Moved to Bham last year (you call that livin’?). Heard his wife on the food show last time in Nola recently but he was nowhere.

Dang, sorry to hear that. Knew he was slipping but didn’t realize he had that diagnosis

I believe they call it ‘The Long Goodbye’ (Alzheimer’s)

I don’t hear him as much anymore but a few months ago he would make an appearance on the show every now and then

I read one of Mary Ann's Dining Diaries recently for the first time in a long time. She mentioned eating somewhere at which she was asked if her food was amazing. She wrote that it was not amazing. What was amazing was Tom cheating death recently or something along those lines. What happened?

And I dare you to try to listen to more than 15 minutes of it without shaking your head. I’m not sure why anyone would be a guest on the show with her idiotic questions and palate of a teenager. Her strong suit is bar food and it’s painfully on display most of the time.

She is impossible to listen to...her recent review of Osteria Lupo is probably the worst written restaurant review I have read.

That's the review in which she said this:
quote:

At one point, one of the kids buzzing around waiting on tables passed the bar and greeted us. He asked us if everything was amazing, very confident we would validate that assumption. I gushed in agreement, mainly to entertain my companion.

Was my pasta amazing? Actually, no. Amazing is Tom cheating death recently. The food on my plate is never going to amaze me, though the serving of something ridiculous that I am supposed to rubber stamp might possibly amaze me…in its absurdity.



I hadn't looked at the site in a very long time, but I agree that her reviews are not well done. I haven't listened to her on the show. Wonder why they keep her on if she's so bad?

The show doesn't work without Tom and his quirkiness. The format has always been somewhat outdated, but for a city like New Orleans, it had a nice audience and some utility.

It really did. I remember some Saturday shows on the big 870 that were jammed packed with callers for all three hours.

I tried to get a reservation, because those are essential in the post-COVID world, especially at places with the “buzz.” I knew Osteria Lupo was in the coolest of the cool club because you reserve on RESY. Open Table is for, well, the rest of us. And then I noticed the blurb warning if I didn’t cancel 24 hours before the reservation time, it could trigger a $25 fee. PER GUEST. Immediately I decided the bar would be fine if indeed Osteria Lupo was that cool.
