I consider current a little more recent then "Post-Katrina".

The last couple of years we've seen Borgne, Pizza Domenica, Shaya, Johnny Sanchez, Peche, High Hat, Ancora, and soon to be Primitivo all under 3 Chef's umbrella. I'm sure I forgot a few. That's a significant consolidation of the market. Yes, all have their own chef, but ownership determines what kind of food will be created.

While the current King Makers of the NOLA food scene have proven nothing like the Brennan's (Thank God), the fear is they could grow conservative.

You seemed to have missed the end of my last post stating that future development is my concern.

My apologies I haven't had my Irish coffee yet. I read it as you agreed with the Chef on Post K and recent times.

I completely agree with your assessment of the post-katrina and even recent time frames

Come on O Brah this is really a stretch. Seems like you have a solution in search of a problem. The Nola food scene is the best right now it's probably been in the history of the city. For every Besh / Garcia / Link place there's more new restaurants popping up. Just look at what is happening in the Bywater. You've got Root + Square Root pushing the envelope. Revolution, while Folse, is a superb restaurant. I think you are being a bit paranoid.

I do agree with you on the point regarding ethnic restaurants. But to me that's not a problem as much as it is yet another big opportunity for even more growth of the culinary scene in New Orleans.
