Gumbo Tales--#75 finished

A restaurant critic or writer moves to New Orleans--her husband is doing a medical residency there I think, maybe med school--and she gets into the various different foods and influences there.  She arrived a few years before Katrina hit & then moved back afterwards during the rebuild.  Talked about restaurants that came back & restarted and ones that hadn't or at least hadn't at that point.  Some  very good food info and lots of good insight into the New Orleans food culture.  She also throws some good history lessons in there too.  It was a very slow moving book though and at times hard to get through but overall a good read.

I will post it on PBS at some point, I think there are 10 WL for it so just a matter of when I want to get it posted.
