“ In books and official reports, the tragedy of Katrina was blamed on politicians, poverty and poor engineering, as it should have been. But there was another conversation that should have happened — not about blame, but about understanding. What did regular people do before, during and after the storm? Why? And what could they have done better?” — Amanda Ripley in her book, The Unthinkable

GQ food critic Alan Richman continues his battle with celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain by panning Les Halles. I'm not linking to the review, but to a critique of the review on a Ne York Times blog that gives us the pertinent back-story Richman's review conveniently omits. It seems to me that Alan Richman and celebrity "chefs at large" deserve each other.

About this blog
After Katrina and its horrible aftermath, Chin Music Press felt compelled to shine its wobbly flashlight on New Orleans. This effort resulted in our second book, Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans? Along the way, we met a community of passionate, eloquent writers who care deeply about what happens to the Big Easy. This blog became a natural extension of the book. It's our way of adding voices to the unfolding story of New Orleans.
