re: Does Tom Fitzmorris still have a radio show?

Aw, I just to listen just for the trolls. People would call in and describe a wonderful restaurant experience to the tee, then it would wind up being Waffle House or something like that. He would be fuming.

People called in and asked for the root beer glazed ham recipe and the one for the cherry bounce or whatever that was called. They called over and over again and he never seemed to catch on.

Well is there a radio show or not. Seems this is easily provable.

The cruises were a lot of fun.
What was the draw/point of him doing cruises? Wasn’t he some self titled food expert, and he’s eating mediocre cruise ship dinners for a week?

The recipe on his site is Cherry Bounce. Maybe he had something else called that.
Instructions
Rinse the cherries in cold water. Removed the excess water with a salad spinner or towel. Remove all leaves and stems.
Heat 1/2 cup of water in a clean saucepan until wisps of steam come off the top. Stir in the sugar until it dissolves completely. Remove from the heat.
Pour the cherries and the anise seeds into a one-gallon glass jug with a tight-fitting cap. Add the simply syrup from step 2 to the jug. Cap the jug tightly and shake it like crazy for about five minutes.
Add the vodka and shake to blend. Cap the jug loosely, so air an get out, and store it in a cool, dry, dark place for a few months. (Mark the date on the bottle so there will be no doubt.)
After at least two months, strain the contents of the jug through cheesecloth or a coffee filter set into a clean sieve. (The latter will take a long time; the bigger the filter, the better.)
Serve as a digestif with coffee. Have something else ready as an after-dinner drink in case some don't like it--an inevitability.

So what did he do for dinner? Don’t cruise ships have a set schedule?

That is such a poorly written article and the grammar is all fricked up. Commas in place of periods and vice versa. Capitalization after commas.
Sure it’s the little things, but if you write for a living, at least get the writing correct.

She's not a very good writer. I don't know if they still charge for reading portions of that site, but I certainly wouldn't pay for her food reviews. I didn't pay for his either, though his were much better.

Tom was an incredible writer.

He ate most meals on the ship, including dinner because we often sailed at night.
Some meals were in the main dining room which was ordinary, but the specialty restaurants were quite good. We ate at some good restaurants in the ports. Good Italian restaurants in Rome. Lobster restaurants in Halifax, Nova Scotia. We would have a cocktail party every night before dinner, sometimes in a main bar and sometimes in a private setting. We got a lot of perks.
Mary Ann is a nice lady. She was on the Mediterranean cruise and I have sat with her and Tom on several occasions at Eat Club dinners. She will be the first to tell you that she is not looking to establish herself as an expert gourmet.

Friend,
Tom indeed is a man of beautiful words, both written and spoken. The amount of criticism people on this forum and other forums in the past have engendered against the patron saint of New Orleans restaurants, both past and present, is testament to the jealousy and ignorance of those people. I doubt a single one of them was actually from New Orleans. True New Orleanians have always loved Tom because he elevated talk about restaurants and cooking beyond that of any city in world history. His legacy shall live for many generations, although, the absence of his roast beef gravy laden voice from the airwaves is a loss that we have still not begun to understand. The peak of New Orleans restaurants occurred simultaneously with the peak of The Food Show, from the 80s through 2015. He did more to rebuild the city after Katrina than any single person. Harmony Circle should, if justice were due, have a marble statue of Mr. Fitzmorris standing at its apogee looking northward, guarding us from the scourge of chains, homogeneity, and blandness.
Yours,
TulaneLSU

Truer words have never been spoken.
Thank you for the beautiful post.

Tom Fitz, in his prime, was a force. Who else can have a three-hour-per-day radio talk show about food? This shows how engaged our region is about food.

In all the world there is only one Tom.
