  1. The Black & Gold Rising!!

    My aunt Ade­laide once told me that she read and believed that we each have only 7 min­utes (or there abouts) of total joy or bliss in our entire life.  I hate that idea.  But if there is any truth to it I used up a cou­ple of them in the Super­dome when a 5’8” […]

  2. Madly Entertaining

    We’ve always known Bryan as the multi-talented singer, dancer, actor, etc. (etc., etc., and etc.)  We’ve seen him count­less times on Broad­way and doing his one man show in New Orleans (soon to be in New York, too!).  He is cur­rently star­ring on AMC’s hit TV Show Mad Men as Art Direc­tor Sal­va­tore Romano who’s […]

  3. Liquid history Of New Orleans: Chapter Tiki !

    Just say Pontchar­train Beach and most peo­ple my age who grew up in New Orleans will grin like a overgrown kid.

    And there was no “beach” to speak of but an amuse­ment park that rivaled the best we’d ever seen.

  4. The Secret Is Out!!

    02/26/2009
    Well, the secret is finally out – the sea­son finale of Top Chef was filmed here at Commander’s Palace.  It was quite an expe­ri­ence.  After work­ing with the fan­tas­tic pro­duc­ers Liz Cook and Nan Strait for sev­eral months it all came together beau­ti­fully and the restau­rant trans­formed into a Hol­ly­wood set overnight.

  5. 3 — 2 –1… We have lift off!

    The entrance to Café Ade­laide was lined with staff greet­ing guests with cham­pagne cock­tails as the Cock­tail Chicks draped them in white boas.

  6. Punch it Up for Game Day!

    We are Saints fans.  Our team in the Super­bowl is like a far away land seen in a dream sequence.  BUT, we believe!  And no fans are more faithful.

  7. The World In My Living Room – On TV & Otherwise

    I remem­ber being kept home from school to watch the men walk on the moon.  I remem­ber so much footage in New Orleans of Kennedy being shot – over and over – par­tic­u­larly when I was older and local DA Jim Gar­ri­son accused Clay Shaw of killing Pres­i­dent John F. Kennedy.

  8. An Old Fashioned Visit

    Lu recently men­tioned din­ner with myself, my mother Ella Bren­nan, and Dale DeGroff.  It was a “spirited” meal…

  10. Boo!

    Hal­loween in New Orleans has taken a decid­edly adult turn. I guess we can’t wait all year for Mardi Gras to break out our next clever cos­tume so in the last decade while the kids are at Boo At The Zoo the adults are at the pro­lif­er­a­tion of par­ties of all types. Just stroll through the Quar­ter and you will be sure to get a fright – or a laugh.
