I love talkin' New Orleans, food and otherwise! Incidentally, I'm from Detroit. Go Figure. Lets just say I figured out "what it means, to miss New Orleans" and this site helps ease the pain.

Great Chefs of New Orleans: Austin Leslie at Nola Cuisine

. Great Chefs of New Orleans: Austin Leslie Austin Leslie, the beloved “Godfather of Fried Chicken,” was a true New Orleans culinary legend whose Creole-Soul cooking at Chez Helene and later Jacques-Imo’s captured the heart and flavor of the city. From humble beginnings delivering fried chicken on a bicycle to inspiring the TV show Frank’s Place, Leslie’s career was marked by unmatched skill, big personality, and a deep love for feeding people. His signature fried chicken, topped with garlic-parsley persillade and a dill pickle slice, became iconic, and his impact on Creole cuisine lives on well beyond his passing in 2005. This tribute celebrates his life, legacy, and the flavors that made him unforgettable, along with a recreation of his legendary fried chicken recipe

From Homemade Rendered Lard

I just started my new site American Gourmand and I kicked off my posting with a dish near and dear to my heart, Buttermilk Fried Chicken!

While I love working on Nola Cuisine as well as this blog, I need an outlet to explore other culinary pursuits; barbecue, pizza, sushi, charcuterie, etc., so American Gourmand is born!

Next week I am off to Nashville for 4 days of Southern food exploration and hopefully a heck of a lot of great music too!

See you soon!
