Best Local Food Guru This is a tough one because mainly there’s two; the good news is that they’re easily accessible. Poppy Tooker has weekly residency on WYES Steppin’ Out and Louisiana Eats! radio and podcast. Ian McNulty writes about restaurants and food culture NOLA.com Times Picayune newspaper and intsagram (@ianmcnultynola)
Best Place to buy Crack Creole Crack that is. After Kitchen Witch cookbook shop closed after 20 years here, the demand for their spice blends did not abate. They have sold and shipped worldwide; considered the best by more than a few; available through their website (www.kwcookbooks.com)
Best Hidden Pop Up Restaurant, right before graduating from New Orleans Culinary and Hospitality Institute (NOCHI) every class operates a pop up café, strutting their stuff for two weeks at the school. The themes change with each pop up: French, Caribbean, Spain and even Viet Cajun have been executed with vigor and alacrity. Find out when and reserve quickly as seats go fast (www.nochi.org)
Best Bet On The Next Mayor You heard it next here: Helena Moreno. Quietly and effectively moving up over the years, from newscaster to President of the New Orleans City Council with calm assurance taking head on the tough issues from women’s rights to gun safety. If she decides to run, she’ll be hard to beat.
