Formally Celebrating the Food and Beverage of NO
Just a reminder:
The is getting ready to open the doors to its new permanent home in the Riverwalk Mall on June 1, settling down from a previously nomadic lifestyle claimed by this mobile museum.
A museum solely dedicated to the cultural and social significance of food and drink in New Orleans and the South (namely in the Delta), there are quite a few new exhibits that will be interesting to the curious traveller. Current features include Laissez Faire-Savoir Fare (Louisiana/NOLA), Wish You Were Here (postcards of African-Americans and newly documented dishes), and founder Liz Williams’ favorite, Eating in the White House – America’s Food, which she finds interesting for the fact that “much of what we serve in the White House influences national trends, like Lady Baltimore Cake and Martha Washington. It sets the tone for what people want to eat.” Tastings will take place on a very frequent schedule, and the participation of many local restauranteurs and dining legends guarantee a good time.
