Every city has its unique places. Restaurants or food shops that can't be duplicated anywhere else. New York has Katz's and Russ & Daughters. Legends. New Orleans: Galatoire's and Commander's Palace. Now, Chicago has some unique places, such as Topolobampo, Alinea and Arun's. Coming up on this week's show, we talk with Jenner Tomaska of Next and Phillip Fos of El Ideas, two chefs in Chicago whom oversee startlingly original concepts, you are unlikely to find in any other city in America.
On this week s show, we celebrate Commander s Palace and its visionary matriarch Ella Brennan, whose highly anticipated memoir is coming out next week. First, we speak with Ella s daughter and co author, Ti Adelaide Martin. Born into her family s restaurant dynasty, Ti knows all too well her mother s revered place both in the food industry and in New Orleans history. Aware of the fascination with her mother s life story, Ti wrote down a number of stories about Ella over the years that she eventually incorporated into the memoir. Next, we speak to the book s illustrator, Tim Trapolin, whose line drawings complement each chapter in the book. Tim s work has long graced menus as well as walls within Brennan family restaurants and he also illustrated Ti and Lally s book, In The Land of Cocktails. Tim discusses his involvement with the project and what it was like to depict some of Ella s most harrowing moments using pen and ink. Then, the Brennan family tells the story of Ella Brennan s culinary impact in their own words, from Ella s coming of age to her most transformative moments at Commander s Palace. We d like to congratulate Miss Ella and the entire Brennan family for having the vision and determination to forever change America s food scene, and to bravely tell her amazing story in the new memoir, Miss Ella of Commander s Palace, available September 13 in bookstores everywhere.
Beyond Bourbon Street is the podcast where we explore the food, music, places, people and events that make New Orleans unique. Whether you are planning a trip, currently living in New Orleans or simply wanting a taste of the Crescent City from wherever you are, you’ve come to the right place! The inspiration for this episode came from the upcoming Rock n Roll New Orleans marathon, but even if you are not a runner this is still for you. I was thinking about how I could give runners a preview of the 26.2-mile course and still make it interesting for everyone else. I realized a marathon that wanders through the city would be a good, semi-random way to offer a glimpse into New Orleans from a unique perspective. We’ll use the actual race course as our canvas, and meander off the path to explore interesting places they appear on our map. Along the way, we’ll discover neighborhoods, events, and history. The more I got into this one the more I enjoyed uncovering things along the route. I think you’ll find lots of insider tips and places to explore so sit back and enjoy as I take you on a run through New Orleans! Start to Mile 8: One Shell Square, the Garden District and Uptown New Orleans, streetcars, two World's Fairs, National WWII Museum, cemeteries, and places to eat including Commander's Palace. Miles 9-10: French Quarter, Cafe du Monde, museums, the Old US Mint. Miles 11-14: Esplanade Avenue, Edgar Degas, Carrollton Avenue and more. Mies 15-18: Old grove oak trees in City Park, Bayou St. John, and Old Spanish Fort. Miles 19-22: Lake Pontchartrain, Katrina and the damaged levees, Pontchartrain Beach Amusement Park. Miles 23- Finish Line: City Park, including the various attractions. Lagniappe: Multiple options for spectators including the best places to watch the marathon, and helpful tips for what to do and eat while you're waiting for your favorite marathoner!
