When:  Saturday, November 21, 2009 - 2pm - 4 pm
Where:  Southern Food and Beverage Museum - 1435 Jackson Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130

A culture that continues to capture the fascination of newcomers, the essence of New Orleans runs deeper than tourist attractions. There is a part of New Orleans that doesn’t exist in the French Quarter or on college campuses or in the Superdome. This New Orleans lives and breathes in kitchens large and small throughout the city. Mamma’s, grandmamma’s, aunts, uncles, and cousins stir up southern comfort in the form of home-style food. This is the New Orleans that is found throughout Frank Davis’s fifth book.
