re: Tom Fitzmorris saved NOLA’s food scene after Katrina

Acts like a Jesuit arse but has a degree from Rummel.

No peculiar or strong distain for him. I grew up listening to him with my family, I have his book, I listened to him up until he went on the HD channel- which my car did not get.

I have never met the man in person although, I always wanted to go on one of his eat club dinners. I base my feelings only from listening to him on the radio. I think he is rude to callers, he feels he is above everyone else when he talks to a caller, he cuts some callers off when he does not agree, does not take criticism well and sometimes does not study up on the new ways and his way is not always right.

Other than this, he is a good resource, guide, informative about food. Helped put food as a talk show on the radio. I may not agree with his arrogant ways but, has done a lot for the food scene here in NOLA.

The radio host TF can come off as a pompous arse. That is a gimmick. I have spoken with TF a couple times over the years in person and found him to be a good guy.

Send him or Maryann an email and let them know your experience, would ya? They will make this right.

Maybe if you’re 65 and visiting the city for the first time

He’s a hack and part of the reason why out of towners think Nola people are snobs

Always found him to be an arrogant, pompous arse. He has little appreciation for some of the simpler, absolute gem dishes this area is known for. He’s all about it being exquisite. When people call in and talk about a neighborhood joint or a mid level place, he kind of dismisses them. But hey, if people wanna listen, have at it.

My farts smell like grapes sometimes.
