See I guess that is where I try to educate people a little when I talk to them about food. Yes it is true that these are all creole food and it is what alot of people think about N.O. food. The top 15 restaurants in N.O. don't serve any of this for the most part.

i think thats because the 'new' chefs are trying to come up with new ideas for food. But overall, i would think my list is the classic new orleans/creole foods...just my opinion of course

The top restaurants in N.O. don't serve classic Creole or Cajun. They may have that influence and use local ingredients, but they are doing their own thing.

Red beans is definitely prominent in nola, but its ubiquitous across the state as well. I've said this more times than I can count, modern post-K New Orleans food and "traditional" New Orleans food are not the same thing. Where either of those falls in this conversation, I have no idea.

hmmm . . . actually started prior to Katrina.

A fledgling movement which picked up in earnest post-K. Its come into its own, its current state, post-K, along with the rest of the city.

I am basing this perception off of a conversation with Aaron Burgau and his opinion that it blossomed into what it was after he and several other chefs (including Lilette) left Ralph's on the Park and began hitting their stride. So, argue with him.
Posted on 7/27/11 at 9:36 pm to kfizzle85
Whatever. If that's what he says he's full of shite. What did John Harris and Donald Link have to do with Ralph's?
Posted on 7/27/11 at 9:43 pm to VOR
Apparently John Harris and Justin Devillier (and I don't remember who the other person was) worked there with him before they opened their own restaurants. But, I'm sure he was just yanking my chain entertaining me and buddy who was about to start working there after coming back from NYC after 5 years, right? He didn't say anything about Link, neither did I. This isn't about it starting, its about it growing.

Maybe so. I'll ask John about it.
Posted on 7/27/11 at 9:46 pm to VOR
You definitely should. I realize Lilette has been open for forever, so I don't know if he meant that they worked there together for some period of time post-K while he in particular waited to re-open Lilette or what, but that's what he said. eta: Either way it doesn't change my point.

All I'm saying is that, while non-traditinal cuisine may have grown after Katrina, it was in bloom way before.
Posted on 7/27/11 at 9:56 pm to VOR
And all I'm saying is that, while in bloom before, it did not become the identity of the city until it blossomed, which happened after. BTW totally off-topic: I just moved to Houston, and while they may have some great places to eat, the culture is so pervasively different it really makes you appreciate the food culture of the city. Its really blowing my mind.
