This disability lawsuit says that Lynn Zatarain was making 168K at WDSU in 1992. She was the highest paid anchor at the time. That is way more than I thought they made...especially for the early 90s.

Chemex is the best. :dude:

Those services are a way to up charge for normal food. No one who started plated is either a cook or a farmer. They just thought it up in a business school.

This should be the official tigers vegetable.

I agree with this. We are barely better than Mississippi. It's gotten better but we are still lacking in certain styles.

This is definitely true. I really like Parish and Great Raft but they don't put Louisiana that far above Mississippi when it has SoPro. I think Louisiana is getting a lot of credit for ability to drink beer.

Mississippi also doesn't deserve to be below Rhode Island- when the only beer named in that list, Narargansett, is actually brewed by Genesee.

Just walking, taking a ferry ride, and seeing the main tourist sites that people have mentioned (Blue Mosque, Topkapi, Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar, Dolmabache Palace) are great. When my family and I went we also enjoyed seeing the Sufi whirling at Galata Mevlevihanesi. The building and the ceremony are both beautiful.

It's true the chemex is the only way to go with coffee.

Most of the equal exchange beans are pretty good. I also picked up some French roast beans from third coast in Austin that were nice.

Gnarly Barley's Catahoula Common and Milk Stout are pretty good and seem to be popping up at a fair number of NOLA bars.

It seems like pricing depends on the co-op structure, how established it is, and how big it is. From my experience co-ops where working is required for membership tend to have pricing that is significantly less than whole foods and for better products (probably because they are not paying salaries). For instance the Park Slope food co-op has great deals (but is also somewhat crazy). On the other hand I am a member of the New Orleans Food Co-Op, and I would love to support them more, but I hardly ever shop there because it's too expensive. The pre-ordering situation at the Savannah co-op is a bit like a CSA share. Those usually are a better deal than a place like whole foods.
