Zamata also performs at New York’s East Village Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB) as often as her schedule allows, she says, including two competitive improv events in recent weeks. Many SNL cast members performed at UCB, and it helped propel Zamata into comedy. “I thought I would be doing more theater,” she says. “When I moved to New York (in 2008), I was auditioning for plays and trying to get my (Actors) Equity card and all that. I kept going to UCB to watch shows and I felt so connected there. After a while I thought, ‘I have to take a class.’ … (I) took another and another and blew through all the classes.” While she liked sketch and improv at UCB, she started her standup act on her own. “I overheard people in my classes saying they wanted to try standup but it scared them,” she says. “So then I was like, ‘I like doing scary things.’ I went to some open mics and didn’t tell anyone. I didn’t die. It wasn’t awful. Then I caught the bug and kept wanting to get up there. Seven years later I am still doing it.”

ince joining the cast of Saturday Night Live in January 2014, Sasher Zamata has impersonated Beyonce, Nicki Minaj and Rihanna on the show, and has run into all of them — though only Rihanna disapproved, Zamata says; the pop star gave her a cold shoulder while appearing at an event together. “Taraji Henson didn’t seem to mind,” Zamata says via phone from New York. “Or at least she didn’t say anything to me. … Beyonce didn’t July 26 say anything, Sasheer Zamata but I don’t with Liza Treyger know if she saw it.” 8 p.m. Sunday Zamata Publiq House joined the show 4528 Freret St. mid-sea(504) 826-9912 son, after an www.publiqhouse.com uproar over the cast’s lack of a black female comedian — which dated back to Maya Rudolph’s departure in 2007. Zamata had made short videos of herself as Michelle Obama, Beyonce and others and posted them on the Internet. She was ready to step right into SNL’s ’s steady stream of topical sketches. “I did a bit with Michelle Obama on Queen Latifah’s show at my audition,” Zamata says. “Like Latifah was interviewing her.” She reprised the role in an SNL Mother’s Day sketch with Vanessa Bayer playing Hilary Clinton. As the two deliver a joint holiday message, a cheery Obama offers Clinton a cookie and waits till Clinton is struggling with a chewy bite before noting that it’s low fat and made with flax seeds and dates. Eventually Clinton’s competitiveness spills over and she compares her work as U.S. Secretary of State to the First Lady’s efforts to reduce obesity: “For years I have been flying around the world dealing with all sorts of humanitarian crises, but hey, I suppose it’s tough to make a chubby kid eat an apple.” While Zamata waits for the SNL season to begin in late September, she’s touring at mostly rock clubs and alternative venues, including a show at Publiq House July 26. Also this summer, she and comedian Nicole Byers are working on the third season of their web series Pursuit of Sexiness, which focuses heavily on dating, sex and racial stereotypes but ranges into other topics about New York life. Both seasons and some of Zamata’s solo videos are posted on her website (www.sasheer.com).

We PHOTO BY JEANIE RIESS had between 100 and 200 cyclists there.” Bike Houston also directs cyclists and friends of victims to Houston City Council public comment in an effort to “put a face with what’s happening in the city,” Payne says. “So if someone stands up and says, ‘My best friend was killed and I’ll never see him again,’ that actually resonates with the elected officials. And when they say, ‘You know, this person was riding in the bike lane and got run over by a truck’ … these are real people and real stories, so that’s all very helpful.” Dan Favre, who directs Bike Easy, the New Orleans equivalent of Bike Houston, says Bike Easy isn’t helping organize the die-in, but the group has been in touch with Fleming and other participants and supports the action. “Especially in the aftermath of Ben Gregory’s death [this month], emotions are very high,” Favre says. “I think that folks who ride are scared — they’re feeling it, their friends are dying.” Fleming acknowledges that keeping all roadway users safe requires a handful of policies, including education and enforcement of the bike lanes that already are painted. But he says improving infrastructure is key. “The majority of the problems I see, it’s like, cyclists trying to avoid a pothole, there’s a car, what can you do?” he asks. “Narrow roads and lights are not working and that’s the big PAGE 8

N.O. COMMENT What you had to say on BestofNewOrleans.com this week

Our story, “Longtime businesses close on Freret Street,” drew these responses: The people that complain about gentrifying the most are usually white 20-something year old kids who have lived here for only 2-3 years. Just a few years ago, around 07-08, Freret was actually a dangerous, run down place. That area has seen change that has made a night and day difference. — Steve S I agree that it’s primarily the construction debacle that’s hurting these businesses. Most people I know would like to shop local but avoid these areas because there’s a new street closing or parking obstruction every time you go. It’s insanity that the city allowed so much of uptown to be carved up at one time. — miNola NOLA-Soon to become a “LUXURY ZONE” like SF. PUKE. — Hudson Marquez

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > JULY 21 > 2015

icyclists in New Orleans are angry. On July 6, Ben Gregory, a 37-year-old visual artist, was biking on Elysian Fields Avenue when he was struck by a hit-and-run motorist and left for dead. It was the fifth death this year of a bicyclist in New Orleans. Despite the city’s continued trumpeting of its commitment to alternative modes of transportation, cyclists keep getting hurt, and tension between motorists and cyclists continues to rise both on and off the streets. Gregory’s death was the final straw for some cycling activists, who are organizing a “die-in” in front of New Orleans City Hall at 2 p.m. July 23 — the date of the next New Orleans City Council meeting. More than 350 people have clicked “attending” on the event’s Facebook page (a number that may or may not translate to actual attendees) promising to play dead at City Hall, hoping to get some attention and action on safety from both the council and Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s office. Alexander Fleming organized the die-in. “If you go down St. Claude [Avenue], in less than a three-, four-, five-mile radius, it’s just ghost bike, ghost bike, ghost bike,” Fleming says of the white bikes the biking community erects as memorials where a crash has resulted in death. “It’s getting creepy.” Fleming got the idea for a bicycle die-in from an event in Houston two weeks ago. Michael Payne, director of Houston’s bicycle advocacy nonprofit Bike Houston, told Gambit that his city has seen five cyclist deaths in 30 days — the worst month, statistically, in the city’s history — and the die-in was a grassroots attempt to call attention to the sudden uptick in lives lost to collision. Payne isn’t sure yet what the impact of the die-in will be, since it was so recent, but he’s glad advocates were able to have their voices heard.

My thoughts and prayers are with #NOPD Officer Vernell Brown Jr. and his family as he remains in grave condition. #PrayForOfficerBrown

thing. Infrastructure affects cyclists, infrastructure affects pedestrians and it affects people who drive.” “It’s just that the streets suck. That’s it. That’s the biggest thing, I think,” says Ilana Greenwald, a student at Tulane University who bikes two hours every day. “More than cars, it’s the actual streets — the potholes.” Kate Jamison, another Tulane University student, says she bikes between 20 and 50 miles a week, depending on her schedule. “I’ve never had any bad experiences on my bike, really,” she says, but two of her fellow employees at the Jewish Community Center have been hit by cars in the last year — one of them a Tulane student. The solution is “more bike lanes.” Jamison says, citing a number of Uptown arterial streets that need bike lane designations, including Napoleon, Louisiana and Jackson avenues. (Since 2008, the city has striped more than 87 miles of bike lanes, with plans to exceed 100 before the end of the year.) “I think Bike Magazine put us up at like fifth in the nation for most bike-friendly city as far as layout and stuff like that,” says Steven JP Pool, a member of the Bad News Bike Club, which helps build and coordinate the installation of ghost bikes where cyclists have been killed. The group plans to send people to the die-in. “Conversely, we’re absolutely one of the most dangerous cities,” he says, “There’s the argument that there’s great infrastructure here with the bike lanes that exist, but then there’s other arguments that, you know, the infrastructure is also such that it’s dangerous.” Favre agrees, though he also emphasizes the importance of education and enforcement. “The city of New Orleans needs to start planning for a comprehensive and connected network of bicycling facilities,” he says, “so that someone leaving their house in Gentilly can make it to a house in the

Garden District via a series of safe and convenient facilities.” Pool would like to see more enforcement. “If we had a legitimate way of enforcing the laws we already have, and if we had a good, legitimate way to educate everybody of what those laws were, I feel like we would eliminate a lot of the problem,” he says. “Everything we’ve done up to this point has been a failure. So now it’s time that everybody speaks up and calls bullshit.” Fleming attended a City Council meeting July 9, the day the council was scheduled to appoint members to its Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Advisory Committee, which the council created nine months ago. It still hasn’t met. “They were supposed to appoint these people (at the last council meeting),” Fleming says, adding that he told a friend at the meeting, “They’re concerned more about dead Confederates than they are dead New Orleanians.” City Councilman Jared Brossett heads the Transportation and Airport Committee. He says the first meeting of the new committee is scheduled for noon Aug. 21 in City Council chambers. Of the 13 members, he says, most have been appointed. “The advocates should continue to promote bicycle safety,” Brossett told Gambit. “That’s what this committee is about, respecting everyone’s different modes of transportation and making awareness of the traffic laws in our city.” Pool has a blunter message. “These ghost bikes are kind of our thing, and that’s because we’re trying to bring that stern message to people: Look the f—k out,” he says. “You are not the only ones on the damn street, you need to share this. Cyclists have every right to be here, and you are not going to take that away from us.” — Charles Cody Siler contributed to this report.

NEWS VIEWS SCUTTLEBUTT Quote of the week “$578,759.51” — The amount Gov. Bobby Jindal’s presidential campaign raised in the second quarter of 2015, as reported to the Washington Examiner. It does not include the $8.6 million raised by Jindal’s Super PAC and other groups. Jindal formed an exploratory committee earlier this year, but did not formally announce his candidacy until June 24, which explains the low figure. Nevertheless, Politico reporter Jonathan Topaz noted Jindal’s total “fell short of what several GOP candidates — including Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz — raised in their first 24 hours.”

Patients set to move into University Medical Center

The massive University Medical Center (UMC) is near completion, but there still are some construction and patient housing issues to be resolved before 180 patients move into the new facility on Aug. 1. At a presentation before the New Orleans City Council’s Community Development Committee on July 15, Greg Feirn — CEO of LCMC Health, which runs the Interim LSU Hospital, Touro, Children’s Hospital, New Orleans East Hospital and several other health centers — said the hospital center along Tulane Avenue is on track to open with state-of-the-art facilities, more than 400 patient beds, 56 exam rooms, 19 operating rooms, five trauma rooms and a secure “isolated inpatient unit” for prison inmate patients. The $1.1 billion, 2.3-million-square-foot development will employ 2,000 people, including 600 physicians. On Aug. 1, 180 patients from the interim LSU hospital will move “all in one day” into the new medical center, Feirn said. New Orleans City Council members had received a tour of the new center and were largely impressed.

What to do about New Orleans’ Confederate monuments — if anything — has been a hot topic since the Confederate flag flap in South Carolina and Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s call to get four Confederate monuments here taken down or moved. On July 23, Louisiana Cultural Vistas magazine will host a forum on the subject, focusing on the history of each, as well as the significance of Robert E. Lee, P.G.T. Beauregard and Jefferson Davis to the city of New Orleans. According to the magazine, “The conversation is intended to add a historical perspective to the ongoing debate over how the South interprets the memory of the Civil War and Reconstruction.” Louisiana Cultural Vistas Editor David Johnson will moderate, and the panel will include Tulane University associate professor of history Rosanne Adderley; Molly Mitchell, professor of early American history at the University of New Orleans; Justin Nystrom, assistant professor and co-director of Loyola University’s Center for the Study of New Orleans; and Greg Osborn, who works at the New Orleans Public Library. The discussion begins at 6 p.m. at the offices of the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities (938 Lafayette St.). Admission is free and open to the public. — KEVIN ALLMAN

Feirn said it would not. “The medical people are going to have to walk out in traffic if we don’t get this built,” she said. “We’re putting people at risk. … We’re making them cross the street … all because of a design dispute.” Feirn also said there are no current plans for using the 38 mental health beds at the DePaul-Tulane Behavioral Health Center once it moves patients there to the UMC. A separate facility at DePaul for adolescent beds will remain. But for now, LCMC will move adult patients into the 60-bed mental health facility at UMC and “build capacity.” Feirn said the DePaul facility possibly could be used as “a unit for additional capacity.” — ALEX WOODWARD

Bernie down the house Sanders to attend Dems party in NOLA

Vermont U.S. Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders will be a guest at the 2015 Louisiana Democratic Party Jefferson-Jackson Dinner in New Orleans July 25. Sanders has proved to be a draw on the campaign trail and has begun to crack the 20 percent mark in some recent polls — still far behind Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton. Still,

Sanders has excited some of the Dems’ liberal base in a way that Clinton hasn’t, with as many as 10,000 people showing up for his rallies. Sanders has been outspoken about what he calls “the grotesque level of income and wealth inequality” in America, has called for free tuition at four-year public colleges and universities, and has and advocated for Wall Street reform. Minnesota U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar is set to deliver the dinner’s keynote speech, and former Louisiana U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu will be honored that night as well. Dinner tickets are $175 per person and available at www.louisianademocrats.org. If that’s too rich for your blood, there’s always the roast of Gov. Bobby Jindal at AllWays Lounge in the Marigny at 7:30 p.m. the same night. Though Jindal won’t be attending, that one’s free and will feature several local comics providing political humor. — KEVIN ALLMAN

COMMENTARY

thinking out loud

budget Jindal inherited from Blanco, it’s nowhere near a 26 percent reduction — and certainly not $9 billion less. As political columnist Robert Mann pointed out, the difference between Blanco’s last budget and Jindal’s 2014-15 budget is roughly $2.75 billion — which is less than the $2.81 billion

With just a little digging, anyone can see that the governor consistently lies about his record. reduction in federal funding during that same time period. Jindal’s final budget of $25 billion is also less than Blanco’s final budget, but nowhere near $9 billion less. Moreover, as the Public Affairs Research Council of Louisiana (PAR) noted, Jindal’s final budget contains $747 million in tax and fee increases — which brings us to Jindal’s biggest whopper of all: that he “balanced” his final budget “without raising taxes.” We can’t wait to see Fox News hold Jindal’s feet to the fire on that lie.

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > JULY 21 > 2015

onsidering how much free ink Gov. Bobby Jindal has gotten for himself penning shallow opeds in Time magazine and The New York Times in the past year or so, it’s ironic that the governor’s inert presidential campaign got knocked off its game (such as it is) by the normally fawning Fox News Network. During a July 12 appearance on Fox News Sunday, host Bret Baier nailed Jindal for his pathetic fiscal record as Louisiana’s governor. Jindal tried to deflect the criticism and dodge the question, but Baier kept bringing the increasingly nervous Jindal back to his record of deficits and — gasp! — tax increases. Baier even zeroed in on Jindal’s “SAVE Act” gimmick, asking, “Isn’t that, Governor, the kind of stuff that Republicans hate about Washington?” Yes, it is. And it’s about time someone from network TV nailed Jindal for what everyone in Louisiana knows to be the truth: He raised taxes and used fiscal doublespeak to “balance” his last budget. As far as we can tell, that was the first time — but hopefully not the last — that a network interviewer exhibited signs of doing some homework on Jindal. With just a little digging, anyone can see that the governor consistently lies about his record. Among Jindal’s biggest whoppers is his now-standard claim that he reduced state spending by 26 percent, or $9 billion. That’s beyond exaggeration. It’s a lie. Jindal repeated that lie during the Fox News Sunday interview when he said, under grilling from Baier about his tax increases, “We’ve actually cut government. Our budget is $9 billion smaller than when we took office.” No, Governor, it’s not $9 billion smaller. In fact, it’s not even close to $9 billion smaller — nor has it ever been. And every time you say that, Governor, you’re lying. Here are the numbers: When Bobby Jindal took office in January 2008, the state was halfway through former Gov. Kathleen Blanco’s last budget, which was $28.6 billion. Of that, nearly $12.9 billion was federal money — much of it in the form of steadily dwindling, postKatrina/Rita disaster relief. Equally important, Blanco left the state with a surplus of more than $850 million — all of which Jindal spent in his first year in office. A year ago, Jindal signed a budget of more than $25.8 billion, which included almost $10.1 billion in federal funds. Although that budget was less than the

BLAKE PONTCHARTRAIN™ Questions for Blake: askblake@gambitweekly.com

Hey Blake,

The old train overpass on Marconi Drive used to have beautiful irises painted on it. Now they are faded and there’s graffiti and big gray squares of paint. Who painted the original bridge and can they do it again? Sara Schnell

Dear Sara,

You’re not alone in your curiosity about the Marconi Drive railroad bridge. In fact, we heard from reader Raymond Stelly a few days after you wrote, asking the same question. That’s probably because the bridge is in such a high-profile spot, seen by thousands of people traveling through New Orleans City Park each day. The history of Marconi Drive itself dates back to March 1937. Like many park improvement projects of the time, the construction was a product of the federal Works Progress Administration. New Orleans Mayor Robert Maestri cut the ribbon on the new thoroughfare on April 13, 1938. It is named for Guglielmo Marconi, the Italian inventor widely known as the father of radio. The railroad underpass, which The Times-Picayune reported was built at a cost of $760,000, was dedicated in June 1953.

The irises and pink and gray color scheme you recall date to the 1980s, when then-Orleans Parish Criminal Sheriff Charles Foti’s prison art program repainted the underpass. The program began in 1984, when inmates helped paint Christmas murals on the old Orleans Parish Prison. Their work gave a fresh new look to dozens of structures over the years. Longtime Foti spokeswoman Danae Columbus could not recall the exact year the Marconi bridge was painted but said inmates initially repainted the entire bridge, then came back and added flowers. Recent activity you may have seen at the underpass has less to do with its look and more with safety. WWL-TV reported that after at least five instances of 18-wheelers crashing into the structure, city crews have installed warning signs and safety mechanisms to prevent future accidents. As for a new paint job, the underpass is owned and operated by the railroads, so any decision to repaint it would be up to them.

Irises painted on the railroad overpass on Marconi Drive have faded, but the railroad company has painted part of the bridge, mostly to warn trucks that are too tall to clear the structure.

his week, we wish a happy 85th birthday to the patriarch of a New Orleans political dynasty — Moon Landrieu. An attorney best known for his two terms as the city’s mayor from 1970 to 1978, Landrieu also served as a state representative, city councilman, secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and judge on Louisiana’s 4th Circuit Court of Appeal. Born on July 23, 1930, Landrieu graduated from Jesuit High School and Loyola University. In 1969, he campaigned for mayor on a progressive, pro-civil rights platform and won with a large majority of African-American votes. He brought large numbers of African-Americans into city government during his two terms and secured federal dollars for the revitalization of poor neighborhoods. He also helped the city’s nascent tourism industry by developing the Moonwalk (named in his honor), boosting development along Poydras Street, promoting construction of the new Louisiana Superdome and renovating the French Market and Jackson Square. He and his wife Verna, whom he married in 1954, have nine children, several of whom followed him into public office, including the current mayor.

Last week, the nonprofit operator of LSU’s Shreveport and Monroe hospitals sued a for-profit competitor for alleged federal antitrust violations. Antitrust law is even more complex than Jindal’s hospital privatization scheme, but the suit has huge implications for that scheme, which Jindal touts as one of his singular accomplishments. The main allegation of the suit is that the for-profit competitor is trying to lure paying patients away from LSU’s Shreveport hospital (thereby threatening its viability) — and trying to undermine (or take over) the nonprofit’s role as LSU’s hospital operator. If the case proceeds to discovery, the revelations could be very, very interesting. Count on this: Jindal’s fiscal house of cards will fall, and he won’t spend any time or political capital trying to fix things — which means whoever succeeds him will have an even bigger mess on his hands come January.

ov. Bobby Jindal’s last state budget is only three weeks old but already it’s poised to come apart at the seams. No one should be surprised. As he has done for the past seven consecutive years, Jindal this year convinced state lawmakers to cobble together a budget that is a masterpiece of fiscal legerdemain. It combines scandalous (and unconstitutional) dependence on one-time money for recurring expenses with highly speculative projections of savings and/or revenues, plus a new twist: the SAVE Act, which magically turns $747 million in tax and fee increases into “revenue neutral” measures. If you’re wondering how Jindal managed in his rookie year to secure a budget without using one-time money to pay for recurring expenses, recall that he inherited a nearly $850 million surplus that year from former Gov. Kathleen Blanco. He promptly flip-flopped on rolling back the Stelly Plan (in what apparently was his last lucid interval as governor, he initially wanted to keep Stelly), ran to the front of the tax cut parade and pretended to lead it, and then promptly spent Blanco’s entire surplus. Ever since, he has used any number of gimmicks to mask what Moody’s Investors Service has aptly termed Louisiana’s “structural deficit.” The SAVE Act, which creates a fee that nobody pays and a tax credit that no one receives, is Jindal’s magnum opus. Lawmakers practically held their noses in passing it. But that was just the start. Immediately after the new fiscal year began on July 1, the Louisiana Chemical Association (LCA) challenged one of the tax increases in court. The tax hike in question suspends (for one year) a 1 percent state sales tax exemption that businesses enjoy on their utility bills. The LCA cites a constitutional requirement that tax increases must pass the House and Senate by a two-thirds vote. Lawmakers raised several taxes this spring, including the business utility sales tax, with less than a two-thirds supermajority. The courts must now determine whether raising taxes by temporarily suspending a tax exemption amounts, in legal terms, to raising taxes. If the courts agree with the LCA, the floodgates will open and Jindal’s final budget will come tumbling down like a house of cards even before he leaves office. That was not part of his exit strategy. It doesn’t end there.

Brad Andries, Dayne Womax and Sara Toth were the winners at Gambit’s Emerging Chefs Challenge.

BY W IL L C O V IEL LO | P H OTO S BY R O M NE Y P H OTO G R A P H Y

hef Dayne Womax of Brown Butter Southern Kitchen and Bar barely had a chance to survey the competition at Gambit’s Emerging Chef’s Challenge July 8 at The Cannery. “We were the first table, right by the door, so we were busy from the get-go,” Womax says. He and his team served a popular dish from their restaurant’s regular menu: vinegar-braised boneless beef short rib over stone-ground yellow grits topped with arugula salad and fried shallots. More than 500 attendees sampled dishes from a dozen chefs and cast ballots for their favorite. The dishes ranged from hearty comfort food items to regional classics such as chef Ryan Hughes’ Louisiana adaptation of

Lowcountry she-crab soup to more exotic fare. Chef Daniel Causgrove of The Grill Room at the Windsor Court composed a sampling of bites including watermelon, watermelon gelee, ginger-glazed pork belly, blue crab, mint and chilies. Sara Toth of Dickie Brennan’s Steakhouse combined sweet and savory elements in beef cheek cannoli dusted with marrow powder. Cibugnu’s Nick Vella served pecansmoked red snapper crudo with tomato water and snapper cracklings. Chris Shortall from Beachbum Berry’s Latitude 29 served short ribs with coconut rice and herbs in miniature Chinese food take-out boxes. When the votes were tallied, Womax’s short rib dish earned him the trophy and a $1,000 cash prize. “We didn’t expect to win,” he says. “We were talking about the next night’s

specials when they called our name. It was awesome.” Womax chose to highlight the type of cooking he does at Brown Butter, which focuses on Southern dishes, or Southern ingredients in reworked dishes, such as a Korean-style approach to pork belly and oysters served with collard green kimchi. Though he grew up in LaPlace, Womax wanted his restaurant to stand apart from the abundance of Cajun and Creole restaurants. Before opening Brown Butter last year, he and a couple partners had been planning to open a gastropub, which they developed as the supper club The Salty Swine. When one of the partners took a job with a hotel restaurant, Womax and Simon Beck opened Brown Butter in Mid-City. Chef Brad Andries of Sac-a-Lait won second place for braised duck tongue and

chanterelle mushroom confit with local goat cheese and summer sweet potato grits. Duck tongues are an uncommon ingredient, and given their size, not easy to butcher. But Andries wanted to do something adventurous that reflected his approach at Sac-a-Lait, the Warehouse District restaurant that opened in March. “We wanted to do something unique but stay true to ourselves,” he says. “It’s a braised dish. … You have to confit the mushrooms, add the duck tongues … and I used a duck stock.” Sac-a-Lait is named for the small fish, aka white perch or crappie, that are common in fishing waters around Baton Rouge, where Andries grew up. At the restaurant, Andries takes a refined approach to rustic ingredients and dishes. PAGE 16

“It’s what we grew up hunting and fishing,” he says. “It’s putting that bounty on a plate.” At Sac-a-Lait, the menu ranges from deviled crab and fried quail to oyster spaghetti using mustard green vermicelli and sausagelike duck chaudin, made with house-cured bacon. Toth, who is Chef de Cuisine at Dickie Brennan’s, was looking for a less common piece of beef to work into a dish. She chose to use beef cheeks in a cannoli topped with bordelaise reduction and marrow powder mixed with confectioners sugar. “One man looked at it and said, ‘Oh, I’ll be back for dessert,’” Toth says. Guests liked the dish, and it won third place in the competition. Toth has worked at Dickie Brennan Restaurant Group kitchens for 10 years, starting at Palace Cafe. She took an early interest in baking bread, and she spent five years as the pastry chef at Bourbon House before moving to the steakhouse, where she became chef de cuisine. For wine dinners at the steakhouse, she has mixed sweet and savory elements and created dishes similar to the beef cheek cannoli. “I like to keep things playful,” Toth says. “This is a chance to stretch your legs and do something a little different.”

An American tale By Andrea Blumenstein

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > JULY 21 > 2015

estled in the National World War II Museum’s sprawling 6-acre campus is The American Sector (945 Magazine St., 504-528-1940; www. nationalww2museum.org/americansector), a museum restaurant serving creative takes on classic American fare. As the restaurant approaches the oneyear anniversary of its transition from Besh Restaurant Group management to Centerplace Corporation, chef de cuisine Eric Cook jokes that the first major hurdle of the shift was letting people know that American Sector was still open. “[The transition was] one of the greatest challenges of my career,” Cook says. Along with executive chef Raymond St. Pierre Jr., Cook is meeting the challenge with the menu’s third iteration. The offerings nod to the 1940s by using canned and pickled food and local produce. A former Marine, Cook channels the Greatest Generation’s Victory Gardens by sourcing food locally and partnering with regional purveyors. “The goal for me is to intertwine the museum and its history with our restaurant to make it one campus with one goal and one mission,” says Cook, who was born and raised in New Orleans. His Southern roots make a mark on the menu. “I get to go back in time and remember where I came from … and use these great classic New Orleans dishes and classic French techniques that underlie everything on our menu,” he says. Hidden under the “Snacks and Small Plates” section of the menu is his grandmother’s oyster dressing, served on The Peacemaker, with P&J oysters and applewood-smoked bacon. Other dishes include Mississippi rabbit fricasee with stewed tomatoes, popcorn rice

and blackened cornbread, and Sous chef the Local Farm Desmond PeterPork Chop: son serves a acorn-fed pork dessert at The from Chappapeela American Sector. Farm served P H OTO BY C H ER Y L G ER B ER with dirty rice, green apple glaze and cracklings. The American Sector boasts a large patio, dining room and bar seating. Happy hour is 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. daily and features specials on drinks and small plates. Through a partnership with New Orleans Ice Cream Company, the sole ice cream supplier for both American Sector and the Jeri Nims Soda Shop, an exclusive dessert is in the works. The “Po-boy” will feature Creole cream cheese ice cream sandwiched between two cookie bars hand-dipped in ganache. This dessert will join other sweets such as cheesecake with lemon, cream cheese, graham cracker crust and Victory Garden Preserves and Wartime Poundcake topped with berries and vanilla ice cream. A number of special events are on the horizon. On Thursdays from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., the restaurant offers Dinner + History: The WWII Museum After Dark. Customers receive a “ration card” that grants access to the museum’s newest exhibit, “The Road to Berlin.” Dinner After Dark is a monthly dining series where a five-course menu pairs cocktails featuring the spirit of the month. “[It’s] a great way to have an intimate evening with friends,” Cook says. “The menu showcases the level of culinary experience that we still have at the Sector and never let go of.”

ASK BUDDY BATISTE

Has it ever snowed in New Orleans? I remember the first time I saw snow. I remember going outside and playing in it and how goofy everyone was acting. My parents took a whole bunch of pictures of our house, too. I didn’t remember what year that was, but my dad said it was 2008. And then he said the last time it had snowed before that was during Christmas of 2004 and that Katrina happened the next year. So that made me wonder: How many times has it snowed in New Orleans? I can’t go back to the beginning of time, but when I looked it up, the National Weather Service says that it has snowed 17 times in New Orleans since 1850. That doesn’t count what they call traces of snow. The National Weather Service says it has to be a “measurable amount.” I guess that means enough to build a snowman.

Pop-up restaurants French Pickl’er, Little Bird and We’ve Got Soul announced new plans. Little Bird, a new pop-up from Coquette’s Michael Stoltzfus and Meauxbar chef Kristen Essig, is serving Southern-inspired dishes at the Lower Garden District whiskey bar Barrel Proof (1201 Magazine St., 504299-1888; www.barelproofnola.com). “It’s more or less Kristen and myself just having some fun,” Stoltzfus says. “We live across the street, and it’s really tough to get food in that neighborhood, especially late at night.” Stoltzfus says he and Essig worked on the concept for some time and figured the slow summer months, when staffing at their respective restaurants was more flexible, would be a good time to debut the pop-up. Its debut menu included half of a chicken with bread and butter pickles and buttermilk ranch dressing; Broadbent country ham with peach mustard aioli and ciabatta; pork tamales; and “Southern jars,” featuring a selection of pimiento cheese, smoked catfish and egg salad spreads served with crackers. For desert, there is butterscotch pudding with a bacon blondie and Chantilly cream. Stoltzfus expects to change the menu, but says diners can expect some type of chicken dish. “Our whole idea is that we wanted to do something like bar food, but we also wanted people to also be able to come in and sit down and have a meal.” Stoltzfus says most items are $10 or less. Diners who order the entire menu will get a discount. Last week the entire set of dishes went for $40. Little Bird serves food starting at 5 p.m. Wednesday to Sunday, and closes at midnight on weekdays and 1 a.m. on weekends. Local pickle peddler French Pickl’er (www.frenchpicklerpreserves.com) will debut a new pop-up in the not-yetopened Shank Charcuterie (2352 St. Claude Ave.). French Pickl’er has sold pickled vegetables and fruit preserves at the Crescent City Farmers Markets for the past year. “Basically, what we’re trying to do is food that is inspired by pickles, and there’s a light French theme as well,” says Daniel Boyer, who runs the business with his fiancee, Kelle McFarland. Boyer’s friend Kristopher Doll, who runs the charcuterie stand at neighboring St. Roch Market (2381 St. Claude Ave., 504-609-3813; www.strochmarket.com), offered the space across the street, which will be home to Doll’s Shank Charcuterie.

t Salon by Sucre, the French Quarter restaurant from chef and co-owners Tariq Hanna and Joel Dondis, everything is served with an air of sophistication and elegance. French fries are served with caviar, afternoon tea comes with cucumber finger sandwiches and classic cocktails feature brandied cherries and spicy onions brined in house. The two-story Salon has much to offer, including sweets, cocktails, tea and full-service dining. Fans of the confectioner’s chic Uptown and Metairie boutiques will recognize the style of the polished downstairs of the newest location, tucked into a tiny storefront on Conti Street. Tourists and locals toting shopping bags line up to ogle the selection of expertly decorated tarts, brightly colored macarons and delicate cakes and desserts. A winding staircase leads to a bright and airy lounge and dining area, complete with modern light fixtures, distressed mirrors, high ceilings and white brick walls. Guests can sidle up to a cocktail at the long, white marble bar or take a seat at one of the plush, gray banquettes that line the windows overlooking the Louisiana Supreme Court building on Royal Street. A long dining room in the back of the building offers more intimate dining space. The lunch and afternoon menu includes bar snacks, sandwiches and salads and an afternoon tea presentation featuring assorted finger sandwiches, pastries and confections, including the shop’s signature pastel-colored macarons. Frizzle sticks — lightly fried breadsticks made from pretzel dough — are paired with smooth Gorgonzola dolce cream that packs a tangy punch and is similar to a fonduta — perfect for dipping. A selection of charcuterie is accompanied by mustard and briny cornichons and featured in the charcuterie sandwich — a meat-lover’s dream in which Italian salami, Spanish lomo and pork rillettes are tucked into a crusty baguette dressed with whole-grain mustard. Thick wedges of bold, pungent Grayson cheese pair surprisingly well with the meats and ooze out of the sandwich. Poached chicken salad is a step up from the usual lunch standby. Mixed baby greens are tossed in creamy lemon-tarragon dressing and topped with thick slices of juicy chicken breast. A heavy-handed sprinkling of granola adds a nice crunch to the dish but was too sweet, confusing the complementary flavors of the tarragon and chicken. Even the burgers come off as delicate and elegant. Tiny Wagyu beef “sliderettes” are topped with thick slices of cheddar and smoky, sweet bacon jam. They are served with thick, crispy

The pop-up is open 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays throughout July and August. We’ve Got Soul (www.wevegotsoul.com), the Marigny-based soul food pop-up, will move to the Riverbend in fall, setting up shop full-time inside Carrollton Station (8140 Willow St., 504-865-9190; www.carrolltonstation. com) Thursdays through Sundays. The pop-up started in 2012 at Marie’s bar in the Marigny and until recently was at Jims in Bywater, which closed. Tres Barnard, who hails from Mississippi, says his food will reflect “soul food flavors with classical French cooking techniques,” and the menu is subject to change weekly. Past menus have included Southern-inspired dishes such as crawfish and boudin egg rolls with Creole honey mustard, blackened Louisiana drum with chow chow butter and hot tamale pies made with smoked pork, green chilies and corn. The pop-up will host a kickoff party with live music for the opening Sept. 25. — HELEN FREUND

3-COURSE interview

Valdrie Collins Fishmonger

Hollygrove fishmonger Valdrie Collins sells whole fish and shrimp by the pound out of his tiny store From the Boat to You (3206 S. Carrollton Ave., 504-914-4509; www.fromtheboattoyou.com). A chef by trade, Collins started selling fish on the streets across New Orleans in 2012 after a bike accident forced him to close the restaurant he owned in Dallas. Collins spoke with Gambit about growing up fishing and hunting in New Orleans and starting his business.

How did you get into the business?

Collins: I’m a chef by trade. I had opened a barbecue place in Dallas, but after I got into a bike accident and crushed my ankle, I had to close the restaurant and eventually came back home. I was raised here in Hollygrove, and I grew up on Oleander Street. I learned how to walk again and had a few dollars left over and so I said, “Well, what do you want to do?” There was a guy over on Claiborne Avenue and he used to sell fish. So I stopped over one day. I was just being nosy and I asked him what you had to do to apply. From there, I got my mobile license and started setting up on the side of the road, running all over the city selling fish. I was the fish man. After a while, I started setting up in this one spot, and I wound up getting this place, which was empty. So little bit by little bit, I fixed the place up.

Where do your fish come from and what kinds do you sell?

How do you like to cook fish?

C: This industry isn’t a summer or winter thing. People will eat seafood all year round. You can cook (fish) all kinds of ways. I like to make curry shrimp. Baking is an easy way to go: salt, pepper, garlic pepper and some fresh lemon — you cannot go wrong. A lot of people are scared of the heat, but 450 degrees is not hot and 350 (degrees) takes too long. You want your fish to immediately start cooking. If you’re cooking it at a low temperature, you’re almost poaching it; it’ll get soft and mushy. You want it to start cooking right away. I love thyme and oregano and rosemary. I love the way herbs make that buttery flavor pop.

GAMBIT > BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM > JULY 21 > 2015

C: I do strictly Louisiana: redfish, flounder, black drum, sheepshead — stuff like that. I also do some yellowtail snapper and tilapia, but none of the high-end stuff. I’m a licensed wholesale retailer, so everything is directly from the boat. I deal directly with the shrimpers and the fishermen; I go directly to the source. I deal with a lot of guys out of St. Bernard Parish because those boys are right at our back door. If those guys aren’t catching anything, you might have someone in Lafitte, right across the river. I started (fishing) when I was 7 or 8. My uncle taught me — he was a sportsman, big time. All of my uncles and all of my cousins on both sides of the family — we all hunt, we all fish. I hunt, too. I’m a sportsman. (I hunt) small game, everything: rabbits, raccoons, squirrels. I’m a country boy, so we do road kill and everything. I like to think I’ve got the best of both worlds: living in the city and the country. I’m a survivor, period. After (Hurricane) Katrina, you’ve got ducks running around, you’ve got game running around, you’ve got squirrels — why not? We were just trying to survive. Everyone thought we were crazy, but we were eating. We weren’t starving at all.

BEER buzz There are several notable beer events in New Orleans this week. On Thursday, Domenica (123 Baronne St., 504-648-6020; www.domenicarestaurant.com) hosts a five-course dinner featuring beer pairings from Saint Arnold Brewing Company. Courses include oysters on the half shell with cherries, walnuts and fig balsamic paired with the brewery’s Boiler Room Berliner Weisse, and field pea, mortadella and chanterelle country sausage served with Endeavor IPA. For dessert, butterscotch dolce s’mores are served with Bishops Barrel No. 10, a barleywine aged in Woodford Reserve bourbon barrels. The meal costs $85 (including tax and tip), and seating is limited. Visit www. shop.chefjohnbesh.com for infomation and to purchase tickets.

WINE of the week 2014 Territorial Vineyards Rose of Pinot Noir W IL L A ME T TE VA L L E Y, O REG O N RETAIL $17-$18

This delicious Oregon rose features all estate-grown fruit from vineyards nestled in the rolling hills of Willamette Valley’s coastal range. Founded in 2001, Territorial Vineyards practices sustainable, low-impact farming methods. Fruit for this wine was sourced from the gentle-sloping, 15-acre Bellpine Vineyard where sun-drenched days give way to cool nights, a swing in daily temperatures pinot noir grapes demand. After harvest, the wine was cold-soaked with minimal skin contact in stainless steel, fermented in the same vats and exposed to a touch of French oak before bottling. The dry, complex and well-crafted wine offers refreshing flavors of watermelon, pink grapefruit and strawberry with a backbone of bright acidity. Drink it with boiled seafood, barbecued chicken and ribs, grilled sausages, roasted vegetables, salads, cheeses and desserts. Buy it at: Brady’s Wine Warehouse and Faubourg Wines. Drink it at: Irene’s Cuisine, K-Paul’s Louisiana Kitchen, CellarDoor, Apres Lounge, Dick & Jenny’s, Bacchanal Wine and Louisiana Pizza Kitchen. — BRENDA MAITLAND Email Brenda Maitland at winediva1@bellsouth.net

State Property Reunion featuring Beanie Sigel, Freeway and Young Gunz

This State Property Reunion Concert needs some explanation. Like the Bad Company of hip-hop, State Property is many things: a film (released in 2002, starring Beanie Sigel and Jay Z); a soundtrack (featuring Beanie Sigel and produced by Jay Z, unsurprisingly outstripping the film); a group (see above, signed by Jay Z to Roc-A-Fella Records); and a Rocawear-spinoff clothing line (you get the picture). Anything Jay Z can do, Beanie JULY State Property Reunion featuring Beanie Sigel, Sigel can do smaller. But sometimes better: Sigel’s 2005 LP The Freeway and Young Gunz B. Coming — cut in the months 10 p.m. Thursday between being convicted on drug The Howlin’ Wolf and weapon charges and the start of a federal prison sentence 907 S. Peters St. — is arguably the best album by (504) 522-5844 either artist in the past decade, a filler-free roundhouse kick with www.thehowlinwolf.com the amber glow of ’70s deep soul. Sigel has a long and checkered history with law and order, yet along with his Philadelphia State Property crew (Freeway, Young Gunz), he’s also one of the most honest MCs around and an absolute savant at choosing the perfect producer for a track for a specific mood. (See his dead-on collaboration with Heavy D on the sax-sighing “Feel It In the Air,” or just about any other song on The B. Coming.) After recuperating from a nearly fatal gunshot wound late last year and squashing a longstanding beef with Jay Z onstage in May, Sigel has reformed State Property for what promises to be a familial parade of South Philly sluggers (Freeway, Young Gunz and “more”). There’s nothing like a brush with death to bring someone back to life. Tickets $30. — NOAH BONAPARTE PAIS

Trainwreck Directed by Judd Apatow Starring Amy Schumer, Bill Hader, John Cena, LeBron James Wide release

There’s a lot of potential lurking inside Trainwreck, Judd Apatow’s fifth movie as director and the first film written by and starring comedian Amy Schumer. Apatow is a former standup comic who innovated the “bromantic” comedy by writing and directing popular movies like The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up. These films tend to focus on close friendships among young male characters suffering from arrested development and feature an ensemble of talented actors Apatow helped make famous, including Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Jason Segel and Paul Rudd. But as a creative force, Apatow sometimes seems to have peaked early, working on groundbreaking and widely admired TV programs such as Freaks and Geeks and The Larry Sanders Show. Even a lengthy and fawning interview with Apatow in the current issue of Rolling Stone damns the filmmaker with faint praise by describing him as the most “prominent” guy in film comedy, instead of the funniest, most innovative or influential. As creator and star of Comedy Central’s sketch comedy series Inside Amy Schumer and in her career as a standup comedian, Schumer has developed a ribald and often dark style of humor with a sharp feminist edge. She would seem the perfect antidote to Apatow’s cinematic boys’ club and his mostly safe and conventional films. While Schumer’s intermittently hilarious one-liners and offbeat screen presence initially elevate Trainwreck, the film gradually embraces romantic-comedy conventions and misses the opportunity to explore uncharted territory. There probably won’t be a funnier movie at the multiplex this summer, but Trainwreck is more about the older and more established Apatow bringing Schumer into his pre-existing world than vice versa. Apatow encouraged Schumer to put a lot of her own life into the screenplay, a technique that has proved essential to her career so far. In Trainwreck, she plays Amy, a staff writer for a crass men’s magazine called S’Nuff, who hasn’t been successful in relationships with men. She can’t seem to stay faithful to her current beau Steven (John Cena) and generally uses sex as a barrier to real intimacy. Assigned a story on superstar sports doctor Aaron Conners (Bill Hader), she finds herself actually liking him and confronted with the scary proposition of couplehood. Can they overcome their differences and allow true love to prevail? Conners’ status in the sports world allows for Trainwreck’s strangest conceit, which is to bring an endless parade of star athletes (awkwardly playing themselves) into a major Hollywood movie. LeBron James actually gets a full supporting role as Conners’ best friend and would-be advisor on his love life, and it’s hard to tell whether or not his bizarre presence is intended as self-parody. By the time we get to Amar’e Stoudemire, Tony Romo, basketball announcer Marv Albert and many others, Trainwreck is in danger of going off the rails in a doomed attempt to draw male sports fans to a mainstream romantic comedy. Apatow’s primary gift may be his ability to identify talented comedic actors and give them the opportunities they need to advance their careers, and in that sense he’s a great match for Schumer. Trainwreck will make her a movie star, if that’s what she chooses to be. You’ve got to hope Schumer will aim a little higher, just as Trainwreck might have done. — KEN KORMAN

REVIEW

Group show by Feral

It’s been said that history is written by the victors, and art history often seems to have been written to reflect the cultures of Europe and the U.S. Lately, however, Latin American art has received some long overFeral: New work by due recognition, with Mexico City THRU Christian Castaneda, emerging as a regional epicenter. AUG Benjamin Sagols, These works by Mexico City’s Feral Jorge Rosano Gamboa, art collective initially may suggest Roberto Flores and familiar conceptual or minimal art themes, but look a little deeper and Mariana Magdaleno they reflect something stranger, The Front as if the looser threads of ordinary 4100 St. Claude Ave. reality came unraveled and were whimsically rewoven by a cabal of (504) 383-4075 metaphysical modernists. www.nolafront.org Visitors are greeted by a line — a long horizontal tangle of pencil lines collectively drawn on the wall with an invitation to visitors to participate in creating “infinity.” Mariana Magdaleno’s tie me up installation of ink drawings of eyes on paper ovals connected by a web of string reflects what she calls “the connection power that exists between people when eyes meet each other.” Jorge Rosano Gamboa’s hanging paper scrolls with solitary lines of ink celebrate the “gravity spirits,” while evocative imprints left in carbon black on the wall by the artist’s animated body are titled vulture (after a Mexican transformation ritual). Works by Christian Castaneda and Benjamin Sogols include walls covered with oversized replicas of face-down tarot cards that radiate portentous uncertainty — a quality echoed in Castaneda’s “interventions,” darkly painted graphic forms that confront the visitor like inexplicable shadows or mysterious omens. Things take a spectral turn in Roberto Flores’ closet door (pictured) — a video of the artist painting the outlines of a door on a blank wall that is, in turn, projected on to the gallery’s side door, suggesting some sort of Home Depot portal to another dimension. It is reassuring to note the speculative approach to time and space found in Latin American fiction is alive and well in the work of the Feral collective. — D. ERIC BOOKHARDT

The Importance of Being Earnest 7:30 p.m. Thu.-Fri. 1:30 p.m. & 7:30 p.m. Sat. Tulane University, Lupin Theater (504) 865-5106 www.neworleansshakespeare.org

“It is such a terrible thing for a man to find out suddenly that all his life he has been speaking nothing but the truth,” Jack Worthing says to Gwendolen Fairfax, whom he wishes to marry. “Can you forgive me?” It’s one of the many wickedly funny lines Oscar Wilde concocted to mock Victorian-era British society’s stifling preference for propriety over honesty. In The Importance of being Earnest, currently running at New Orleans Shakespeare Festival at Tulane, all the jokes are served with white gloves and silver platters. When prompted by his employer, Lane (Jason Carter) gamely agrees that his own lower class life as a butler is too boring and meaningless to merit contemplation. While the socialites in the farce publicly adhere to suffocating mores and prejudices, Algernon Moncrieff (Patrick Bowen) and Jack (James Bartelle) confide in one another that they both find relief by engaging in deceit. They respectively invented a brother and friend who live elsewhere and serve as handy excuses to dodge people and parties they wish to avoid. Algernon even masks his fraud with a self-flattering claim of virtue and charity. As the two men woo women they actually like, the ruses become harder to maintain — a comic device that makes the play timeless. Despite the stuffy Victorian setting, director Jessica Podewell keeps the play moving at a brisk pace and the humor is sharp. The play opens with Algernon enjoying finger sandwiches in his wellappointed London home when Jack arrives. Algernon has deduced that Jack has kept secrets from him and wishes to know about a previously unacknowledged woman named Cecily Cardew (Julia DeLois). They’re interrupted by the extremely proper and imposing Lady Bracknell (Clare Moncrief) and her daughter Gwendolen (Lyndsay Kimball). When it’s revealed that Jack wishes to marry Gwendolen, Bracknell interrogates him, particularly about his family lineage, net worth and if he has chosen properties in the appropriate areas. Though Jack is perfectly engaging, his accounts seem deficient. In the second act, the socialites separately make their way to Jack’s country home to investigate further their separate interests. Algernon falls for Cecily, a young woman being tutored by Miss Prism (Tracey Collins), a woman who has committed the socially embarrassing act of writing a novel. The change of location leads to confusion about identities, particularly about who Ernest Worthing is, and the social fabric starts to unravel. Bartelle stands out as the well-meaning Jack and has perfect comic timing for his many unwitting pronouncements. Bowen revels in Algernon’s pomposity, and Moncrief is hilarious as the humorless social enforcer. Following Cymbeline, it’s another well-polished and entertaining production from Tulane Shakespeare this summer. — WILL COVIELLO
