, full of flavor, thick soup, we call it “bisque”. It can go either way, appetizer or entrée; it’s all about how you put it together. This recipe is an example of bisque as an entrée. Partner it with good hot bread and a salad and, honey, you are SA-TIS-FIED. As an appetizer, I suggest serving casually in a mug or small cup. Honestly, I feel like this could be a new contender on the family “must haves” list for Thanksgiving. Trust me, you probably won’t have any leftovers, which is a big A+ for the cook!

Begin by prepping the sweet potatoes for the hash so it can be done when you’re finishing up with the bisque.

NOVEMBER 2020

Garnish soup with sweet potato hash, to your taste and preference, and serve skewers on the side.

3 For the bisque, you’re looking for a smooth creamy soup kind of feel. (But it’s also up to you if you want it to be a little chunky.)

4 For a plant-based bisque option, substitute the chicken stock for veggie stock, plant butter for regular butter and use non-dairy heavy cream.

SWEET POTATO BISQUE WITH CURRIED CHICKEN SKEWERS

Sweet Potato Bisque 2 pounds chunky chopped sweet potatoes 1 white onion, chopped 1 bundle of green onions, chopped 3-4 cloves of garlic, chopped 4 cups of chicken stock 7 cups of heavy cream 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika All-purpose seasoning to taste EVOO as needed 1. Sauté the onions, green onions, and garlic in EVOO until they’re a nice caramelized color. 2. Add sweet potatoes and 4 cups of stock; let that simmer uncovered until the potatoes are nice and soft. 3. Add heavy cream, then begin to emulsify with a hand blender or transfer it to a food processor. 4. Once it’s in the sweet spot, which is really creamy, season it to taste with the smoked paprika and all-purpose seasoning blend. 5. Set aside. Sweet Potato Hash Garnish 1 pound chopped sweet potatoes 1 can of corn, drained 2 tablespoons of minced onion 2 tablespoons of minced green onion 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro 1. Coat the sweet potatoes with EVOO and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 30 mins at 425 degrees. Remove from the oven and set aside. 2. Add two tablespoons of butter to a pan and sauté the onions, green onions, and corn until softened. Add cilantro and combine. 3. Add roasted sweet potatoes to the pan and combine gently. Set aside to garnish soup. Curried Chicken Skewers 3 boneless chicken breasts 3-4 tablespoons of curry seasoning 6 tablespoons of salted butter 3 teaspoons of curry seasoning (for curry butter garnish) Salt and pepper

1. Season the chicken with 3-4 tablespoons curry seasoning (to your taste), and salt and pepper on both sides. 2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet and sauté chicken until cooked through. 3. Slice the chicken into hearty chunks to make putting it on a skewer or stick easier. 4. To make the curry butter, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and mix in 3 teaspoons of curry seasoning, until well combined. 5. Drizzle that butter over the chicken and you’re done!

2 Choose an Irish whiskey like Tullamore which is not too sweet.

3 Chili liqueur is made from Poblano chilis, which yield a smoky, not too spicy, liqueur.

Andrea Heming’s “The Other Redhead,” a riff on the classic Manhattan, was created when she worked with redhead Kimberly Patton Bragg. Customers would ask if she was Kim and she’d say “No, I’m the other redhead.” The drink is a great fall warmer and easy to put together. When COVID-19 disrupted the service industry, Heming helped launch Culture Aid Nola(www.cultureaidnola. org/). What began with customers dropping off food for needy workers has supplied over 1.5 tons of food to those in need. Heming has now returned to her previous professional life, working with the Coast Guard and though she isn’t mixing drinks for work anymore (no alcohol offshore,) she remains the default bartender for friends’ functions. “The Other Redhead” is always popular there.

Senior Care W

hile the pandemic has disrupted everyone’s lives, perhaps the most affected population is our senior community, older adults who find themselves both more at risk and more prone to isolation. Area seniors deserve added support and love during these difficult times, and whether you’re caring for a loved one in your own home or assisting in their care elsewhere, it’s important to understand the necessary precautions for safety while seeking the best ways to help them maintain a healthy lifestyle and independence. IN-HOME CARE Dependable In-Home Care Aging in the home has always been the preferred choice for the elderly— now it is also one of the safest. “Exposure to fewer people today is paramount,” says Joni FriedmannLagasse, Owner of Dependable In-Home Care. “That doesn’t mean you cannot safely bring in home care.” An experienced, professional caregiver understands and uses universal precautions such as wearing a mask and washing hands, but it is the families who must be vigilant concerning others in the home, especially younger family members. Everyone should be observing these simple precautions. With over 100,000 successful referrals over 50 years, Dependable In-Home Care holds high standards for referring caregivers. It is the only nationally accredited caregiver registry in the region. They help you find the right caregiver who can provide everything from total care to basic supervision, help with daily activities, meal prep, transportation plus bathing, dressing, and mobility assistance. For more information on the company’s vetted pool of nearly 100 experienced caregivers, visit dependablecare.net. Personal HomeCare Services When you can’t be at home to care for your family member, you want peace of mind knowing that the person who is there will treat your loved one with the same level of care and concern that you would. At Personal HomeCare Services, your family is their family. For over 22 years Personal HomeCare Services has been providing 24/7, in-home companion care.

Best of the Bunch

ot much good can be said about 2020, but I will concede this, it was a good year for bananas, especially those grown in the backyard, maybe too good. When we first bought the house, I knew there was a banana tree in the back. What I did not know, until after Katrina blew down a neighbor’s overhanging pine tree, was that there were two more hidden by the back fence. (Technically they are not trees but very tall plants.) The fallen pine opened more sunlight. Now, the three trees combined comprise a banana factory. There are bunches and bunches of bunches seemingly popping from the branches throughout the year. A banana bunch can be lethal if not heeded. They are heavy, and when their time comes, they can bring a section of the tree crashing on the ground, or a vehicle, causing a huge cleanup, which usually involves swinging a machete. The wise banana grower chops off the bunch before its drops. On this chore, I sometimes fail, though I am proud to be the only person on the block to have a machete. After removing the bunch, the next question is what to do with it, as most people do not have immediate need for 60 or so green ripening bananas. This year I have engaged nature to do the work by providing the

NOVEMBER 2020

sunlight once I put the bunch on an outside chair, to let the ripening begin. Here again caution is needed. If the bunch is not tended to, within a few days various critters start attacking the stalk, and what they do not get, the fruit flies will. Usually I am able to salvage maybe four or five consumable ripened yellow bananas per bunch. I will say this about my backyard bananas: For all the trouble they cause, they are genuinely good. These are not those scientifically grown storebought bananas developed to last long on the shelf, but a natural Central American species called a “burro banana.” The fruit are shorter and plumper than the regular kind and have an amazing taste with a touch of lemon flavor. The bananas are ripe as they turn yellow, but the taste intensifies as they develop black spots. When almost totally black, the taste is at its fullest. The problem from the perspective of being neighborly is trying to offer someone black bananas. The fruit are probably most acceptable when peeled in the kitchen and plopped into a daiquiri. Burro bananas are supposedly low in fat and calories and high in Vitamin C, B and fiber. And they are also good for building muscles—if you have to swing the machete enough.
