The editor/entertainer sifts through a century and a half of culinary histories to craft a compelling narrative rife with colorful traditions... Just as valuable are her expansive conversations with owners, chefs, bartenders, and oyster shuckers alike as they tote weighty reputations and make delicate changes with another century of success in mind. "In many places, chefs can carry the burden of a restaurant and its menu," said Kennon, "but in New Orleans it's really a mix of chefs and owners carrying on family legacies. You don't go into a role as fifth generation owner of a family business without being passionate. They feel an obligation--and were honest about that. But there was always passion." <i> Country Roads Magazine </i> <p/><br>
