SEVEN THINGS TO DO IN SEVEN DAYS

Daniel Caesar

Basket case

FRI. SEPT. 6 | In February, Canadian crooner Daniel Caesar won a Best R&B Performance Grammy for “Best Part,” and he released his second album, “Case Study 01” in June. Koffee opens at 7 p.m. at The Fillmore at Harrah’s New Orleans.

Hannibal the Cannibal helps Clarice hunt a serial killer in “Silence!, The Musical,” opening at AllWays Lounge.

Lilli Lewis Project album release FRI. SEPT. 6 | Lilli Lewis, general manager of Louisiana Red Hot Records, leads her six-piece band on keyboards and vocals through a broad mix of soul, funk, rock, blues and more. The album “We Belong” highlights her singing in easy-listening arrangements melding R&B, soul and jazz. At 8 p.m. at Marigny Opera House.

BY WILL COVIELLO THE LAMBS ARE NOT SILENT. Outfit-

ted with fleece forearms and ears, they bleat, sing, dance and preen.

They even have personalities, and the chorus of lambs is divided into cliques of snooty lambs, curious lambs and others.

In the 1991 Academy Award-winning film “The Silence of the Lambs,” the sheep were mostly in FBI agentin-training Clarice Starling’s nightmares. The psychopathic psychiatrist Dr. Hannibal Lecter coaxed her into sharing that fear with him, but it was one of the more manageable horrors in a crime thriller filled with serial killers and their depraved obsessions.

In “Silence! The Musical,” which The Storyville Collective and Doctuh Mistuh Productions open Friday at the Twilight Room at AllWays Lounge, there’s plenty of lambs swirling around the strange liaison between Clarice and Lecter, all framed by the conventions of romantic Broadway musicals.

The show was hatched as a collection of songs writers Jon and Al Kaplan posted on the internet in 2003.

They later developed a full show with a book by Hunter Bell, who wrote “[title of show].” It premiered in 2005 as part of the New York International Fringe Festival. “Silence” had a 500show run off-Broadway from 2011 to 2013 and attracted a host of top New York stage actors who wanted to play Lecter, says director Michael McKelvey, who runs Summer Lyric Theatre at Tulane University and The Storyville Collective.

“The Silence of the Lambs” spawned a host of phrases that live on in popular culture, notably including Buffalo Bill’s instructions to a woman he imprisons, “It places the lotion in the basket.” “Silence! The Musical” uses many of the memorable quotes as the inspirations for songs

THU. SEPT. 5 | Denver, Colorado may not be the jazziest or funkiest American city, but The Motet has perfected its groove over two decades and built a following on the festival circuit. Carey Russell, keyboardist for Colorado funk and soul band Magic Beans, opens at 9 p.m. at Tipitina’s.

Who Dat Nation Rally & Music Festival or humor. Some of the musical has rough language, and though there’s precious little nudity, there’s some.

Hannah Rachal stars as Clarice, but she also essentially plays Jodie Foster playing Clarice, with a thick rural West Virginia accent and an exaggerated lisp. Clarice wants to become an FBI agent, but in the musical, she doesn’t seem witty or alert enough to keep up with the criminals, and all the men try to distract her with romantic overtures.

Kevin Murphy plays the childisly vain and crazily erudite Lecter. He turns the signature menacing whisper Anthony Hopkins gave Lecter into an solicitous hiss, whether he’s reading Clarice’s mind, evaluating a person’s psychological foibles or listing the nicknames of bizarre sexual acts he believes Clarice’s boss has fantasized about while sending her on assignment. But in the end, this Lecter is more desperate for attention than human flesh, fava beans and chianti.

Matt Reed plays Clarice’s father Papa Starling. Trey Ming is the industrious Buffalo Bill. Elyse McDaniel is both Catherine and her mother, Sen. Ruth Martin. Many actors play multiple roles and there is a regular flock of lambs swirling about the stage.

Jefferson Turner provides the music.

McKelvey’s Storyville Collective and Doctuh Mistuh Productions produced an award-winning version of “Silence!

The Eastbank All-Stars, a Little League baseball team in River Ridge, made history by winning the Little League World Series in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The team’s Reece Roussel set another record with a .739 batting average for the series. Family members, fans and politicians held a welcome home rally for the team, and U.S. House Minority Whip Steve Scalise said he has talked to President Donald Trump about a White House visit for the All-Stars.

Katrin von Niederhausern outside Jamila’s Cafe during filming of the reenactment of Homer Simpson’s culinary tour of New Orleans.

HOW TWO TOURISTS RECREATED NEW ORLEANS ‘SIMPSONS’ VIDEO Hotel Peter and Paul, the

beautifully restored property on the site of the deconsecrated Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in the Faubourg Marigny, was named one of TIME magazine’s “World’s Greatest Places to Stay.” The designation was given to only a few American hotels. Peter and Paul opened in 2018 after years of renovations by local hotelier Nathalie Jordi and the design firm ASH NYC.

WVUE-TV performed with

astonishing grace when the station’s journalists had to announce the death of their longtime colleague Nancy Parker in a fatal plane crash. They worked through their grief and within hours had put together video tributes to the award-winning anchorwoman and reporter, who was as warm, kind and down-toearth as she was talented. We extend our sympathies to her family, her work family and her many friends.

PERHAPS EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE THAN THE PRECISION of Swiss tourists Janine Wiget and Katrin von Niederhausern’s viral re-enactment of Homer and Lisa Simpson’s iconic culinary tour of New Orleans is the fact that the duo visited 54 New Orleans restaurants in a week to make it possible.

The minute-and-a-half video shows the scene from the 2018 “The Simpsons” episode “Lisa Gets the Blues” in which Homer eats his way through the city side-by-side with another video of Wiget and von Niederhausern recreating each shot themselves — eating the same foods at the same settings with the same facial expressions and mannerisms, all filmed from the same angles.

Wiget and von Niederhausern had visited New Orleans several times in the past few years and had another trip planned this summer. The friends have a tradition of commemorating their travels with videos (usually involving dancing), so when they watched the New Orleans-themed episode of “The Simpsons” together for the first time in February, they immediately knew what their next video would be.

“We actually came up with the idea both together,” Wiget said. “Like it’s clear that we need to do it because we both love ‘The Simpsons’ and we love the city so much.”

There was just one problem: Von Niederhausern would only be in the city for a week. Pulling this off, they realized, would require meticulous planning, ensuring the endeavor was as efficient as possible. They printed a storyboard of each shot in the TV scene as well as a giant map of the city — marking the locations of all the restaurants, their addresses and opening hours.

“We basically planned every day because we had to film about eight scenes every day, so we went to eight places every day,” Wiget said.

“So we didn’t have to drive back and forth so often we really had to schedule which restaurant are we visiting on which day.”

When the week arrived, Wiget and von Niederhausern set off with their map, storyboard, cellphones and tripod. For shots inside restaurants, the duo had to get staff and management in on the project, as PAGE 8

it required them to partake in some unusual activities.

Since they didn’t have the creative liberties with the shots that the animators of “The Simpsons” had, getting the right angle often meant moving furniture around, sitting or lying on the floor, setting tables on top of trash cans or in the streets and even entering construction zones.

“We were afraid that the people would not like it if we were doing this because maybe we were disturbing the guests and they don’t want us to do that,” Wiget said. “But actually all of them were really excited about it and so happy.”

The project proved to be a great way to get to know the city because it led them to meet people and visit restaurants they otherwise may have never visited.

Their favorite? Betsy’s Pancake House. They visited on a Sunday morning, when the restaurant was crowded and ordered a stack of more than a dozen pancakes.

“All the ladies that were working there were so lovely, and they were so excited about the project,” Wiget said. “When they came out with the plate of pancakes, the whole restaurant turned silent. That was just a funny moment.”

Wiget estimates the endeavor cost about $500. For some of the po-boy scenes shot outside restaurants, they were able to rearrange the sandwiches and reuse them, which helped reduce costs. Plus, they saved money by not going out every night.

The video has amassed about 600,000 views on YouTube since being published Aug. 23. But Wiget said they did not expect the video to be such a hit while creating it.

“Very often, like several times in the day, we were asking ourselves, what are we doing here? We are in New Orleans, we could all just enjoy the vacation and see the live music and go dancing, but instead we’re doing this all day long,” she said. “But yeah, we still did it, and it really was just a fun project.” — KAYLEE POCHE

NOPL to eliminate late library fines for ‘youth materials’

3717 Veterans Blvd 2561 Metairie Road 3013 Magazine Street www.phinashop.com

Last year the New Orleans Public Library (NOPL) eased fines for materials returned late by providing auto renewal for books and items that weren’t being requested by another patron.

Now it’s going one step further: discontinuing late fines entirely for “youth materials.”

“With 44% of New Orleans third-graders being unable to read at a third-grade level and 40% of New Orleans high school students being held back at least one grade,” NOPL said in a statement, “the Library

wants to do all that it can to ensure that youth materials are always accessible to everyone.”

The new policy went into effect Sept. 1.

“Late fines for books, CDs and DVDs are $.20 per day and while that is a relatively small amount, it can quickly add up over time and often results in not only lost materials, but lost Library users,” NOPL’s statement says. “This especially impacts children and teens who can’t always control when they can get to a Library to return materials.”

Any materials that are checked out for more than 90 days will be charged to the user’s account.

NOPL also is participating in Mayor LaToya Cantrell’s “summer amnesty” program, which provides a one-time waiver program for fees up to $100.

That program ends Sept. 3.

September voter registration deadlines approaching Election Day is approaching sooner than you might think — and voter registration deadlines will be here even sooner.

The Oct. 12 ballot will contain both local and statewide races, including primaries for governor, secretary of state and lieutenant governor.

The deadline to register to vote in this election is Sept. 11 (in person or by mail). Those registering online through the GeauxVote portal on the secretary of state’s website have until Sept. 21 to register.

Early voting for the Oct. 12 election is Sept. 28-Oct. 5 (not including Sunday, Sept. 29) from 8:30 a.m.-6 p.m. Individuals who need absentee ballots must request them by Oct. 8 at 4:30 p.m. and get them to the Registrar of Voters via mail by Oct. 11 at 4:30 p.m. (with the exception of military and overseas voters).

If no candidate receives a majority of the vote during the primary, there will be a runoff election Nov. 16 between the two candidates who received the highest numbers of votes.

The deadline to register to vote in the general elections is Oct. 16 in person or by mail and Oct. 26 online.

Early voting for the runoff begins Nov. 2 and ends Nov. 9 (with the exception of Sunday, Nov. 3) from 8:30 a.m.-6 p.m. Absentee ballots must be requested by 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 12 and received by the Registrar of Voters by 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 15.

New Orleanians to rally for change at We the People March Sept. 21 With the absence of the Women’s March in New Orleans this year, some residents were looking for another

march to participate in — one that would cover a wide array of issues and bring people together. Co-organizer Cynthia Sheridan hopes the We the People March on Saturday, Sept.

21 will fill that void.

Sheridan said the march is for people who are unhappy with government leaders and want to advocate for a variety of social justice issues.

“You don’t have to necessarily agree with every position everybody takes who comes to this march,” she said, “but come to show that you believe that there needs to be a change in our government right now.”

The event will be a solidarity march with the national We the People March on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. But New Orleans organizers will add local flair to the mix with a second line, costumes and art. Sheridan also said she plans to work with a local group to create puppets as tall as 5 feet.

“We’re encouraging people to be expressive and to be New Orleanians, so it could be anything,” Sheridan said. “We want it to be not necessarily a party atmosphere but an atmosphere of coming together and restoring our energy.”

The march starts in front of Louis Armstrong Park and march to New Orleans City Hall, where various social justice organizations — including prison rights, immigrant rights and environmental activist groups — will offer information about their services and how to join.

“A lot of these grassroots organizations have needs, and if people hear about them at this one networking event, then hopefully they will get some of those needs met,” Sheridan said.

The rally will last from noon to 2 p.m. — KAYLEE POCHE

Attention candidates for public office Gambit soon will interview candidates who are interested in the paper’s endorsement in the Oct. 12 primary.

Preseason is over — political preseason, that is THE SEASON GETS INTO FULL SWING THIS WEEK

— and not just football season, though we’re as excited as anyone to see the New Orleans Saints back for another year.

We’re talking about the political season, which has been at a low simmer since qualifying ended in August but is ready to reach full boil soon.

The governor’s race tops the ballot, of course.

Incumbent Gov. John Bel Edwards, a pro-life, progun Democrat, will tout the benefits of his expanding Medicaid in Louisiana as well as his sound fiscal stewardship, which has produced Louisiana’s first surpluses in almost a decade. Edwards’ Republican challengers, U.S. Rep. Ralph Abraham and businessman Eddie Rispone, will attack him on several fronts, but so far their ads mostly emphasize three things: their defense of the Second Amendment, their faith in God and their unwavering support for President Donald Trump.

Abraham and Rispone are still introducing themselves to many voters, and both hope to face Edwards in a Nov. 16 runoff — if one is necessary. If Edwards doesn’t win a majority in the primary and faces a Republican in November, Trump may well join the effort to unseat the Deep South’s only Democratic governor.

Lieutenant Gov. Billy Nungesser, Attorney General Jeff Landry, Treasurer John Schroder Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon and Agriculture Commissioner Mike Strain all seek re-election as well. The race for agriculture commissioner features the first statewide candidate for the Democratic Socialists, Margee Green, who undoubtedly will find tough sledding in a state as deep-red as Louisiana.

Jefferson Parish voters have a lot on the line, starting with the all-powerful sheriff’s job, where incumbent Joe Lopinto once again faces former Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office spokesman John Fortunato in what is already a bitter contest. There’s also a red-hot race for parish president between two well-known politicos, Cynthia Lee Sheng and John Young, while the

Council At-Large, Division B contest is a generational fight between veteran pol Paul Johnston against businessman and former TV anchor Scott Walker.

The ballot is often long and crowded during statewide election cycles, but this year ballot lengths vary considerably. For example, 11 candidates filed for the District 3 seat on the Jefferson Parish Council, whereas District 4 Councilman Dominick Impastato won re-election early when his sole opponent dropped out of the race. Many area legislative races likewise have been decided already. In some cases, incumbents failed to draw opponents; in others, challengers withdrew or courts declared them ineligible for failing to file income tax returns or for not meeting residency requirements. Overall, the Legislature will have many new faces next year because scores of incumbents are being forced out by term limits.

Early voting, which has become increasingly important in recent years as more and more voters opt for that convenience, begins Sept.

28. That’s less than a month away.

While we’re all getting fired up for the Saints to take the field again, it’s important to look just as closely at the field of candidates.

Higher assessments trigger political storm warnings

WHAT DO YOU TRULY LOVE ABOUT NEW ORLEANS?

MORE THAN A MONTH BEFORE HURRICANE DORIAN

threatened to enter the Gulf of Mexico, property owners in New Orleans faced a different kind of storm surge — significantly higher property assessments. Higher assessments almost always lead to higher property taxes, which in turn trigger pushback from property owners.

Assessor Erroll Williams and his staff have already gotten an earful during the annual period of open assessment rolls. That’s when taxpayers can seek relief directly from the assessor — or file formal appeals.

The Louisiana Constitution mandates reassessments every four years, which is a long time in a hot real estate market like New Orleans. Some homeowners reported increases of 100% or more.

On Sept. 4, about the time Dorian is expected to enter the Gulf, Williams will submit the final formal appeals of his latest assessment rolls to the City Council. The council sits as the Board of Review, or the court of first resort for property owners seeking a break in their assessments. It’s a painstaking process for all involved.

On one hand, council members want to help their constituents. On the other hand, they need to make sure the city gets its share of tax revenues to provide services.

Then there’s the Byzantine “roll back, roll forward” exercise. The state constitution requires entities that receive property tax revenues to “roll back” their tax millages to levels that make reassessments revenue neutral. That happens automatically, as a matter of law.

However, those same tax-recipient entities may, by a two-thirds vote, “roll forward” their millages up to the levels they were before reassessment — thereby generating more revenue … and hiking property taxes.

That’s another reason why city council members are nervous. They will face pressure from constituents not only to reduce assessments but also not to roll millages forward. At the same time, Mayor LaToya Cantrell

is expected to push for a roll forward to keep the city’s budget in balance.

All this comes just as the mayor is asking citizens to approve a 3-mill property tax for infrastructure on Nov. 16.

Talk about a storm approaching.

No doubt sensing where voters’ sentiments lie, the council recently adopted a resolution urging state lawmakers to consider a constitutional amendment mitigating the impacts of residential property reassessments. The council suggests forgoing quadrennial reassessments on homes subject to homestead exemptions in favor of fixed — or capped — annual or biennial assessment increases, which at least would be predictable (and subject to appeal). The council also recommends basing such assessments on the fair market value at the time of sale, donation, or transfer rather than current market value.

“The system is backward — taxing individuals on what they might receive if they sell their homes,” said District B Councilman Jay Banks, who authored the resolution. “We should only astronomically increase values if the value is actually captured by the owner.”

For his part, Williams wrote the council on Aug. 28 stating that he had already tried — unsuccessfully — to convince lawmakers to cap assessment hikes. He noted that 10 other states, including Arkansas and Texas, already cap reassessments.

Trading a cap for annual assessments makes sense, and it could gain traction in this election year. A lot can change in the wake of a storm.

Hey Blake, On the sidewalk entrance of a building at Royal and Bienville streets, there is a tile mosaic with a crest featuring the Monteleone name. What’s the connection to the Hotel Monteleone across the street?

Dear reader,

BLAKEVIEW THE HOTEL MONTELEONE CAN CLAIM creation of a classic New Orleans cock-

tail, the Vieux Carre. It was first introduced at the hotel’s famous Carousel Bar by head bartender Walter Bergeron in the 1930s. “He originated it, he says, to do honor to the famed Vieux Carre, that part of New Orleans where the antique shops and the iron lace balconies give sightseers a glimpse into the romance of another day,” Stanley Clisby Arthur wrote in his 1937 book “Famous New Orleans Drinks and How to Mix ’Em.” The drink is made with rye whiskey, cognac, Italian vermouth, Peychaud’s bitters, Angostura bitters and Benedictine liqueur. It remains the bar’s signature cocktail.

An even older New Orleans drink is the Ramos gin fizz, created by Henry C. Ramos in 1888. Ramos, whose 1928 obituary referred to him as “Carl,” popularized the drink at his Imperial Cabinet saloon at Gravier and Carondelet streets.

“Here it was that Henry Ramos served the gin fizz that departed so radically from the other frothy gin mixtures served in New Orleans saloons,” Arthur wrote.

His recipe explains that the drink is made by vigorously shaking dry gin, orange flower water, lime and lemon juice, an egg white, milk or cream, seltzer water, powdered sugar and vanilla extract. After Prohibition ended, the Roosevelt Hotel bought the rights to the Ramos recipe and it became a signature cocktail at the hotel, where it was Gov. Huey P. Long’s favorite drink.

ORLEANS SAINTS

ON SUPER BOWL SUNDAY 2019, MY FAMILY WENT DOWN TO THE FRENCH QUARTER. We set up on Decatur Street and joined a party. The crowd of New Orleanians in black and gold flowed toward Canal Street, its chant continuous: “We got robbed!”

Everyone was smiling.

That should not surprise anyone: Tens of thousands of us who gathered for an ostensible protest instead sang, danced and embraced. That’s what we do. The anti-Super Bowl parade we threw turned shared public anger over a dumb sports thing into a communal celebration.

The NFL stole our chance to have a Super Bowl party. So we threw an anti-Super Bowl party — and it was good.

New Orleans made a bad situation better by turning it into fun. But that doesn’t mean we’ve forgiven and forgotten. It doesn’t even mean that all of us are ready to do this football thing again. I know I wasn’t, not until the preseason was well underway.

I talked to some other Saints fans to see how they felt.

“I don’t think I’m over it and I know the fan base isn’t,” said Alan Wheat.

“It sits in my head, and when I see GIFs of it or whatever, it’s worth a head shake or an audible ugh.”

“I’m not one to let myself fester in sports grudges,” said Danielle Jeffcoat Wilson. “I let myself be angry for a bit, but at the end of the day, I can’t change it. It’s one of those things as a Saints fan you just kind of expect to happen. We are going to get screwed whether we do it to ourselves or someone else does it for us.”

timent among the fans. The idea that the NFL has it out for us dates back years now, at least to the 2012 Bountygate scandal, which the league mishandled so badly that Saints fans’ relationship to the sport has never recovered. When the no-call happened, we were primed to be angry, but also to understand the event as more of the same from a league we long since have known is not deserving of our trust.

Even so, Wilson’s ready for another go; As a lifelong Saints fan and native Louisianan, she has seen worse. “The Super Bowl didn’t spoil me,” she said. “ I understand the franchise I’m dealing with here.”

“I’d be lying if I said I didn’t scream ‘Challenge it!’ on literally every flag this preseason,” said Ryan Chauvin, my Black and Gold Review co-blogger-

4-0 DREW BREES TURNED 40 YEARS OLD THIS JANUARY. Before 41-year-old Patriots quarterback Tom Brady won Super Bowl LIII (so reports tell us, as no one in New Orleans actually watched the game) the oldest quarterback to win a Super Bowl was Peyton Manning, who was 39 years old when he won one with the Denver Broncos on February 7, 2016.

If Brees is, as his preseason appearance indicates, as good as ever, he’ll have a chance to become the second over-40 quarterback to take home a Lombardi Trophy. In fact, it would almost be a birthday present: Brees will turn 41 on Jan. 15, 2020, and Super Bowl LIV will happen in Miami a couple weeks later, on Feb. 2.

wanted chaos,” he added.

I asked an old friend for his take and he summed it up with a little poem he found on Reddit: “ROSES ARE RED VIOLETS ARE BLUE GOODELL FUCKED US NOW HE’LL FUCK YOU” Of course, nothing would help to heal the wounds of the no-call more than a whole bunch more wins, and the 2019 Saints seem positioned to win a lot. The core of young players they constructed with the 2016 and 2017 drafts, including wide receiver Michael Thomas, running back Alvin Kamara, cornerback Marshon Lattimore, and many others returns. Leaders like defensive end Cam Jordan and linebacker Demario Davis headline a defense that has a chance to be among the best the team has put on the field in years.

New acquisition Jared Cook, an explosive tight end, offers the Saints’ offense even more weapons than it had last year.

But two things have held me back from going all-in on another Super Bowl run. The first is the thing I referenced earlier, the thing that, until well into the preseason, kept me from fully engaging my football emotions.

The second is Drew Brees.

From opening week through Thanksgiving last year, Brees was having the best season of his career, and one of the greatest seasons by a quarterback in the history of the sport.

His efficiency numbers were off-the-charts great, he was setting records by the week, he was the leading candidate for the Most Valuable Player

award and the Saints were dispatching their opponents with remarkable ease.

Then, after the Saints’ 31-17 Turkey Day win over the Atlanta Falcons, things changed. The offense bogged down, and Brees’ numbers suffered. After scoring 44 points per game in four contests between Nov. 4 and Nov. 22, the Saints scored only 20 points per game over the next four.

Rumors flew, then and during the off-season, that this was it — Brees was done.

The long-dreaded decline had arrived, and soon the Saints would have to turn to backup quarterback and potential successor Teddy Bridgewater, or even to all-everything utility player Taysom Hill. Maybe, some fans whispered in hushed tones, this even could be for the best. The Saints could make a smooth transition.

Marshon Lattimore, Defensive Player of the Year?

IN 2017, CORNERBACK MARSHON LATTIMORE EXPLODED ONTO THE SCENE and won Defensive Rookie of the Year. He was one of the best corners in all of football. Last year, he was good — but not quite as good.

This year? Don’t be surprised if he’s an all-pro.

Over the past two years, no one has forced more combined interceptions and fumbles than Lattimore, who has 12. With that resume, and with a renewed focus, he’s got a chance in 2019 to launch himself to superstardom.

It’s been a long time since a cornerback won NFL Defensive Player of the Year. The last was Charles Woodson in 2009. Lattimore may not change that this year, but don’t be surprised if he’s at least in the conversation.

Los Angeles Rams’ Nickell Robey-Coleman’s blatant pass interference and helmet to helmet hit of Saints’ Tommylee Lewis during the NFC championship game Jan. 20 wasn’t called by referees on the field and may have cost the Saints a trip to the Super Bowl.

during the preseason, and some of us, including me, started to wonder if Brees was done and Bridgewater might not be up to the task of replacing him. The dark times loomed.

Then, in the third preseason game, against the New York Jets, Brees took the field. He threw six passes. The last one was the sort of sports art you don’t fully appreciate until you worry it might be gone, a perfect loft into the end zone, caught by Thomas for a touchdown. I laughed. It was a laugh of relief.

Brees is fine. He’s better than fine. As we enter the 2019 sea-

son, he’s still throwing with the impossible precision to which we’ve become inured.

That leaves me with only one other major concern, and it’s a simple one based on history. The 2018 Saints won 13 games. It is very difficult to win 13 games in the NFL, and it’s almost impossible to win 13 games in back-to-back seasons.

Since 1978, when the NFL’s regular season expanded to 16 games, teams have won 13 or more games in consecutive seasons only nine times. Of those nine, three of them are the achievement of the New England Patriots, who did it in 2003/2004, 2010/2011 and 2016/2017. The other six examples are by a smattering of teams over the years, including the Chicago Bears, Buffalo Bills, and San Francisco 49ers, who did it in 1989 and 1990.

The 49ers are an interesting case, because, while they did win the Super Bowl in 1989, they didn’t even make the Super Bowl in 1990. They did win PAGE 23

SAINTS FANS WHO REMEMBER PINT-SIZED SPEEDSTERS like former receiver/returner Michael “The Beer Man” Lewis and running back Darren Sproles were thrilled in the third preseason game by the sight of 5’6”, 170-pound rookie returner Deonte Harris outdistancing the Jets’ coverage and bringing a punt back 78 yards for a touchdown.

A consistent return game has been one of the elements missing from an otherwise balanced roster.

No Saints player has scored a touchdown on a punt return since running back Marcus Murphy did it against the Carolina Panthers in 2015. And other than one by Alvin Kamara in 2017, no Saint has scored a touchdown on a kickoff return since receiver Courtney Roby, way back in 2009.

Harris is the most exciting option the Saints have had in the return game in quite a while.

History does not determine the future, and these Saints may well replicate or exceed their regular season win total from last year.

But if, as I expect, they don’t — if the 2019 Saints win fewer games than the 2018 ones — that doesn’t mean this year’s team will fail to advance as far, or farther, than last year’s squad.

These Saints may “only” win 11 games this year. Don’t be alarmed. When it’s time for them to make a run for their now-overdue second Super Bowl berth, they’ll be ready for the attempt.

The goal for these Saints is to give New Orleans a very different, and even better, reason to throw a party on Super Bowl Sunday.

BY RE B EC C A F R I E D M A N AS THE SQUAWKING OVER FASTFOOD SANDWICHES subsides, many

of us are left with a craving for good fried chicken. Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken, which opened in July in the Warehouse District, is a solid contender to satisfy that desire.

Gus’s is an outpost of a brand that originated in Memphis and now has 29 locations across 13 states. While many of those are franchises, the New Orleans restaurant is corporate-owned. Gus’s tested our waters at the 2017 National Fried Chicken Festival and came away with third place (the Original Fiorella’s Cafe in Gentilly served the judges’ favorite).

Gus’s recipe dates back to 1953 and a family that built the chain from a Tennessee tradition to widespread, award-winning acclaim. Gus’s New Orleans location on South Diamond Street, has a display of framed articles and accolades. Those endorsements may reassure diners who feel curious about a Tennessee recipe or disloyal to local stalwarts such as Willie Mae’s Scotch House.

Gus’s helps new diners with information on its approach. Every table holds a sign with a treatise entitled “Why white bread…” and it explains the sandwich slices that accompany its chicken. The text acknowledges that the restaurant could serve biscuits or cornbread but doesn’t.

It even promises the business won’t be “upset” if diners bring their own biscuits.

Against that backdrop, we are encouraged to enjoy the chicken on its merits. And it is enjoyable. The crust is smoother and less craggy than that on pieces from Popeyes or Willie Mae’s but provides a satisfying crunch. Both white and dark meat is juicy, with just enough heat to linger at the back of the throat. Plates of

chicken or tenders are customizable by size and color (white or dark) and include baked beans, coleslaw and a slice of bread. A three-piece dark meat plate is $9.25, and sides can be substituted for an extra 50 cents.

Sides are straightforward, reminiscent of a good church potluck. Baked beans are sweet, which some might find cloying. The mild coleslaw mainly serves to offset the chicken’s heat, while mustard and pickles add tang to the potato salad. Creamy macaroni and cheese is topped with shredded cheddar and a dusting of paprika.

Gus’s isn’t a place to count calories.

There are no soups or salads, and the appetizer options are fried okra, fried pickles and fried green tomatoes.

The kitchen offers a small selection of vegetables but handles them well. Both okra and tomatoes arrive piping hot and firm within crisp cornmeal-battered exteriors. The greens (a side dish that contains pork) are cooked well and simply seasoned.

P H OTO B Y C H ER Y L G ER B ER

Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken specializes in Memphis-style spicy chicken.

Kids’ meals are available for $5.50, but apart from the grilled cheese sandwich, all chicken selections are hot and spicy.

Gus’s makes several varieties of pie.

Chocolate chess, served warm, is a knockout, and pecan is a solid option.

The restaurant offers full table service, and waitstaff are competent and friendly. Checkered vinyl tablecloths impart a picnic vibe, as do paper plates and plastic flatware, although they seem incongruous even with casual table service.

Gus’s brings its strong addition to a city that loves its chicken. It isn’t Willie Mae’s, but it’s not trying to be.

And, besides, haven’t we had enough arguing over fried chicken?

Time” or GOAT — and is made with goat’s milk caramel over dark chocolate goat’s milk ganache.

Piety owner and chocolatier Christopher Nobles created the piece to honor Brees.

“I usually start with a concept and let the concept drive the flavor,” Nobles says. The New Orleans native has found a few ways to plug his hometown team into his bonbon roster. “I’ve been cheering on the Saints since I was a kid,” he says.

Nobles is reviving the football-themed “Run It S’more,” featuring layers of “Alvin Kamara-mel,” “Marshmall-O-line” and a candied Pecan Payton on top. “We will have to figure something out for the ‘Mark Ingram cracker’ layer,” Nobles says of the former Saint.

Autumn also brings blood orange moons and duck fat caramels. They join regular items such as the Trust Fund Gutter Punk bonbon, a changing special crafted from odds and ends of experimental ganaches and fillings Nobles has on hand. A current version is flavored with Chambord.

Nobles launched Piety and Desire’s retail operation in 2017.

His weeklong production process progresses through roasting, grinding and tempering to produce his unique chocolate.

Eight contestants had 10 minutes to down as many Fat Boy’s 2-foot slices of cheese pizza as possible.

The challengers included several of the world’s elite competitive eaters: No. 1 ranked Chestnut (often called the “apex predator” of professional eating), second-ranked Geoffrey Esper, fourth-ranked Darren Breeden and ninth-ranked Adrian Morgan, a

New Orleanian. Members of the New Orleans Gold rugby team and Jocelyn Walker, the lone female participant, rounded out the field.

Chestnut crammed six and a half slices — 13 feet — of pizza into his mouth before the buzzer. Second place finisher Esper managed six slices.

Although he spent several days in the city, Chestnut wasn’t able to sample much noncompetitive cuisine.

“I did a little practice with pizza on Friday, then Saturday I was fasting,” he says. “I’m probably not going to get to eat the good food in New Orleans on this trip.”

Chestnut won the recent Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest by eating 71 dogs, three less than his 2018 record of 74.

Chestnut’s records read like a catering menu. In 8-minute competitions, Chestnut has put away 55 glazed doughnuts, 141 hard-boiled eggs, 14.5 pounds of boysenberry pie, 1.875 gallons of gumbo, 165 pierogis and 390 shrimp wontons. In 10 minutes, he’s downed 62 pulledpork sliders, 5.9 pounds of funnel

cake, 47 grilled-cheese sandwiches and 118 jalapeno poppers. In 12 minutes, he has consumed 7.61 pounds of chicken wings, 13.76 pounds of pork rib meat and 102 tamales.

Fat Boy’s owner Gabe Corchiani says Chestnut helped attract interest in the event.

“Everybody wants to compete against Joey,” Corchiani says.

Market crash DRYADES PUBLIC MARKET, the gro-

cery store and development in a former school in Myrtle Banks Building on Oretha Castle Haley Blvd., closed Aug. 30 after a three-year run.

“It’s been a great store for the community, but unfortunately there were just not enough customers,” says Jonathan Leit, director of the New Orleans office for Alembic Community Development, the firm that owns the property.

The space will be up for lease. Offices on upper floors are occupied.

The market opened in April 2016 as a collection of modern food concepts under one roof, combining a farmers market, a food hall, an oyster bar, a cocktail bar and a traditional grocery. After a 2017 revamp, it operated like a conventional grocery with a deli counter and hot food bar.

Alembic acquired the building from the city in 2011 and performed a $17 million renovation, funded with a mix of public and private dollars.

Public officials praised the project as a way to provide more fresh and affordable food in Central City and contribute to the economic revitalization of the area.

Burgers unlimited PERCY MILLER , better known as rapper-turned-media mogul Master P, opened a restaurant, Big Poppa Burgers (3300 Fourth St., Harvey, 504-328-8089; www.bigpoppaburgers.com) on the West Bank.

The restaurant serves burgers, chicken and waffles, milkshakes and more. It’s based in part on a fictional restaurant from Miller’s latest movie, “I Got the Hook-Up 2,” released this summer. Miller says the burgers are inspired by memories of his grandfather grilling when he was young.

“It’s a family restaurant,” Miller said by phone from Los Angeles.

Big Poppa Burgers doesn’t look like a celebrity-driven restaurant and feels homespun.

The namesake Big Poppa Burger has a thick patty topped with a house-made hickory-flavored barbecue sauce. The sauce and a related Big Poppa Burgers hot sauce are bottled for sale.

Big Poppa Burgers is open 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday. — IAN McNULTY/THE ADVOCATE

Stephanie Jane Carter Author JUST AS THERE IS NO DEFINITIVE RECIPE for gumbo, there is no

definitive cookbook for traditional New Orleans cuisine. Many cooks have thrown their hats in the ring, and the latest is Stephanie Jane Carter. “The Little Local New Orleans Cookbook” was released Aug. 20 by The Countryman Press, and it features her takes on classic recipes. Carter is the former editor of Vox Media’s Eater New Orleans and former publisher of Edible New Orleans.

She also co-wrote “The A-Z Encyclopedia of Food Controversies and the Law.”

How is this book different from other New Orleans cookbooks?

CARTER: There are lots of books of classic New Orleans recipes, but the New Orleans canon is changing all the time. As our food evolves and the way we eat changes, we accept new dishes into that canon. Some dishes that used to be very popular become less popular. I think someone could do a classic New Orleans recipe cookbook every 10 years, just to watch how the culinary landscape changes.

Since I was doing the book with a big publisher, we had to have some dishes in there that people expect, like crawfish etouffee and jambalaya. But I also got to think about what makes good New Orleans gumbo. While we have tons of dark roux here, the classic New Orleans gumbo is lighter and more vegetable based, with Creole tomatoes and okra and either no roux or very little roux. So, against all the popular dark gumbos, I got to include this one that you don’t see as often anymore. And in a lot of the older, classic New Orleans cookbooks, you never see yakamein, and now yakamein is sort of huge. So it’s a blend.

Did you find any of these recipes intimidating?

C: There were quite a few that intimidated me. New Orleans-style barbecue shrimp — because I think it’s really hard to get that specific Pascal’s Manale version of

P l a n y o u r We e k at PYTHIAN MARKET P H OTO B Y RE B E C C A F R I E D M A N

it, which I love. I found a message board where someone said its flavor comes from the kitchen using this batch of butter and cooking shrimp in it all day, so it becomes infused with the flavor of shrimp over time. In a home kitchen, you really can’t do that, so I reduced shrimp stock until it was like a demi-glace and whisked it in. But that one intimidated me.

The yakamein is one that’s become a standard in our house.

I will never be the new Ms. Linda (Green), but I do enjoy making it at home. It doesn’t take a lot of time, and it is really so restorative.

Is there a recipe in here that you don’t think has gotten enough love elsewhere?

C: Calas. For me, a recipe gets its legs not just from tasting good but from the culture and history that surround it. People love things with good stories, and calas have a great story. They were traditionally sold in the French Quarter and Congo Square by African-American women who carried them in baskets atop their heads and called out “Calas! Belle calas! Tout chaud!” According to historians, the proceeds helped some of those women [gain] their freedom.

I think a lot of people outside New Orleans don’t know that history, so I was excited to share it.

PREVIEW The Egyptian Lover

BY RAPHAEL HELFAND GREGORY BROUSSARD (AKA THE EGYPTIAN LOVER) is the long-reigning king of the Roland TR-808 drum machine and a pioneer of early hip-hop and electronic dance music. Starting his career in the early ’80s, he gained prominence on the burgeoning scene with a string of 12-inch singles, including enduring hits like “Egypt, Egypt” and “I Cry (Night After Night).” His first full-length LP, 1984’s “On the Nile,” experienced moderate commercial success but has achieved cult status in the 35 years since its release.

Broussard has continued to play shows around the world and release new music, including his most recent album, 2018’s “1985.” He’s lived by the “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” mantra, barely changing his style through the years. His singular and classic sound still works, especially in a live setting.

“I am personally really drawn to his work from the 1920s and 1930s,” Gibson says.

“Plenty of songwriters were writing about falling in love. Cole was writing about falling in lust. Other people were saying, ‘Let’s fall in love,’ Cole was saying, ‘Let’s do it.’ ” In Gibson’s musical, a newspaper writer tasked with composing an obituary on the day of Porter’s death in 1964 finds herself reminiscing about her favorite songs and the paper’s social pages to try to capture his life’s work. As fellow writers recall their favorites, the cast brings them to life.

Gibson may be familiar to local audiences for leading a band focused on early jazz standards, but her resume includes theatrical work and singing from the American songbook. Gibson has sung with the Boston Pops and produced musical works for Disney, including productions of “Damn Yankees” and “Oliver.”

The songbook musical features Harry Mayronne at the piano. At 7:30 p.m. Friday-Saturday, Sept. 6-7, 13-14 and 20; 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 8-29. The National World War II Museum, BB’s Stage Door Canteem, 945 Magazine St., (504) 528-1943; www. nationalww2museum.org. Tickets $33.51-$38.30 for the show only; dinner and brunch seatings available.

PREVIEW ‘Wind and Whisper’

BY D. eRIC BOOKHARDT TO APPROACH KEY-SOOK GEUM’S EXTRAVAGANTLY ETHEREAL DRESS SCULPTURES involves confronting mysteries within familiar forms. nothing is more commonplace than clothing, yet Geum takes the very idea of clothing to not just another level, but maybe other dimensions. Her wire-andbead concoctions play tricks on our perceptions, first by seductively drawing us in with their delicate, diaphanous beauty, and then by taking us on an P H OTO C O u R T e S Y exploration of what is contained within the structured CALL An COnTeMPOR ARY forms of the garments we take for granted. This air of mystery may seem surprising since the materials used in these elaborately wrought bead- and wire-mesh forms are obvious for all to see, but their uncanny aura — the near-human presence that imbues each work with personality — is harder to explain.

Part of it has to do with their presentation: Whether suspended and hovering over the floor or placed close to the walls, the interplay of light and shadow, subtly animated by ambient breezes, creates an effect of shimmering dark and light patterns that add another layer to these unexpectedly complex works.

All of these qualities appear in “Reminiscence in Ice” (pictured). Like a party dress for a fairy princess, “Reminiscence” is instantly familiar for its human scale and the classical female form of its implicit, yet unseen, wearer. On close inspection, it takes the eye on a magical mystery tour of its meticulous wire-and-bead networks that might suggest the structure of skin cells, human neural networks or even fiber optics. universal forms are just that, but within this is a unique invisible human presence that seems to breathe or sigh. The rarefied aura of “Reminiscence” contrasts with the simpler forms of traditional east Asian garments like “Greetings in Gold.” Here the golden aura of the bead-and-wire tunic appears as a charismatic glow emanating from a form reflecting the reverence for simplicity that underlies much east Asian culture, as well as its traditional assertion that all material forms are ultimately illusions, as permeable and immaterial as the air we breathe.
