Although the service industry is the primary economic engine of New Orleans, the stories of these professionals are largely untold. How Do You Like Your Eggs? is a series of unstructured interviews and dialogues with service industry professionals hosted by local chefs and producers, Jake Lewis and…
Neil Gernon invited the gang out for a sleep over and wine guzzling on the bucolical and alcoholical grounds of the Wild Bush Farm & Vineyard. There's usually music, and our visit was no exception. Neil likes his eggs just like Lorenzo! No surprise really for two old buds. This is our season finale, and the most self-indulgent episode of Eggs? yet. Whatever, I don't wanna hear it. We earned it. Catch!
Since Caveman Times, Lucky Dog has held exclusive rights to sell food from vendor carts in the French Quarter. Today, we feature a filmmaker who wants to change this with his movie Dirty Dogs. Meet Adrian Sosebee! He's a sunny side up man on a mission. Don't worry bud, we'll handle the fact checking. Getcha hotdogs ova here!!
If you aren't feeling particularly entertained right now, it's because you haven't heard of Harry Mayronne. A scrambled egg man, Harry talks puppets, piano, plays, & nearly everything in between. Including multiple stints at famous French Quarter fine dining establishments. Mise en place!
Bella Blue is a burlesque dancer and teacher here in town. She likes a hard scramble, and dishes up heaping plates of scene history. Nomnomnomnom…
There's way too much Cristina to even bother mentioning it here, so listen up! This one's got some audio gremlins, but we were still working on logistics. Sorry about that, lovely listeners. I guess we should say that she likes them over easy, at least. Bon appetite!
Holy shit, ya'll, we're officially back with the reboot! Welcome Lorenzo Reef as host, and Chelsey Salisbury as our first guest! She's the market representative for Still Austin and an over medium gal who doesn't like goats. Order up!
The Good Trouble Network are a coalition of service industry careerists who have decided to put their professional skills to work for the furthering of human rights causes.
Holy crap guys, we are so happy to be back in the saddle. It’s been such a long time, and the rust on Asher Griffith’s hosting chops is really apparent. However, Hannah Burger is a polished jeweler, realtor and cocktail waiter. She has also discovered the perfect recipe for fried eggs, and she shares.
Leah Britton is a haircuttress at legendary Fifi Mahoney’s, works front of house at iconic Cafe Degas, and recently has taken on some sort of administrative duties with the newly formed Sweet Shrimp T-Shirt Company.
Karen Wallace is a hairdoist at Paris Parker Salon, a mother, a former co-frontman of one of New Orleans’s most dearly departed bands, Jean-Eric and also a dear friend of ours.
Alyssa Hernandez, an Eggs alumnus, is still No Hunger Nola and perhaps so much more these days. We are welcoming her back during these trying times to tell us about how she is coping and caring about her community.
Grace and Sierra are the Cattail Cooks, a one-time catering company focused on the stories that can be told by your food and by you about your food turned completely to community service. Delicious, nutritious and conscientious! Mangé! Mangé!
Waffle’s anyone? Have an egg on top! Or with your rice. Or however you like them. But get a load of Sinnidra Taylor and everything she serves up this evening!
Erica Rae Robinet is a doula and a newly minted shade-tree baker. You can get a cookie subscription from her. A subscription to freshly baked cookies. Do that. And feast your ears upon this delicious episode’s NPR-quality-audio ass, Eggheads! We got babies and baked goods, babies. If it’s got a egg in it, you know we’re gonna serve it up.
Lacey Ellinwood is a librarian, an ex-service industry professional (like anybody who has two degrees), and the oldest broad ever to be in a punk band. She might not know a lot about anything, but she knows a little about everything, which sort of makes her an analog Google. I mean, a librarian. She also likes her eggs over medium, but she won’t get them that way from us in the time of COVID. Sorry. We talk about Katrina, Corona, Prague and Pedals. Come and get it!
Alex is a long time service industry professional and New Orleanian ex-pat living in Seattle. He’s weathering the pandemic nicely right now thanks to the fact that he knows the value of a dollar. More specifically, because he knows how much fifteen dollars an hour for a front of house employee is worth. Get ready for some initial scuttlebutt about bird rape. You have been warned.
Bobby Linn’s been a translator and interrogator in the American army in Korea, a rice and soybean farmer, a principle of a school, and our grandfather. He’s inconvenienced by the corona virus pandemic, but undeterred by his disabled veteran status. You don’t hear much about it in this episode, but the man eats a lot of eggs, too. And he hates maggots.
The Wellness Director for the Broadmoore Improvement Association joins Asher Griffith today, all alone and by himself. He cuts his teeth on interviewing, and she effortlessly (and perhaps unwittingly) adds to the format of the show! There's a lot about stoicism, and there's a lot about maggots, but there's a LOT about what your neighborhood can do for you, and what you can do for your neighborhood.
“Make all you can; can all you make,” I once heard a pastor quip during a sermon. That was never better advice than when it comes to food security. Cuz what’s the best way to eliminate food waste? Eat it, of course! But first, give it to No Hunger NOLA’s Alyssa Hernandez and Matt Holland who will make it into a pickle or some jam. We may have had Matt talking into the back of the microphone, but that didn’t stop us from noticing he had a great voice for radio. Miraculously, he’s also the first guest to make that joke. Yeah, that joke. Get ready for ASMR and a profound absence of Jake. Bon appetite!
Local celebrity, Lichelle Gibson, is a mother of four, a student at Delgado and a barista at Hey! Cafe on the Lafitte Greenway. She's our first over easy guest, and she's a really big fan of Jake's cooking. Get ready for seconds and some uncharacteristically heavy subject matter for our show. It's about time, says we. Order up!
Charlie is a Kill-em-with-Kindness kinda critter who likes her eggs whipped into a cheesy omelet to fuel long, grueling shifts at everyone’s favorite bar, Pal’s Lounge and Mixed Drinks! We’re back after a long hiatus, and so glad to be here. We’ll have episodes for you for the next few weeks and then we’ll be back on schedulish. Eggs for you! Happy Carnival!
Sierra and Grace are cooks and cofounders of Cattail Cooks, which is not quite a catering company, but their ingredients are thoughtfully prepared from locally sourced delicacies. When it comes to eggs, they like surprises, and what's more surprising than a pre-prepared soft boiled egg with fresh sourdough?
Jared Quinn likes his eggs over hard, primarily for the chef's convenience. This is the story of a career chef stepping out of the kitchen, and of why Jake is afraid to visit Waffle House.
Liz lies about her lack of cats and websites, but speaks the truth when it comes to eggs: she likes them all ways, and realizes that there is an egg for every occasion. Tonite, she’ll have them scrambled. Of the interviews we’ve had so far, this one may be the most messagey, but, ever interested in balance, we have also brought you our most stabby.
Ozwaldo is a classic scrambled man who understands the Concept of Squares, maybe even better than you, Susan.
