What we covered in this episode Chef Michael Gulotta explains the reasons why he shut down early March his restaurants in New Orleans at the start of the pandemic. He shares how different the impact of this pandemic is compared the situation caused by the hurricane Katrina back in 2005. Chef Michael Gulotta describes his different restaurant concepts: MOPHO, MAYPOP, Tana, and MOPHO is a restaurant that is a New Orleans neighborhood spot first, but inspired by Vietnamese cuisine. Chef Michael Gulotta grew up with a lot of Vietnamese friends and he loved the way their families took the hardy dishes of New Orleans and how they brighten them with, with all of ginger, lemon grass and lime leaves. He describes how the food at MOPHO evolved through the years. As they say, it is not a Vietnamese restaurant. They are a New Orleans restaurant inspired by Vietnamese cuisine. Our food is an evolution of a traditional cuisine. We're trying to evolve the traditional Vietnamese cuisine here in New Orleans. The cuisine at MAYPOP melds the Mekong Delta with the Mississippi Delta. So it pulls from all of my training, pasta making and charcuterie from Chef Michael Gulotta’s time in Northern Italy and in Germany, but then it blends in with all of the Mekong Delta. At MAYPOP there's Laotian cuisine, there's Thai cuisine, there's Vietnamese cuisine. Chef Michael Gulotta explains how the trip that he took with his Chef de Cuisine Paul Chell to Southeast Asia influenced some of the dishes at his restaurants. Early on in his career, he spent time in Northern Italy and in Germany. About the same time that he worked for Chef John Besh. Chef Michael Gulotta revisit his time spent in Europe and what he learned from it. He shares his time at restaurant August wit Chef John Besh. Series of rapid-fire questions.

I think there's so many facets. There's so many different ways for a dish to come about. I have never been able to settle on a single way because I try to keep things seasonal. Sometimes it's me sitting down just with whatever. My local farmers will send me their produce lists and I'll try to go through there and figure out what to do. But also sometimes I'll eat something at a friend's restaurant or out, travel and eat something. And I'm like, wow, this inspires me to do my own take on this. Sometimes it is a food memory. Like I'll remember something that I've had and I'm like, man, I really love this dish when I had it. I think we should do a play on that at the restaurant. But also a lot of that is tempered with what customers want. The customer has to crave what you're putting on the plate. The customer has to be excited about it. And so a lot of that comes into play too. Sometimes I based dishes off of what I think the customer wants. And then I add my inspiration to it.

Newly christened Outstanding Pastry Chef in America by the James Beard Foundation, Kelly Fields of Willa Jean in New Orleans, credits a sassy, sarcastic non-cook as being her champion, her savior and her inspiration. Her grandmother, after whom her restaurant is named, supported her when she came out, and encouraged her to pursue other choices that were not popular with her Southern family. Before launching her restaurant, Fields worked with some of America's beloved chefs including Susan Spicer and Shuna Lydon as well as John Besh, a chef once adored, now reviled, as a result of #MeToo allegations. On this episode of Speaking Broadly, listen in to hear Fields' thoughts on mentors, #MeToo, and making a perfect dough. Want to stay up to date on the latest Speaking Broadly episodes?

Diego Galicia and Rico Torres are successfully drawing the line in the sand between Mexican gastronomy and Tex-Mex cuisine. Every 45 days they change up the menu at the award-winning San Antonio restaurant Mixtli in an effort to educate and entertain diners. Andrew Friedman interviews the duo. Diego Galicia was born in Toluca, Mexico in 1984. He studied psychology at The University of Texas at San Antonio a few years before graduating from The Culinary Institute of America. While a student at the CIA, he was employed at Restaurant Lüke, owned by Chef John Besh, and a local french bakery where he did Sunday brunch. Weekday mornings, he would do service at Patty Lou's at the Olmos Pharmacy. Diego has had the opportunity of working back in his native Mexico at Azul Condesa, owned by renowned Chef Ricardo Munoz, and stints at Michelin starred restaurants Atelier Crenn in San Francisco and Moto in Chicago. Mixtli is a very personal and intimate project that reflects Diego's love and passion for his native country. Rico Torres was born in El Paso, Texas. Early on, he was immersed in the heritage of Zacatecas and greater Mexico, both in travel and through daily life. In 2013, Torres opened Mixtli with Chef Diego Galicia and has continued to dedicate himself to his craft. Each time a new menu concept is developed for Mixtli, Torres researches for hours at the University of Texas at San Antonio’s library, where he has a special partnership and is able to review historic Mexican cookbooks and recipes for inspiration.

Since the Times-Picayune broke the news about sexual harassment allegations against New Orleans chef John Besh last fall, the restaurant industry has had to take a hard look at the bad behavior it’s tacitly allowed for years. There are many women in the industry actively trying to make the workplace safer and more equitable for everyone. Hear how an artist, editor, and restaurateur joined forces to create a poster to battle sexual harassment and how a digital directory is building equitability at food events, in publications, and beyond.

January 27, 2018 (The Whole City Petty) Hosts: DC PauL, Martin "Bats" Bradford, Malik Bartholomew, & J. Steel Engineer: DJ Mastermind Producer: Brian Egland Guests: CASME' & Chef Byron Bradley Topics: Everybody in New Orleans has different experiences. DC PauL and TheMisBelief CoHosts' New Orleans experience bring them into contact with people from so many different walks of life doing so many different things. For example a Facebook post of fried catfish stuffed with Jambalaya led DC, Malik, and DJ Mastermind to Pretty B's Home Cooking to buy a plate. Looking as good as it looked in the post they couldn't wait to drive back to eat it, and luckily they were with Malik, knower of all things New Orleans, who suggested they stop by the Community Commitment Education Center that was nearby. Once inside the three of them had an experience they were not expecting, being greeted with food that were original recipes, previewing a huge art collection, touring the facility that had impressively intriguing features, and meeting a man so interesting he is one of this episode's guest. TheMisBelief RadioShow is about exposing someone else to our experiences, so tune in and experience it for yourself. Musical artist and community leader CASME' joins the CoHosts and discusses her musical journey that moved her to Nashville and Atlanta singing background and writing for big musical names of varying genres which has now influenced her “gumbo” sound in her own original music. She also talks about her current projects which include community outreach for the unfortunate and often forgotten with her own CASME' Cares organization, competing on the television program Sing Like A Star, and inking a deal with the Congo Network to star in a Trap Musical. We are then joined by Chef Byron Bradley Jr. who teaches a cooking class at the Community Commitment Education Center and was able to offer DC, Malik, and DJ Mastermind his original created Breakfast Pear upon their impromptu visit. Chef Byron is also the John Besh 2015 Chef's Move! scholarship recipient which lead to him being introduced to Leah Chase, working in her kitchen, and being a leader in the team that is going to revamp the Dooky Chase's Restaurant. In addition to cooking Chef Byron is starting his own Mardi Gras Krewe, the Krewe of Cats, which will be a full social and pleasure club. We run it about what's going on with the "Forever Lee Circle" beads, Quess Moore's resolution to it all, what has to happen to make Mister Bats swiggle, is he joining the Marvel universe, DC feeling like the Mardi Gras grinch, J. Steel's dad being the plug for the Dong Phuong king cakes, the $50,000 unclaimed Power Ball ticket in Slidell, and a whole lot more of wuts going on #outchea, a sankofa session in honor of Alice Ruth Moore Dunbar Nelson, and #thatactorguy Mister Bats is slapping Mobile, Alabama with the Dat Neck this week for being petty and incorrect.

Kitchen Work. With Badass Women. Welcome to a very special episode! In this season of gratitude, I'm feeling very grateful for Richmond's Fire, Flour, & Fork festival. Not only did it land me my dream podcast guest, Gabrielle Hamilton (episode up now!), but I was asked to moderate a Women in Food panel with some of the top names in our industry. Women in Food. Every festival seems to do this. It's not like when you sign up for your breakout sessions you see a panel called, Men in Food. Is it necessary? Has the conversation been exhausted? Yes and no. As you will hear in this episode recorded just two weeks ago all of our panelists, while somewhat tired of being asked the same questions, feel the conversation must continue, particularly in light of the recent allegations against chefs like John Besh. Who are our panelists? Chef Joy Crump of FoodE and Mercantile in Fredericksburg, Virginia and Season 12 of Top Chef contestant, Kerry Diamond of Cherry Bombe, the new Cherry Bombe cookbook, and Radio Cherry Bombe, Chef Kristen Kish, Season 10 winner of Top Chef and author of the cookbook, Kristen Kish Cooking: Recipes and Techniques, and Chef Jessica Wilson, who will open her restaurant Grace in the Chimborazo neighborhood of Richmond, Virginia next spring. We discuss the dynamic between men and women in the kitchen, the disparity between gender images projected by the industry and the market's expectations, recipe development, core values and goals, sexual harassment, and much much more. As I said in my last episode, so much happens when you choose to just show up for your life. Enjoy! Speakers you will hear in this episode: Joy Crump Joy is the co-owner and Executive Chef of FOODE and Mercantile in Fredericksburg, Virginia. A graduate of the Art Institute of Atlanta’s Culinary Arts program, Joy specializes in researching and preparing locally grown, and organic foods. Her career began in Los Angeles working as the caterer and event planner for the President of Capitol Records. At the same time, she worked on private events for Warner Bros. Television. In 2005, Joy relocated to Atlanta where she studied under Chef Bradley Rouse, head chef for The Atlanta Hawks while working on her degree. After graduation, Joy began cooking at Woodfire Grill as an apprentice to Chef Micahel Tuohy. Joy appeared in Season 12 of Top Chef last fall and her signature Chicken & Waffles won the Virginia is for Lovers Culinary Madness Challenge in April. Kerry Diamond Kerry is the co-founder of Cherry Bombe, an independent, bi-annual magazine examining the inexplicably intertwined worlds of food and fashion and host of the weekly Radio Cherry Bombe podcast. Kerry has worked for Women’s Wear Daily, Harper’s Bazaar, Lancome, and Coach just to name a few. After falling in love with a chef, she helped him open 3 restaurants, all in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. Cherry Bombe the cookbook is a collection of recipes and stories from 100 of the most creative and inspiring women in food today. Kristen Kish Kristen was born in Seoul, South Korea, adopted at the age of 4 months, and grew up in Michigan. After attending Le Cordon Bleu in Chicago, she worked for Michelin star chef Guy Martin of Le Grand Véfour at his Boston restaurant. She then worked for Barbara Lynch in Boston, first at Stir, and then at Menton, a Relais Chateaux restaurant which she ran when she was 29. Barbara became a mentor, suggesting she might want to audition for Top Chef. She did, winning Season 10. Kristen has co-hosted the series 36 Hours on The Travel Channel and her first cookbook, Kristen Kish Cooking, is a celebration of her taste buds, focusing on classic techniques. As she says, “Once you know the basics, from braising to pickling, smoking to searing, you can bend them to your will.” Jessica Wilson Jessica has worked with, been taught by, and inspired and motivated by chefs such as Julia Child, Gabrielle Hamilton, Missy Robbins, and Job Yacubian. She’s always been surrounded by the culinary arts from her early years growing up on a farm in Vermont to working with culinary historians to foraging on morning walks to her first job as a dishwasher at age 14. Wilson’s two-decade career has taken her from Vermont to Florida to Massachusetts, and on to success in the East Village and Brooklyn in New York. Her resume includes time at Prune and A Voce, and most recently turns as executive chef at Goat Town and the Michelin-recommended Dear Bushwick. Jessica is now poised to open GRACE in Richmond, a neighborhood garden-to-table restaurant with an emphasis on fresh, sustainable, local, and affordable. The green space of the double lot will be a seasonal garden, providing for the restaurant and a morning community market.

iTunes | Google Play | Podbean | Soundcloud | Site | Instagram | Twitter CHEF SYRENA'S SITE Wow! I really enjoyed speaking with Chef Syrena Johnson for this episode. She's down-to-earth and open about her love for cooking as well as the real stresses of being HCIC (head chef in charge)! At the end of the episode, we also discussed the John Besh debacle, which as you may know, he was instrumental in the start and journey of her career. Chef Syrena did not hesitate to give her thoughts on the sexual harassment allegations involving Besh's company and the claim made against him personally. Chef Syrena, however, appears focused on taking care of her staff and continuing to help them become better everyday while making a living as cooks. Her name has made national news on several platforms given her amazing story of survival and MAJOR comeback after Hurricane Katrina. Visit her website to learn more about her and her amazing work in and out of the kitchen, especially how she gives back to local students in the community and those who work under her leadership. Read more below about her accomplishments! Her site is https://www.chefsyrenajohnson.com/.
This Halloween will be marked by more than psycho clowns, and masked men wielding machetes, as Hollywood’s scariest films get pushed aside by the one thing more terrifying than the mass murderers we invite into our homes on Friday movie night, and that is… the men who produce them. Weinstein Company founder, Harvey Weinstein, has been officially X’d out of his role at one of Hollywood’s largest production companies as dozens of women have come forward to accuse the company fondler of sexual assault and misconduct. Ranging from unwanted groping and kissing, to breaking and entering into a hotel room and masturbating like a chimpanzee who has lost it’s sense of dignity after decades of captivity. But Weinstein’s fall from fame won’t leave him alone. He will certainly have company as the rest of us try to wade our way through the sexual assaults we can forgive to the ones TV teaches us are somehow unforgivable. Weinstein will join the ranks of Bill Cosby’s bottomless happy hour, Bill O’Reilly’s family values, Anthony Weiner’s wiener, and even the famous kid’s TV network, Nickelodeon, with the likes of former creator, Chris Savino. Weinstein even stands alongside celebrity chef John Besh, and former ABC News political director, Mark Halperin. So in the spirit of Halloween, we have come up with a list of Weinstein Company movies that can be remade into Horror Films at minimal cost, whilst embracing their understanding of the shitstorm in their midst. Weinstein will, however, not be fortunate enough to have the company of some. There is one office that seems to be untouchable for the über touchy and that’s the Oval Office. Yes, we all know our president loves to walk in on women’s changing rooms, grab the occasional unwilling pussy, but many may not know that former President George H.W. Bush has recently been accused of being a creepy old man as well. Multiple women have come forward with surprisingly similar stories in which H.W. would grab women during photo ops using clever lines such as “Do you want to know who my favorite magician is? David Cop-a-Feel!” But why should we expect anything less when we live in a society where a white woman earns 75% of her male counterpart, and a hispanic woman on average earns 55% of that. But who cares as long as we can still call Amy Schumer a loose whore every time she makes a joke about banging a bro she met in a bar. Yes, we are all super progressive when it comes to sexual assaulters who have been accused of their transgressions dozens of times, but we likely are unmoved by the inequality that pervades in our daily lives. Even then, our class knows no limits in a society where it’s popular to say you respect women, and yet not bat an eye to vote for the position of Commander in Chief an overwhelmingly disgusting individual who is likely more impotent than incontinent, and yet more disturbing, likely both. These A-holes are slowly getting their due. These issues were all-but-ignored 50 years ago. But there is hope for the aspiring sexual assaulter. Because while sexual assault on college campuses, in the military or office setting remains a serious issue that is vastly ignored, a piece of human excrement wanting to be the next Harvey Weinstein by masturbating his way to the top can be rest assured that as long as society pretends to care, but doesn’t really care about equality among the sexes, then sexual assault will remain as elusive as Donald Trump’s tax returns.

Of course, I prefer wild Louisiana shrimp from the water. I know. It s better to find the best shrimp than to worry about whether they ve been frozen or not. Unless the shrimp come straight from the net to your kitchen, sometimes the highest quality options are frozen. This is where a trusty fishmonger makes all the difference. You can mix up your vegetables with the shrimp, using whatever s fresh and local. I love to add cauliflower, carrots, daikon, beans, onions, militon, and or okra. For the Brine 2 cups rice wine vinegar Zest and juice of 1 lemon Zest and juice of 1 orange 1 2 cup sugar 5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced 1 tablespoon coriander seeds 1 tablespoon mustard seeds 1 tablespoon peppercorns 1 tablespoon red chili flakes 2 bay leaves Pinch of kosher salt COMBINE all the ingredients in a large saucepan. Add 2 1 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. For the Brine 12 baby carrots 12 baby beans 12 pearl onions, peeled 12 okra pods 2 pounds boiled wild American shrimp, peeled and deveined Pack all of the vegetables and shrimp into a very large glass jar, alternating layers. Pour the hot brine into the jar to cover. Cover the jar and let cool. Refrigerate overnight. Serve right from the jar when you re ready.

There are certain things we all do. We all buy food. And when we do, we take for granted that supermarket shelves are going to be stocked. We all watch TV and movies though these days mostly on a small screen. And when we do other than certain types of film we take for granted that actors are going to be clothed. But food doesn t magically appear on supermarket shelves. And clothes don t magically appear on actors. Alison Parker is a professional costumer. She s one of the people who puts clothes on actors. Alison has costumed actors on stages in London, New York, and St Petersburg, in the air and underwater for Cirque du Soleil, and you ve almost certainly seen Alison s work on TV and in movies. She s worked with directors John Waters, Tim Burton, Steven Soderberg, and many more. Simone Reggie is the owner of Simone s Market on Oak Street, Uptown. Simone puts food on supermarket shelves. In the past Simone has worked in marketing for Chef John Besh, she was instrumental in starting up the short lived but popular online food market Good Eggs, and was a co founder of local butcher shop Cleaver and Co. With her own store that includes a wide range of prepared foods Simone s latest foray into food is a combination of all of her past food business past experiences. Not to mention her MBA. Alison and Simone join Peter Ricchiuti for this edition of Out to Lunch. Both Alison and Simone have fascinating careers in their respective fields,they re both at very interesting places in their business lives, and they share a couple of personal stories about how they got to where they are today. An inspirational, entertaining, and informative discussion. Photos at Commander s Palace by Alison Moon. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this week s show, we look at the role food television plays in the lives of several chefs here in New Orleans. We begin with one of the youngest stars of food TV, Kaj Hecht, the recent winner of Chopped Junior. To get an understanding of how the 10 year old New Orleans local came to be a contestant on the program, we invited Kaj and his father Michael into our studio. Next, we visit with Michael Gulotta, a chef who s well known for boldly taking on new challenges. The executive chef at MoPho and Maypop, Michael is now beginning a new endeavor and this time, to a much larger audience as a contestant on Iron Chef Gauntlet. Chefs Aar n S nchez and John Besh first became friends in a highly competitive atmosphere on the set of The Next Iron Chef. Now close pals and co owners of the modern Mexican eatery, Johnny S nchez, Aaron and John reflect back on their early days on food TV. Over the past year, we ve had the great fortune of chronicling Chef Isaac Toups experiences on Top Chef. Now a year after his stint on the show, we spoke with Isaac about his celebrity transition.

It takes more than raw talent to become a successful chef. On this week s show, we speak with culinary masters about the importance of mentorship in and out of the kitchen. We begin with Chefs Aar n S nchez and John Besh, who discuss how their scholarship programs aim to help aspiring young cooks, and the essential role mentorship has played in their own lives. Then, we visit with Chef Alfred Singleton, who co owns the historic Cafe Sbisa in New Orleans s French Quarter. One thing that was a constant throughout his journey, beginning in his godmother s po boy shop to becoming a successful restaurateur, was powerful mentorship. And Jeremiah Tower talks about his groundbreaking tenure at Chez Panisse in the 1970s, as well as the remarkable, international path his career has taken since those days. Jeremiah s life has been immortalized by an impassioned new documentary called Jeremiah Tower The Last Magnificent, produced by culinary bad boy number one, Anthony Bourdain. We re learning from the greatest on this week s Louisiana Eats

Guests: Kim Dickens, Erika Nakamura, Curtis Di Fede Nothing better than blood, sharp objects and zombies on Halloween, and we’ve got lots of all of that — and Kim Dickens, star of 'Fear the Walking Dead' and HBO’s ‘Treme'. Starting off with a cocktail — "The Bloody Vampire Killer" — Kim and The Jeffs dig into her experiences playing Chef Janette Desautel and starring alongside the likes of Superstar Chefs Tom Colicchio, David Chang, Eric Ripert, Wylie Dufresne, John Besh and Susan Spicer as well as her current role as Bad-Ass Mom, Madison Clark and feeding/killing for your family during the zombie apocalypse. Strauss surprises Phelps and Dickens with a little in-studio, fresh-made Beef-Heart Tartare and the three wrestle with the perennial question: “If you had to eat one person, who would it be?" Along the way, Strauss visits one of America’s “Top Woman Butchers”, Erika Nakamura at her hot-new butcher-shop/eatery, White-Gold Butchers, in New York to talk “How to Cut Up a Carcass”… and later sits down with Napa’s rising-star chef, Curtis Di Fede, of Miminashi.

The Louisiana restaurant scene has never been hotter. On this week s show, we re touring some special eateries that should be on your radar. We begin with best buds Aaron S nchez and John Besh, who reveal the genesis of their collaboration Johnny S nchez, a restaurant that combines their names and individual culinary sensibilities. Next, we have a conversation with Chef Alon Shaya, the 2016 winner of the James Beard Award for best new restaurant. We learn how his culinary talent and strong rooted sense of Israeli cuisine led him to open Shaya, which features a menu that transforms the many flavors of the Hebrew diaspora that now converge in present day Israel. Then, we join roving reporter Chris Jay on a trip to Marilynn s Place, a popular casual dining restaurant in Shreveport, where you never know when a party will spontaneously break out. Finally, we take a tour of the Bywater neighborhood in New Orleans, a hot new restaurant destination where ambitious young entrepreneurs are making a huge mark on the culinary landscape.

In 2001 he was recruited by Octavio Mantilla to join the Besh Restaurant Group, where he worked closely along side, Chef John Besh. Before long, Shaya became a partner in the Besh Restaurant group and opened Domenica, a family-oriented, authentic Italian Restaurant and shortly after opened Pizza Domenica, a casual Spin-off of Domenica Restaurant. Very recently Chef Shaya opened his 3rd restaurant Shaya which pays homage to his Israeli upbringing.In 2012, 2013, and 2014 Chef Shaya was a finalist for James Beard “Best Chef—South” and this year he won the title.

The root of the word “restaurant” is in fact the French verb restaurer , to restore. And New Orleans restaurateurs , the proprietors, were seen as key figures in restoring the life and spirit of the city. But in those first months after the flood, nobody was sure how or even if the city's most famous restaurants were going to reopen. We hear tape from an October 2005 meeting of New Orleans chefs — including John Besh , Susan Spicer and Leah Chase — about how to get the city's restaurant industry back on track. And we talk to present-day John Besh about how Katrina changed the way he does business. A consultant from Martin Wine Cellar talks about what it's like to deal with thousands of cases of ruined wine after a natural disaster. And we hop on the streetcar for a late night ride with New Orleans' service industry workers. Click here to subscribe in iTunes. WWNO's Listening Post project sent out a text asking New Orleanians about their experiences with food right after Katrina. Here

This week, Travel Today with Peter Greenberg from Cairo, Egypt. We’ve been broadcasting at least once every year from Egypt since 1998. Tourism numbers are down drastically in Egypt, but, as a veteran traveler to the region, Peter argues that this is perhaps the best time to go! You’ll find hardly anyone at the pyramids, and while more than 300 boats usually travel down the Nile in Luxor, this year only about six are operating. Joining Peter will be John Boulding, CEO of Insight Vacations to discuss why his boat, the Tosca, is running—as business is slowly starting to improve. A few ambassadors also stop by to give their situation report on Cairo and the rest of the country. Then, we go on a quick detour to visit celebrity Chef John Besh to talk about another city that knows all too well about recovery: New Orleans (especially as we near the tenth anniversary of Katrina). All of this and more during this week’s episode of Travel Today with Peter Greenberg from Cairo, Egypt.

The interior of Aaron Sanchez and John Besh's new restaurant is split into two designs one that looks like the iconic architecture of New Orleans, and the other is an homage to Sanchez's vibrant tattooed body. Even though both of these chefs have found success independently, their new collaboration at Johnny Sanchez is having each chef second guess what they took for granted. We'll also be joined by author Paul Greenberg, who spent three years writing his latest book, American Catch. He originally wanted to write a book about the consequences of the BP oil spill, but found that too many authors where covering that topic and decided to focus on another story imported Asian seafood. He'll help us identify imposters and explain how our wetlands are crucial to Gulf shrimp s survival. Then stick around to link up with the Gulf Seafood Trace program and learn how to cook shrimp without lighting a grill, setting your oven, or boiling water. Shrimp Ceviche Yields about 2 cups 1.5 pounds of shrimp cleaned, deveined and cut into dime sized pieces 1 2 bunch cilantro leaves, chopped 2 tablespoons French shallot, finely chopped 2 tablespoons of red onion, finely chopped 1 medium size tomato, seeded and diced 1 jalapeno, seeded and diced The juice of 4 limes Tortilla chips Combine all ingredients and marinate in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving with tortilla chips.

Chef John Besh Releases New Cookbook: Cooking from the Heart Just before Christmas I wrote an article about the new Besh Box initiative that Chef John Besh launched in November. The Besh Box is essentially a subscription-based, hand-picked gourmet cooking kit. You can read all about the Besh Box by clicking here: Chef John Besh's New Besh Box. But the Besh Box wasn't the only thing that John launched in November. He also released his third cookbook: Cooking from the Heart: My Favorite Lessons Learned Along the Way. John Besh is a local New Orleans boy, born and raised just east of here, in Slidell, LA. He is a successful restauranteur, running 8 restaurants in New Orleans and 1 in San Antonio. He is a recipient of the James Beard Award, a philanthropist, an author, a TV personality, a good Catholic, and a husband and father. John Besh is dedicated to his faith, to his family, to New Orleans and its culture and cuisine, to real food, to seasonal ingredients and to the message of the importance of families eating together around the table as often as possible.

Chef John Besh and Monsignor Christopher Nalty Join Us for Around The Table Food Show Two special guests joined us for the Friday, May 17th edition of Around The Table Food Show. Monsignor Christopher Nalty, a priest of the Archdiocese of New Orleans, is the pastor of Good Shepherd Parish, which was formed in October 2008 by merging together three parishes: St. Stephen, St. Henry and Our Lady of Good Counsel. Msgr. Nalty studied in Rome and spent about 10 years in Italy. He loves to cook, and he is really good at it. In 2009, when Fr. Leo Patalinghug was issued a "throwdown" by Bobby Flay, Msgr. Nalty worked together with Fr. Leo to prepare Fr. Leo's famous Steak Fajitas. On this edition of Around The Table Food Show, Msgr. Nalty shares with us his recipe for Pasta with Garlic & Oil (Aglio e Olio). I include my version of this recipe below. Chef John Besh is a local chef, restauranteur, cookbook author, husband, father, he has a TV cooking show... Oh, and he's Catholic. ;-) Read more about Chef John Besh and Msgr. Christopher Nalty at CatholicFoodie.com.
Today on Chef’s Story, host Dorothy Cann Hamilton is joined by New Orleans restauranteur, television personality, community activist and cookbook author John Besh. He discusses the historical significance of Louisiana foods and the collaboration of Creole and French cultures to create the indigenous New Orleans cuisine. Besh talks about his first culinary memories of family meals with rabbit and squirrel and his intrigue in the restaurant industry from an early age. He tells how his time in the military helped to shape his view of the culinary world and inspire him to lead a team in a positive and effective way. Besh looks back at the devastation of Hurricane Katrina and how the community came together over red beans and rice and the efforts to help those in need by employing hurricane affected residents and feeding those without food. Tune in as this James Beard Award winning chef and author talks about his journey to culinary stardom, his passion for local sourcing, and the importance of preserving the culinary history of New Orleans. This program was sponsored by Route 11 Potato Chips. “Creole is really a beautiful mixture, a cultural gumbo so to speak, of French, Spanish, African, German and Italian cuisines all thrown into this pot.” [6:44] “I was bitten by the restaurant bug early – I enjoyed bussing tables and coming to the kitchen early and preparing. It was pleasureable – I really enjoyed the interaction with people and the idea of food bringing people together and making everybody happy.” [18:33] “What the Marines gave me was an understanding of a mission. If the mission in this case is, as a cook, to set your station and be ready to serve your guest flawlessly, understanding that mission allows you to prioritize everything in your day.” [22:25] “Food is such a powerful tool – and it can be used for good! I found that out, and that’s what’s been driving me ever since.” [48:01] –chef John Besh on Chef’s Story
