ugust is a pivotal month for New Orleans. For some parts of the country, it means a turning point towards cooler weather, whereas here it seems like we are just getting started. Add to that the possibility of a storm approaching the Gulf Coast, and you’ve got a recipe for anxiety.
But fear not, while it’s important to keep your mind and body going while the heat, humidity and stormy weather may try to get us down, we’ve got you covered.
Summer is a great time to pay special attention to your skincare routine. The summer sun and sweaty days can exacerbate problem areas and create new ones. Our cover feature highlights a veteran physician who guides her patients to care for their skin in a carefully measured way, despite the TikTok trends and social media rumors. (Pro-tip: use sunscreen every day!)
It’s also just way too hot to do anything productive outside, so why not head in for a dose of artful meditation? August is perfect for visiting the city’s wide array of art and history museums, private galleries, public sculptures, costume displays and contemporary installations. We have a go-to guide to some of our favorite stops, plus how you can enjoy them on a budget or, even better, for free. It’s win-win for the mind during this A/C challenged time.
As noted, August is when the biggest and baddest of storms start ramping up on the Gulf. New Orleanians are no stranger to the routine of watching the spaghetti models, stocking up on toilet paper, coffee, ice and, perhaps, booze. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the most devastating storm for many of our lifetimes, Hurricane Katrina. We have bittersweet memorials to those days throughout the issue. It’s a time to remember those lost, to hold those places and people that remain close, and to celebrate the future of our continued brilliance as a city of culture, music, art, food and exuberance.
Cheers to New Orleans — heat, humidity, storm and all! Y’all stay safe…and cool.

Each year, Louisiana selects two books to represent the state and its rich literary tradition at the National Book Festival, held this year on September 5, 2025, in Washington D.C. According to a statement by Louisiana Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser, “Louisiana not only has the best food and music, we are blessed to also be home to outstanding authors who craft everything from excellent children’s books to the latest political page turners.
Each year, the State Library of Louisiana highlights more than 200 Louisiana authors during the Louisiana Book Festival, rated one of the Top 10 Literary Festivals you can attend. It’s always a pleasure to be able to promote Louisiana literary heritage on the national stage.”
Vernon Poche & the Ghosts of New Orleans
Representing young readers “Great Reads” category this year is “Vernon Poche & the Ghosts of New Orleans,” by Paul Siefken. The book follows Vernon in the aftermath of Katrina who, along with his best friend Alisha, navigate the empty streets of the city looking for a reason to convince his family to stay after his father threatens to leave forever. Along the way, the two encounter some notable ghosts, including Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau, gospel singer Mahalia Jackson and pirate Jean Lafitte, who add to the colorful adventure. The book is a tribute to the history and people of the city, told in a way that will resonate with young adult readers. Siefken, who is President and CEO of Fred Rogers Productions, is a New Orleans native who grew up in the Bayou St. John neighborhood. In addition to working for Cartoon Network and PBS Kids, he has written chapter books and plays. This is his first full length novel.

Gumbo Life: Tales from the Roux Bayou
Representing the adult “Great Reads” is “Gumbo Life: Tales from the Roux Bayou” by journalist Ken Wells. “Gumbo Life” follows Wells’ search for the culinary secrets behind what may be Louisiana’s most iconic dish. His journey takes him into kitchens across the state, participation in a gumbo cooking contest, a gumbo factory and more. What he discovers is more than just a recipe; he finds the soul of the dish itself. Gumbo is, at its heart, a representation of home and family and community.
Wells grew up along the banks of Bayou Black nestled deep in Cajun country. Praise from fellow writer Roy Blount, Jr. notes, ““Ken Wells knows gumbo, and from whence it comes. And gumbo, and its sources, are profoundly tasty things to know.”

In June, Mosquito Supper Club chef and owner and cookbook author Melissa Martin and Cassi Dymond, owner of Kalimera General Contracting and co-owner of Satsuma, opened Saint Claire restaurant and event space in Algiers. Located in a center hall Federalist-style house at 1300 Richland Road, the restaurant is nestled amid live oak trees on nearly four acres of property. Citing the book “Port of No Return: Enemy Alien Internment in World War II New Orleans,” by Tulane University professor Marilyn Miller, Verite News reported earlier this year that the land at one time “functioned as a World War II internment camp for non-U.S. citizens” and later “roughly one-third of the property operating as a station for U.S. Customs and Border Protection until 2019.” Despite, or perhaps because of the property’s complicated history, on the restaurant’s website, Saint Claire is described as “an inclusive space for events of all kinds” and visitors are invited to “see her as a refuge in a city that we love.” The menu features local and seasonal ingredients in elevated Southern cuisine, such as oysters mignonette, duck and andouille gumbo and jumbo lump crab cakes. saintclaire.me

The patients that walk through the halls of Manning Family Children’s are fighting battles unimaginable to most. No one knows or sees those struggles and challenges more than the hospital’s President and CEO Lou Fragoso.
This month, Fragoso is participating in the Leadville Trail 100 Run, one of the oldest and toughest ultramarathons in the world. He’s dedicated each of the 100 miles to a patient at Children’s in an effort to raise $100,000 for the hospital. Fragoso talks about his motivation to participate in the race and what the actual event entails.
Q: What made you want to run the Leadville Trail 100 Run in the first place? For many years, I have been a competitive runner, with 11 Ironman triathlon races under my belt. Working in healthcare, I am passionate about living my life with health and fitness at the center, and continuously pushing myself and those close to me to set and accomplish new personal and professional goals. I embrace life with a spirit of always improving and never being finished. There is always progress to be made.
This August, I’m running the Leadville Trail 100. A 100-mile race over the highest mountains in the United States, the Colorado Rockies, with the starting point in the highest city in North America (Leadville at 10,200 elevation), and it must be completed in under 30 hours. This event is one of the toughest and oldest ultramarathons in the country designed to test the human body, both physically and mentally. This will be my third attempt to finish the race. This race is incredibly intense, stripping you raw. But it is also a transformative process, running through the night, through the pain, through the doubt, and eventually into a personal sense of clarity. You are not the same person when it’s over.
Q: Why is this a challenge you feel passionate about taking on? 100 miles. 100 kids.
I’m not running for time
or medals. I’m running for the kids at Manning Family Children’s who face their own mountains every day, those fighting cancer, managing sickle cell disease, healing from trauma or struggling silently with mental health challenges. Every mile will carry the name of a child whose story has inspired me. With this challenge, I will be honoring the strength, fight and courage that our patients at Manning Family Children’s demonstrate every single day, and I will be dedicating this run to them. All 100 miles. As I take the 200,000 steps through the mountains, I will be honoring their stories and their strength, while raising funds along the way. I’m doing it for the kids. And my ask of our community — join the movement! I don’t expect everyone to run 100 miles, but I am asking our community to run with us in spirit. Share our kids’ stories. Support our mission. Help us reach more families. At Manning Family Children’s, we run toward the toughest problems that impact our kids: violence, trauma, mental health. And we care for every child, every time — regardless of ability to pay. We can’t do it alone.
Q: What did you learn from previous runs? Leadville is no easy feat — the air is thin, the climbs are steep, many hours are spent traversing in the dark, the pain is intense — and the race must be completed
under 30 hours. It is incredibly trying, both physically and mentally. It certainly would be easier to give up, or to try something less intense, but I am a firm believer that you don’t gain or learn anything by quitting. Set big goals and go after them! The fact that I didn’t finish in two previous times just lets me know the goal is big enough. Personal growth happens when you don’t give up, when you keep pushing, when you push past the suffering and the doubt to find new boundaries. You finish what you start!
This is about pushing boundaries, discovering new possibilities, and overcoming and pushing through — qualities I see demonstrated in our patients every day. It is their strength and spirit that inspire and humble me. Our kids do not complain, they do not falter. They push on over their own mountains, fighting through it all — step by step, inch by inch, they keep going and they overcome. And that is why I am dedicating this run to them. To honor their fight, their courage, to share their stories of overcoming.
Q: How have you been training in New Orleans for a race that takes place through rough, sometimes mountainous terrain? First, running is a team sport, and I would not be able to accomplish this feat without the team around me starting with my wife, Jill, and my team of pacers who will be joining me in Leadville. Training here in New Orleans, especially in the summer months, with the intense heat and humidity is great preparation for the intensity of Leadville. I have a regimented training schedule that includes running, strength training and sports medicine six days per week. It has been important to stick to the weekly schedule with guidance from my running and strength coaches, while fitting in several high-altitude training trips over the last few months to complete long training runs at elevation. Over fourth of July weekend, for example, I did a training weekend in Leadville where I trained on the hardest part
of the course, Hope Pass. And my wife and I ran across the Grand Canyon, there and back, twice this year as part of our training.
Q: Can you tell us about a patient that has inspired you on this run and to keep going? Brian Marelo is a 15-year-old patient of Manning Family Children’s who was born with spina bifida, with his spinal cord growing out of his back. Doctors said he would never walk, that that he would lie in a bed and have a poor quality of life. He has also experienced challenges including epilepsy and hydrocephalus requiring a shunt. Through it all, Brian’s family has been an amazing support system, and he had received the best care possible, with 20 surgeries and countless doctor’s appointments and therapy sessions to keep him strong and healthy.
Over recent years, Brian has developed a love for sports, and plays baseball, soccer and basketball. Last year Brian had the opportunity to participate in his first 5K fundraiser for his wheelchair basketball team, and he quite literally hasn’t stopped since. And he has now joined me for the last two Crescent City Classics. Brian, and the countless stories like his that we see here in our hospital every day is my WHY. He wasn’t supposed to be able to do all these things that he can currently do. And my favorite quote from Brian that we can all live by, “You’re only going to hurt yourself if you believe you can’t. But if you try, you might find out that you can.”
While I will be running each mile — all 100 — for a special and inspiring patient, Brian will be helping to bring it home – coming out to Leadville to run the last mile with me. Mile 100, Brian Marelo, will be running by my side to represent the strength, perseverance, hope, bravely and determination of countless of patients like him who overcome. There will be no greater reward than to see Brian, and to think of each of our kiddos who he will be there representing.
I was sipping my coffee the other day and thinking deep thoughts about life.
I have lived in either Chalmette or New Orleans since I was born, so I understand what is more important than anything else: Saints games and hurricanes.
Me and my husband Lout and our three kids, plus all his Gunch relatives, used to live on the same street in Chalmette.
Then Lout decided to fix the dish on top his favorite bar, the Sloth Lounge, to get better reception during a Saints game, and ZOT!, he gets hit by lightning. So that’s the end of him. Poor heart.
Two years later, Katrina comes. Me and the Gunches all get out of town, naturally, and we wind up at this campground up in Alabama, where the whole lot of us shared a pop-up tent. That meant we had to sleep in shifts. Finally, we come home. And we find out home ain’t there no more. All our houses are gone with the wind, to be poetic about it.
So we all lived for a while in government trailers. Unfortunately, they had showers too small for some of the Gunches to fit in, so they had to wait until after dark and wash off out back with the hose.
My mother-in-law Ms. Larda managed to get the insurance people to rebuild her house right where it was. It’s a shotgun double — her sons Lurch and Leech live on the other side of the double and they share the laundry room in back. Which means she does their laundry. Like always.
My sister-in-law Larva and her family moved to Metairie and she manufactures them little garden gnomes, which we all have in our gardens now. And on our coffee tables. And on the backs of our toilets. And anywhere else you can put a gnome.
My oldest daughter, Gumdrop, is married and lives across the lake in Folsom, and me and my other daughter, Gladiola, live in an apartment behind the Sloth Lounge, which my gentleman friend Lust owns. My son Gargoyle lives there too, when he ain’t off at LSU.
Anyway, this one day last week, both of them have plans to be out of the house for a couple of days. I get home from work early and decide to take an actual afternoon nap.
I don’t usually take naps. Which maybe explains why when I woke up, I thought it was morning.
The clock says six. I drink some coffee and start getting ready for work. But then it don’t get light.
It keeps getting darker and darker. I think there must be a really big storm coming in.
I am a professional walking tour guide, but I decide we better cancel the tours for today. I called my scheduler, but he don’t answer. Odd. Then I remember I got a morning dentist appointment, so I scurry out the side entrance and drive over to the dentist’s and THERE IS NOBODY THERE. Closed. That shows they got good sense, I say to myself, but they COULD have called and cancelled.
I go back home — now it’s almost 10 by my car clock, and this time I walk in the front door of the bar and am surprised that it’s full of people at this hour. And then I see Lust and ask him why it’s so dark. He looks puzzled and says it ain’t no darker than usual at 10 o’clock at night. Oh.
I open my mouth and shut it again.
I think about it. A person with good sense would not blurt out they been running around thinking it was daytime. That person would never live it down.
I got good sense. I order a drink.
When asked about the meaning of his latest album name, “Foreveruary, Vol. 1” music artist and producer De'Auan McClaine says it’s the same reason for his stage name being Mac Infinity.
“I really think that we can exist in three places at once,” the 25-year-old said, sitting at a patio table at Pontilly Coffee. “We’re in the present, we learn from the past, and we look towards the future. That’s where ‘forever’ comes into play because that’s what I think forever is. It’s infinity.”
McClaine’s belief in being able to exist in the past, present and future all at once can be experienced through his music. His appreciation for rap music and Black culture shines in his song “Esha,” where he raps on top of the recurring melody played during Brandy’s diary entry scenes from the 1990s sitcom “Moesha.” In the “Esha” music video, McClaine wears a Nelly-inspired Band-Aid under one of his eyes, terry cloth sweatbands and a vintage basketball jersey — a nostalgic nod to early 2000s fashion trends.
The Kansas City native remembers falling in love with rap music in seventh grade, the same year he wrote his first rap song for a school science project. He learned how to make beats in high school and by 2023 challenged himself to make three beats a day. His dedication to his craft, desire to create community, and merge the sounds of his hometown and New Orleans led to the release of his 2025 album “Foreverurary, Vol. 1.” The collaborative album with a mixtape feel features artists from New Orleans and Kansas City. It’s the type of album
worth savoring, where you might not catch all of the poetic lyrics or profound reflections on the first listen.
As a true multi-hyphenate creative, McClaine is the founder of Forever Films Forever, a music, apparel and cinema company. In addition to creating content and merchandise for clients, he films and produces the majority of his music and videos. His keen eye for filmmaking, creative storytelling and thoughtfully written verses showcased on his Instagram are like an exploration of the lost art of hip-hop music videos.
Looking ahead, McClaine plans to continue collaborating and releasing additional volumes of “Foreveruary” with different artists throughout his career. Until then, he has new solo music in the works, more “Foreverurary, Vol. 1” video roll-outs, and plans to continue embracing being a lifelong learner.
“It’s sort of like when you start at something, you think you know everything about it, and then the further you go, you realize how little you actually know," McClaine said. "That’s sort of how I look at it. On my journey with music and just art in general. The further I go along, I realize how much more there is to learn. I just try to learn something new about [music] every day.”

Americans are famous for coming up with catchy propaganda slogans to define a moment. During World War II, War Department posters reminded people that “Loose Lips Sink Ships” and “We Can Do It.” “Rosie the Riveter” celebrated muscle-flexed women working in defense factories and Uncle Sam posters stirred young men’s patriotic blood with a finger pointed at them, saying “I Want You.”
Folks on the home front juggled their lives with everything rationed from sugar to car tires. Rationing offices across the nation reminded people that “Rationing Means a Fair Share for All,” “Do with Less so They’ll Have Enough,” “Plant a Victory Garden – Our Food is Fighting,” and “Save Waste Fats for Explosives!”
Seen in this March 1943 photograph are New Orleanians lined up to receive ration books at 523 Gravier St. The photo was taken by Minnesota born John Vachon, a member of the New Deal era Farm Security Administration, or FSA, team of photographers who documented rural America during the Great Depression. When the U.S. entered the war, the FSA photographers moved over to the Office of War Information.
of Price Administration, or OPA, quickly got into action, launching a complex but comprehensive rationing program that would affect almost every aspect of American life.
Beginning in May 1942, the OPA issued rationing books 1 through 4 that covered essential consumer items such as sugar, gasoline, tires, meat, canned fish, cooking fat, butter, canned and fresh vegetables, coffee, fruit, flour, clothing and shoes. Ration stamps within each book were color coded, numbered and decorated with pictures of weapons of war or other relevant images. Rationing continued throughout the war, ending, except for sugar, in 1945 with victory in Europe and Pacific. Sugar rations ended in 1947.
As in every other crucial time, the war and rationing brought out the worst and best in people. When black marketeers tried to forge rationing stamps, OPA officials urged merchants to accept only those stamps that they themselves tore from the ration books. Some beef-loving Americans, wrote University of Maryland historian Megan Springate, were “willing to go to unpatriotic means to get” it on the black market.

In 1940 and early 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, knowing it was a matter of time before the United States would enter the war in Europe, began preparing Americans for the inevitable shortages in food and other important consumer goods once the war came. Shortly after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, Roosevelt’s Office
On the brighter side, thousands of Americans stepped up to help. Various histories claim over 100,000 volunteers staffed 5,600 rationing boards across the country. And that doesn’t include men, women and children who planted victory gardens and collected scrap metal for the war effort.
Most Americans willingly lived up to the motto, “Do with Less so They’ll Have Enough.”

To see Dr. Erin Boh now, in her roles as teacher, leader, administrator, data-driven diagnostician and most importantly, caring physician, it seems as if her path to medicine was always clear. But despite carrying the weighty title of chair of the department of dermatology at Tulane University School of Medicine, this doctor found her way organically, through a series of happenstance decisions that landed her, thankfully for generations of patients, in just the right spot.
Dr. Erin Boh grew up Uptown, her neighborhood anchored by Plum Street Snowballs at Plum and Burdette. She’d routinely cut through Tulane on her way to Mercy Academy and remembers admiring what she saw and imagined of life on campus. “Going there wasn’t realistic for me though, and I knew that.”
As a young student Boh had no intention of becoming a doctor of any kind, never mind a dermatologist. Medicine wasn’t remotely on her radar. “My parents absolutely stressed education. They’d tell me you can’t count on your looks. You need to use your brain and everything else is lagniappe. My whole life was focused on college. As early as the fifth grade, all I wanted to do was get a Ph.D.,” she said, “It didn’t matter so much in what. I wasn’t thinking about medicine.”
When it was time for college, Boh went to Auburn University for her undergraduate degree, earning her Bachelor of Science degree in biology. She doubled up on classes and graduated early. The plan was to attend LSU for etymology, but because of her accelerated timing, classes didn’t start for almost a year.
The first day she was home, her dad informed her she had to get a job. “He told me to go to Tulane to look for work. This was 1974. There were no cell phones, computers, none of that. I got on my bike and went to Tulane to find some kind of job.” She sussed out the various HR departments to see what jobs were open. Of course, she got one.
“I was sent to Dr. Norberto Schor, a professor of pathology, who was from Argentina and his accent could be a bit tough. At the end of my interview, he said, ‘You seem to understand me!’ He liked that I was on my bicycle because he rode his in to work too,” Boh recalled. “He told me, every Friday we are going to get on our bikes, go to eat and talk about data. He was truly my first mentor.” Boh started working in pathology doing bench research.
Chronic skin diseases impact other organ systems. The skin is the window to the internal problems. “
When it came time to go to graduate school, Schor had a proposition. She could stay at Tulane, get both her graduate degree and Ph.D., and work full time while going to school. “I honestly had no direction. He said, go to medical school. You could always teach.”
She got in — and the “Aha!” moment happened. She remembers the day when her calling became clear. “Dr. Jim Storer, a pediatric dermatologist and neonatologist, gave a lecture in a freshman histology course on autoimmune blistering diseases in children. Sitting in the lecture, talking about biochemistry and molecular biology, I was fascinated. I thought ‘I’m going to be a dermatologist.’” She saw with clarity that the body was trying to communicate something through the skin. “There were clues that I had to figure out. From that moment, I never wavered from dermatology. It’s the best direction I ever took in my life.”
Boh completed her dermatology residency at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Parkland Hospital. “I loved working with underserved patients. People who were underrepresented. They needed me the most. I knew that was going to be my focus in New Orleans.”
She earned a Ph.D. in biochemistry in 1980 and her M.D. degree in 1985, both from Tulane, before joining the faculty in 1990. Her practice specializes in treating complicated, chronic diseases like severe psoriasis and cutaneous t-cell lymphoma.
Boh became a doctor at a time when the ratio of men to women in medical school was about 80 to 20 percent, she recalled. “As a woman in a male dominated field, there were challenges,” she said. “I trained when women were just getting started in medicine. Even to this day, the ceiling is cracked, but it’s still there.”
She remembers being told by male doctors to go get coffee. “I would say ‘Sure,’ go get myself a cup of coffee and just come back and keep going. And I’d keep doing it that way. Throw it right back at them. I get in trouble for speaking my mind. But I see our role as women is to fight to get a place in medicine. It’s still not what it should be. There are more women in med school. but in leadership, only 10-12 percent women are in the top roles. And of course, the pay isn’t the same.”
Boh is widely respected by her peers, said Dr. Kate Holcomb, a dermatologist practicing in Metairie. “She has the reputation for taking care of the sickest and hardest to diagnose patients in New Orleans.” Boh doesn’t disagree with that assessment. “I joke with my residents,” said Boh. “The buck stops here. By the time a patient gets to us, we have to figure out what the problem is.”
“
The most important thing a young person can do is not get sun damage in the first place.
Although her role as chair of the department comes with its administrative duties, Boh’s commitment is on teaching and working in the clinic, seeing patients. After a recent graduation, she was proud to say she’d trained 140 dermatologists, instilling in each of them her holistic approach to treating skin diseases, from the inside out.
“It’s a legacy that keeps on giving for generations,” she said. “I tell my students, you can know all this stuff, but that isn’t what it’s about. It’s the being there, taking care of the patient not the disease. I hear them say, they have this rash. And I’m always saying back to them, who’s they? What’s the patient’s name? I tell them to treat every patient like you’re their mother. Pay attention to every detail. ”
Boh has patients she’s been treating for more than 30 years. “Years after I’ve helped them, they come back to check in. Maybe their spouse died. They just want to talk to me. It’s not always about derm. We need to be there for the person. To have empathy.”
Not to say that’s always easy. Patients can be difficult, acknowledged Boh. “Sometimes we have awful patients. By the time they get to me, they’ve seen five, six specialists. Punted between rheumatology, infectious disease, all over the place. And they are still suffering. These are chronic debilitating diseases. It’s not like you give them a cream. They need to be treated for life.”
On any given day, Boh and her residents may see someone suffering with an internal skin disease, complicated by other conditions like arthritis and diabetes. Drug therapy has to accommodate a host of issues. “Many of our patients have high morbidity. Their day-to-day quality of life is compromised. We have to see the big picture.”
Her area of practice has always been, as she said it, “outside the house of medicine. Even doctors don’t have a grasp of the scope of medical dermatology. I feel, medical is coming back around. Chronic skin diseases impact other organ systems. The skin is the window to the internal problems.”
Boh calls herself a dinosaur. She knows she’s outspoken, one to not hedge her bets. That’s not always a popular quality. But she’s not happy with the direction she sees medicine taking. “I call it the ‘business-fication’ of medicine. That’s what happens when medicine and medical professionals start losing sight of their true goals.”
The way she sees it, the only reason to go into medicine is to be driven by empathy and compassion. “We have the chance to apply the knowledge we’ve worked so hard to acquire to make somebody better. But it’s all become a business. The perspective has changed. It’s about the bottom line, making money.”
Although she doesn’t focus her practice on aesthetic medicine, Boh understands that cosmetic dermatology is here to stay. It gained traction in the late '80s and early '90s, making up for the shortages doctors were facing during to decreases in reimbursement and insurance issues. “How can you take care of people for an hour and get paid $25? Cosmetic dermatology is a niche that pays off financially,” she said.
Boh has long been a proponent of a good skincare regime. But she takes issue with how social media tries to influence young people, especially girls, tweens and teens. “It’s absurd for kids 10 and 11 years old to have an extensive skincare regiment, but that’s what they see on TikTok,” she said. “I’m not personally on social media. But from what I can see, it’s all about the influencers and selling product. I’m a data driven person. I believe in mild cleansers, products with alpha hydroxy to cut oil build up, retinol derivates for reversing sun damage, always using sunblock. It’s not about spending $800 for a bottle of liquid gold. The most important thing a young person can do is not get sun damage in the first place.”
When it comes to botox and fillers, Boh is a realist. “As we age, we can implement some adjunctive therapies that can improve how we look. But when you’re 60 and 70, you don’t have the same molecules and bone structure as when you’re 20. Yes, there are all sorts of things you can do to improve your appearance. But the fact of the matter is, all we can do is be the best we can be at our age.”
Boh’s New Orleans roots run deep. When she needs a reset, a break from the serious work she does every day, she turns to her city’s culture to work its magic.
“I tell everybody, you’ve got to be able to take a joke. Take breaks. You can’t be serious your whole life. Colleagues outside of New Orleans don’t understand. They make fun of us during Mardi Gras. You stop your whole life for two weeks? Yes, we do! I’m born and bred in New Orleans. It’s in my genes. ”
Naturally she has an epic costume closet. Her krewe concoct elaborate groups costumes, sometimes with a medical theme. “One year we did the pandemics of the world. Swine flu was a good one.” She’s been riding with Muses for decades. “I’m so fortunate to have so many life-long friends.”
Halloween is another favorite time of year. She throws a legendary costume party with an alphabet theme - each year, guests dress up as something that starts with a letter. “We started with A, now we’re on the Ls,” she said. “You’d be amazed at the ingenuity. It really recharges the batteries.”
Carpe diem is her mantra. “I believe in planning for tomorrow, but I also believe we just have this one life. Let’s milk it for everything we can, because when it’s gone, it’s gone.”

The dog days of summer are here, and while the two-in-one punch of heat and humidity make for the ultimate bad hair day, it can also lead to seasonal summer depression for many as the endless sweltering temperatures make venturing outside nearly impossible, and sometimes dangerous. Enter August museum month to the rescue!
According to an August 2023 discussion by the American Medical Association (AMA), viewing and participating in art and artistic activities, ranging from listening to music to writing poetry or viewing paintings, can have a wide range of benefits for a person’s overall health.
“Some of the specific benefits that we have seen is that the arts can improve concentration,” said Dr. Frank Clark, MD, a psychiatrist with Prisma Health and a poet. “They can improve self-esteem. They can actually reduce stress. So there is a hormone that is secreted by the body known as cortisol whenever the body is under stress, and there have been plenty of studies to show that cortisol levels can be decreased when we engage in the arts and the positive impacts that it can have on our mental health.”
He goes on to note that exercising your mental health is just as important as your physical health and that interacting in artistic endeavors can help. “So they say an apple a day keeps the doctor away. I would say maybe a poem a day or a writing exercise, whatever it may be, or just listening to music or singing or dancing, it’s good for the body and what’s good for the body is good for the mind,” he said.
Lucky for us here in New Orleans, design, art, and performance are a part of the fabric of the city. We love to dance in the streets and we have no lack of artists of all kinds to celebrate throughout the year. Even better, the summer is the perfect time to escape the heat and head indoors to some of our favorite museums and galleries, while also giving your heart and mind a healthy, art-filled boost.
Here are some ways to enjoy local art at its finest, fascinating and fun(est) all month long (and beyond).
The Contemporary Arts Center (CAC) aims to support local innovators, artists, performers and creators with a variety of programs, ongoing exhibitions, artist residencies, special events and teaching camps created specifically with teens in mind.
Ongoing exhibitions in August include “From the Storms of Our Souls: The Art of Ron Bechet,” which “explores the everyday experiences, communal ties, ancestral connections, and ecological encounters of Blackness” through a series of rich, impactful, oversized charcoal drawings, and “Don Marshall’s Refreshing America,” highlighting more than 80 artists of America from other countries.

The lasTing legacy of hurricane KaTrina
by Genevieve Rheams | illustration by Amber Day
Hurricane evacuations were fun when I was a kid. I grew up in the '80s and early '90s in Luling (in the River Parishes), and for me and my sisters, hurricane evacuations meant no school and a trip to visit my uncle and cousins in Shreveport. We packed our important things like my parents told us to, which for me were my prized books and cassette tapes. It’s a strange thing to look at your possessions once a year, and imagine it all underwater. What would I save if I could? But back then I didn’t really think anything bad would happen. Nothing ever had, weather-wise. I would pack my precious items and enjoy the trip, dreading the time that the parish officials would give us the OK to come back to school.
August of 2005 was different. I was 29 then, I had a husband, three kids who were 6, 4 and 2, and I had just started my first semester back at the University of New Orleans after a long hiatus. Katrina was predicted to hit Florida at first, but then it took a sudden turn and the category 5 was headed straight for us. We had a day to pack everything that we didn’t want to see underwater, and move out of the target range.
My aunt had an unoccupied, unfurnished rental house in Pensacola that she said we could hunker down in. So, my then-husband, and my kids and I caravaned east with my parents and my youngest sister. I packed different things than I did when I was a teenager — school materials, medications and legal documents. The interstate was shut down, so we joined the traffic on Highway 90. As we drove by the beach in Biloxi, I smiled at the condos that my family used to rent over the summer when I was a kid, thinking about the times my cousins and I would run wild along the sand. In two days, those buildings would be gone.
What was usually a three-hour drive to Pensacola took all day. Cars were backed up for miles and we kept getting re-routed by road blocks. We’d left in the morning and got to Pensacola late in the afternoon. The rain had just started. Katrina was a monster that soaked the whole southeast, so even though we drove more than 200 miles, we still got rain and wind gusts. There’s video of my kids running through the wind in the backyard of that rental house, laughing, with their hair blowing all around. We didn’t know the nightmare that was happening back home, the rain and the winds and flood waters that were already driving people from their first floors to their attics.
The next morning, my dad packed up the seven six-gallon gas cans he’d brought and went in search for gasoline.
Even outside of the area of impact, gas was hard to come by. As was, to our surprise, liquor. Gasoline and vodka tonics were necessary hurricane supplies and he had a hard time finding either. At long last, he found a liquor store that sold vodka, but no tonic. Really? No mixers? We were New Orleanians. Booze was our God given right. There was no Dorignac’s to pop into and fill our baskets. Where were we?
By the time he got back home, we were able to pull up news coverage about what was happening in New Orleans. The first image I saw was not the people stranded on roof tops, or the heartbreaking footage of people screaming for help at the Superdome, but an aerial shot of a leaning cell phone tower standing in a sea of brown water. Then the camera panned further to the west and I saw rooftops of businesses. It wasn’t until I saw the PJ’s Coffee sign jutting out of the water that I knew what I was looking at. It was close to the corner of Robert E. Lee Boulevard (now Allen Touissant Boulevard) and Paris Avenue. My husband and I had gone to that coffeeshop on countless dates. Now it was completely underwater. It was close to the UNO family housing where we’d lived for the first couple of years we were married. I wanted to control the camera and make sure my old home was OK. It’s funny that I thought about that first, but not about our current house in Luling. Later that night, we found out that our neighborhood had gotten wind damage, but that most of the New Orleans area was inundated, and people were trapped. I remember my mom trying to comfort us by saying, “It’s going to be OK. Help is coming for them, and we’ll rebuild.” But I thought about how long it took to fill one pothole in New Orleans, and I had my doubts. And the help that was coming for those people was not coming fast enough.
The kids and I ended up staying in Pensacola for four weeks. The neighborhood we were in was filled with kind neighbors who brought us food and furniture to borrow. I built blanket forts with the kids and we watched the movie “Madagascar” on a loop. Two weeks into our stay, we got the green light to return to St. Charles and St. Tammany parish, where my parents lived, to check on our houses. Officials warned that there was still no electricity, and that food and gas were scarce. My dad and husband decided to brave the ride back home to check on everything and would let us know when it was OK to come back. It was another two weeks after that when the rest of us were able to drive safely back home.
We had roof damage, but the house was livable and the electricity was back on. My husband had cleaned out and bleached the refrigerator. The Walmart down the highway from us was the only store open for miles and
miles. So, a few days after we got back, our 4-bedroom house became the refugee camp for my family, my sister, her friend, one of our friends, my sister-in-law, my niece, my nephew and five cats. Everyone else’s homes had either been destroyed or were in neighborhoods that weren’t declared safe enough to return to.
I wouldn’t be returning to school that semester, and it took a while for my eldest to get back to her first-grade routine. I spent most of my time cooking, making sure the cats didn’t kill each other, and taking occasional trips out to New Orleans to help friends gut their houses. Twenty years later, the smell of mold still makes me think of rotten sheetrock, blackened refrigerators and boxes of drowned Christmas ornaments.
Trips to Walmart were strange. I stood in long lines because they only let in 10 people at a time. I remember steering my buggy through the frozen food section and there was a soldier in full fatigues with a sidearm, pushing his own basket that had exactly one container of yogurt in it.
The worst part of that whole experience was taking out the trash. Regular waste service hadn’t been restored yet. Instead, there was one enormous dumpster at the end of my street that I drove the trash to every day. There was one time, I don’t remember why, I skipped a couple of days. If I had to guess, I was probably avoiding it because the dumpster wasn’t emptied often and the stench of rot coming from it was overwhelming. But after a couple of days in the September heat, our trash was stinking so bad, I couldn’t avoid it anymore. I set the couple of foul bags and box of discarded food on the hood of my car and drove down the street.
I had a choice. I could continue to lift the box and get stung or drop the box and have maggots fall into my face. In that split second, I decided to get stung. The wasp attacked my cheek and I hoisted the box into the trash.
I don’t remember crying until then. I’m sure I did. It had been five weeks since Katrina had hit, and I can’t imagine that I hadn’t broken down crying at some point. But in that moment when I cradled my stinging cheek in the heat with the smell of decay all around me, I remember bawling and thinking, “I can’t take this anymore. When will it go back to normal?”

When I say the dumpster was big, let me put it this way — I’m six feet tall and the lip of the dumpster was a head higher than me. I tossed the bags up and over into the heap. Then I picked up the box, which I really didn’t want to do because there were maggots inside. Sweat poured down my face and into my eyes. I was hot and agitated. I didn’t want to fling the box up because it was flimsy and I was afraid that it would break open. So, I lifted it carefully to the opening of the dumpster and suddenly a wasp flew out and dove towards my face.
Twenty years later I can say that it never has. Not fully. There are people and whole neighborhoods that have never come back to New Orleans. Every time I see footage of a city wiped out by a hurricane, an earthquake or wildfires I know that the survivors will be dealing with the aftermath of the destruction long after the news coverage has ended. I no longer pack for hurricane evacuations with the excitement of a vacation, and I have a pretty good idea of what my things will look like if they all end up underwater.
Hurricane Katrina was the tragedy that took more than 1,800 people. My family and I were lucky that we had the information and the resources to leave before it struck, and that we were able to come back to minimal damage. It was also the tragedy that taught me that sometimes bad things happen and they change the world you know. It’s important to survive, to stay nimble and pivot with the changes, and to know that all things, even bad times, eventually end.
I thought about that when I was out at the dumpster, crying, and wishing that everything would go back to normal. An old line came to me, one that I’d heard before, but had never held meaning for me until that day, “This too shall pass.”
Since that then, I have never taken regular garbage pickup for granted. Vodka tonics are plentiful. Though changed my city is alive again with poetry, smiling neighbors, and jazz funerals — ones that sing loudly about death, change and life. Storms come, but this too shall pass. This too shall pass.
With over 30 years’ experience researching, reviewing, and selecting Top Doctors, Castle Connolly is a trusted and credible healthcare research and information company. Our mission is to help people find the best healthcare by connecting patients with best-in-class healthcare providers.
¶ Castle Connolly’s physician-led team of researchers follows a rigorous screening process to select top doctors on both the national and regional levels. Its online nomination process is open to all licensed physicians in America who are able to nominate physicians in any medical specialty and in any part of the country, as well as indicate whether the nominated physician(s) is, in their opinion, among the best in their region in their medical specialty or among the best in the nation in their medical specialty. Then, Castle Connolly’s research team thoroughly vets each physician’s professional qualifications, education, hospital and faculty appointments, research leadership, professional reputation, disciplinary history and if available, outcomes data. Additionally, a physician’s interpersonal skills such as listening and communicating effectively, demonstrating empathy, and instilling trust and confidence, are also considered in the review process. The Castle Connolly Doctor Directory is the largest network of peer-nominated physicians in the nation. ¶ In addition to Top Doctors, Castle Connolly’s research team also identifies Rising Stars, early career doctors who are emerging leaders in the medical community. ¶ Physicians selected for inclusion in this magazine’s “Top Doctors” and “Rising Stars” feature may also appear online at www.castleconnolly.com, or in conjunction with other Castle Connolly Top Doctors databases online and/or in print. ¶ Castle Connolly is part of Everyday Health Group, a recognized leader in patient and provider education, attracting an engaged audience of over 82 million health consumers and over 900,000 U.S. practicing physicians and clinicians to its premier health and wellness digital properties. Our mission is to drive better clinical and health outcomes through decision-making informed by highly relevant information, data, and analytics. We empower healthcare providers and consumers with trusted content and services delivered through Everyday Health Group’s world-class brands. ¶ For more information, please visit Castle Connolly.

The sweltering heat of August can bring on dreams of places to visit where there’s a chill in the air and sweaters are required. Or at least where one doesn’t drown in perspiration.
You may think no such place exists in the Deep South in August but you’re not thinking deep enough. As in deep within the earth.
These Southern caves — many of which claim world status in their unique attributes — are all within a day’s drive.
The folks at Majestic Caverns claim it’s the most historic with the largest accumulation of gem stone quality onyx in the country, but what mattered most to us was the 60-degree temperature all year round. As you enjoy that cool nip in the air, view an underground waterfall, a laser light show and cool rock formations about an hour south of Birmingham. majesticcaverns.com/
Here’s another boast—the largest natural cave entrance in Arkansas. And it’s pretty spectacular. Located near Bentonville and Eureka Springs,
War Eagle contains unique cave formations, an underground stream and occasional wildlife such as bats and salamanders, all within an environment that’s about 58 degrees. There’s also scenic Beaver Lake to enjoy. wareaglecavern.com
It’s been almost 100 years since Leo Lambert accidentally discovered one of the South’s most astonishing natural wonders. In 1928, Lambert found a massive underground waterfall 1,120 feet beneath the summit of Lookout Mountain near Chattanooga and Ruby Falls has been thrilling visitors ever since. Ruby Falls now offers more than a
cave tour, with spectacular views, zip-lining and dining options but take the elevator to the base of the falls if you’re envying for something truly cool and amazing. rubyfalls.com
Visitors need a guide to enter this prehistoric site where indigenous people left sacred carvings on the cave walls outside today’s Clarksville. It’s believed that the ancient civilizations thought the cave to be a portal to a world below as well as a cool protected site so it’s imperative that rangers keep crowds in check. The cave exists within the 144-acre wooded forest and restored prairie
and the museum explains all inside the 1933 Bathhouse. tnstateparks. com/parks/dunbar-cave
You could spend a week at this national park and never see it all. It’s called “Mammoth” for a reason. Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky is the longest cave system in the world with only about 400 miles explored. The park offers a variety of tours, some of which are accessible by wheelchair. The park is also an official “Dark Sky” park so plan to stay behind sunset and take in some stargazing. nps. gov/maca
About an hour north of Austin, deep in the Texas Hill Country at Burnet, things get really cool — temperature and otherwise. Longhorn Cavern dates to the prehistoric era but was opened to the public by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) back in 1938. Visitors will appreciate its long history from antiquity through the Civil War and into the 20th century. In the 1920s, the main room was used as a dance hall and concert venue. tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/ longhorn-cavern

Every January and then again every August, I daydream about a fresh start, about how different life is going to be in the new year/new school year. I get new calendars and new colored pens. I organize my purse, purging the 8,231 receipts and gum wrappers and forgotten Chapsticks and coffee punch cards I never remember to use. I call to set up my mammogram and my dental cleaning (and this year, my colonoscopy – lucky me!). I vow to get on a decent sleep schedule. I sort Georgia’s uniforms; donate what no longer fits; and finally give up on salvaging the white shirts that lost the battle to spaghetti sauce, marker ink and chocolate.
This year will be even more of a fresh start. One kid is 1,226 miles away, newly settled into her freshman dorm in Bronxville, New York. The other is an official teen in her last year of middle school and suddenly too cool to say more than five words to me between waking up and bedtime. The dogs are confused. The house is quiet. And I, in my empty kitchen, am finally alone with all the things I claimed to want over the past 18 years: time, space, silence. And now here we are. So why do I feel like I’m walking around in someone else’s life?
For 18 years, my identity has been built around mothering 24/7. I’ve been tracking developmental milestones, changing diapers, researching the best time to start solid food. I’ve been packing lunches, making snacks, buying little treats at the grocery store. Leaving work to pick up a sick kid, waking up in the middle of the night to treat a croupy cough, memorizing the phone number to the pediatrician. Checking homework, drilling math facts on flash cards, scheduling teacher conferences. Making class favors for Halloween and assembling
handmade cards for Valentine’s Day and collecting money for teacher gifts at the holidays. Keeping track of track practice and play rehearsal and field trips and library day and speech tournaments and the dates for spring break at two different schools.
For so long, being a mom hasn’t been just what I did; it’s been who I was.
I am still a mom, of course. But the daily tactile work of it – the mess and the magic and the minding of the details – is slipping out of my hands. One bedroom is empty. The other might as well have a “Keep Out” sign hung on the door. And I’m left blinking in the kitchen wondering: What now?
Do I take up needlepoint? I feel like someone who might like needlepoint. With all of this new free time, I feel like I need to become a Person With Hobbies, even though
novels, taking long walks, aimlessly driving while listening to music and drinking a Diet Coke with the good ice. Some things I used to love are just not for me anymore: elaborate dinner parties, late nights at loud clubs, tequila shots. Much like most of my pre-kid clothes, a lot of my old hobbies and habits just don’t fit right anymore. And the routines I depended on for so long are gone or dwindling, replaced by wide-open hours that feel less like freedom and more like open water. But I’m trying. I’m walking again, sometimes alone and sometimes with a friend, not for fitness or step-counting but just because I like walking and seeing how the world looks when I’m not rushing somewhere. I’m working with a local group to provide home-cooked meals to food-insecure families via the community fridges. I even took a weekend trip with a friend where we did touristy things and attempted to talk about things other than our kids.
I’ve never really been a Person With Hobbies, even pre-kids. Not that I really remember what I was like pre-kids.
I went to a bookstore last weekend with a vague plan to browse for something intellectual and affirming, like self-help but not obnoxious or maybe a biography of some inspiring woman who managed to survive her children growing up and moving away. I came home with a candle for Georgia, a feminist sticker I plan to mail to Rowan, and a tube of hand cream I didn’t need. I also signed up for a yoga class and then immediately canceled it when I remembered how much I hate yoga.
It turns out that rediscovering who you are after nearly two decades of intense parenting is not like flipping a switch. Some of the things I loved in my early 20s – pre-kids – I still love: reading bad mystery
I still feel the tug of old habits. I still reflexively check the school portal before realizing my kid isn’t in PowerSchool anymore, and I still look for fun new vegetarian items at Trader Joe’s for Rowan, even though she obviously won’t be raiding my refrigerator and pantry on a daily basis. And I still cry sometimes, for no obvious reason other than the fact that everything is changing. But I’m also remembering something I sort of forgot back in 2006: the quiet joy of doing something – anything – just for me. Maybe I’m not trying to go back to who I was then, which is impossible even if I wanted to, so much as moving forward to who I am going to be now, in this next phase of my life. I’m not reclaiming who I was; I’m discovering who I am now. Older, wiser, kinder, and softer (physically and mentally).
And maybe, if I’m lucky, I’ll even figure out how to do needlepoint.
he spirit of the Crescent City has a uniquely infectious way of seeping into your blood and staying there so long as you draw breath. Many New Orleanians leave at one point or another, only to find a deep yearning to return to this magical place, for all its boons and busts, because it is and will always be home. So, when a bright and talented NOLA native returns from the great outside world and brings those talents and experiences back to us, it’s always a cause for celebration and merriment, usually with great food and drink.
TSuch is the case with Kaitlin Guerin, pastry chef extraordinaire and the driving creative force behind Lagniappe Bakehouse, which opened in Central City last year to applause and acclaim not just from locals, but national culinary media and James Beard Foundation as well. Guerin, who studied dance at the Willow School and pursued that dream on both coasts, found a passion for patisserie while living and dancing in San Francisco. “I was dancing in the Bay area for some time with smaller companies and doing contract gigs and found myself ‘stress-baking’ and discovering a lot of interest and passion in desserts and pastry,” she said. Guerin attended the International Culinary Institute, which led to an externship at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Copenhagen, Denmark. With her star and culinary career on the rise, fate would bring her back to the Big Easy. “I knew I needed to come back home,” she said. “My grandmother was sick, and I wanted to come back to be with family and
spend time with her. And, ironically or not ironically, that happened to be January of 2020, right as the pandemic was happening.”
During that strange period, which spurred a storm of innovation amongst our culinary community, Guerin started a pop-up bakery out of her house in order to keep her skills sharp, and to keep her community well-stocked in croissants, muffins and cakes. Several years later, that pop-up birthed a brick-and-mortar bakery in the heart of Central City, offering locals and visitors a bounty of treats inflected with the flavors and incorporating ideas and ingredients from West Africa, polished French technique and a distinctly New Orleanian playfulness. That is exactly what you’ll find at Lagniappe. A sunny, cozy shotgun house on Euterpe Street with a sprawling live oak in the front yard providing perfect shade for a long, lazy breakfast or afternoon pick-me-up.
In a city renowned for its baked goods, how does Lagniappe set itself apart? One only needs to sample Guerin’s wares to discover that this isn’t your run-of-the-mill bake shop, but rather something uniquely special and novel, particularly with her use of both local ingredients and global influences. Said Guerin, “My partner, Lino, is Cameroonian, so we wanted to really make sure to keep as much as possible a lot of the ingredients within these foodways, and that’s easy and challenging in the way that our coffee program is as much as possible, single origin, African beans and we’re using single-origin Tanzanian chocolate from Chris at Piety & Desire. And it’s those little nuances, that was really where
Dong Phuong Bakery
Odds are, if you’ve heard the name “Dong Phuong,” in this town, you’re likely to associate it with a king cake that has taken on a cult-like fandom approaching genuine zealotry. But the popular Vietnamese bakery has so much more to offer if you’re willing to pay a visit to New Orleans East, starting with the bakery menu with sublime crawfish pies, baked or steamed bao, a delightful assortment of Vietnamese desserts, and of course one of the best banh mi — sorry, “Vietnamese po-boys” — in town. And when you head that way, make sure to get more than you need; your friends and family will clearly want in on that bounty of baked beneficence!
Levee Baking Co.
When Levee opened its brick-andmortar location on Magazine Street in 2019, we were so impressed we included it in our “Best of Dining” roundup. Six years later, it’s as delightful as ever, offering up naturally leavened breads and handmade pastries with meticulously sourced ingredients. A visit will net you savory selections like a twisted croissant stuffed with prosciutto and gruyere, farm fresh egg sandwiches, and then of course a smorgasbord of danishes, cookies, brownies, buns and biscuits. Just remember, they have a stellar cake menu available for special occasions. Who wouldn’t want to celebrate a birthday with a double-layer chocolate cake with decadent espresso buttercream?
the creativity came from. I love working within the realms of the South and of West and Central Africa for ingredients and inspiration. It was a way to really allow everything to be pure and simple but also complex at the same time.”
There are many standouts on Lagniappe’s menu. For starters, you’ll find a perfect Parisian croissant, as flaky, buttery and airy as you might at a cafe on the Seine, delicate and wholly satisfying. But if you favor a bit more depth and complexity, you’d be wise to order the pain au chocolate — the one featuring that exquisite Tanzanian chocolate — and then perhaps move on to a seasonal danish bursting with fresh local blueberries and adorned with edible flowers. For the more savory-minded, you’d be wise to order the “Vaucroissant,” a Vaucresson sausage link nestled in a cozy pastry bed, covered lightly with a latticed blanket. It will likely be the most elegant pig-in-a-blanket you’ve ever experienced, and also a heartening collaboration with Vaucresson, another local Black-owned business.
But it’s the African flavors that truly make Lagniappe’s offerings unique. Grains of paradise, alligator spice and hibiscus all find their way seamlessly into Guerin’s pastries. “The grains of paradise varietal that we’re using has a sweet licorice finish,” she said, “and that’s on our grades of paradise bun,
which is our take on a cardamom bun or cinnamon roll. We sprinkle it on top so that it’s highlighted and fresh, and that’s where you’re getting that burst of flavor.”
Alligator spice inflects the “gator claw” here, Guerin’s riff on a bear claw, which you’ll find in sweet or savory options. Also, when it’s available, don’t miss Guerin’s corn muffin dusted with raw sugar and drizzled with honey butter, and the sweet potato Basque cheesecake. Lagniappe’s coffee program includes traditional fare, as well as a matcha flavored with moringa, and their version of folere, a traditional Cameroonian tea with bright notes of hibiscus, orange, cardamom and other warming spices.
As for how Guerin feels about her homecoming, the pâtissière couldn’t be more pleased to be back in New Orleans. “I love the community here,” she said.” I love that we all are crazy, and we love to celebrate in the middle of summer and do things that are unconventional. You definitely don’t get that energy in a lot of other places. We all love what we do, and we inspire each other, and we’re willing to collaborate together to do something even better than before, and that’s powerful. And I love seeing that in our customers. It’s just that reaffirming idea that I was meant to come back here and to be here, and to do this.”
A New Orleans native, Guerin grew up with a passion for dance, which she studied here and then at Skidmore College in New York, after which she moved to the San Francisco Bay area. A rekindled passion for baking emerged, lead to a position as a pastry assistant and a pastry concentration at the International Culinary Institute in California. She completed her externship at the Michelin-starred Restaurant 108 in Copenhagen. Upon returning to New Orleans in 2020, she started Lagniappe Bakehouse as a pop-up in her home, which eventually led to the opening of her first brickand-mortar bakery last year. Guerin believes that she was destined to return to her home here in the Crescent City. “It’s that pull that the city has. Coming back and spending time with family again, learning about my roots and about myself, my identity as an Orleanian, as a Black woman in the South and in Louisiana, it felt like the perfect time for a homecoming.”

With the arrival of August comes the return of Saints football season, and it’s time to feed the fans. Pulled pork, once regarded strictly as something coming off a barbeque pit after a long and slow cook, has evolved into something we cook in the oven, a slow cooker, or even an Instant Pot. Thrifty and easy, the dish has deep roots in Southern culinary traditions. Hogs were introduced into the American culinary canon by early Spanish settlers. The animals thrived in the warm climate, and their texture responded well to the low and slow smoking method that the indigenous Caribbean people were already applying to game.
Marcus Woodham, executive chef at both The Bower and Birdy’s Behind the Bower, shared this easy recipe for a make-ahead crowd pleaser. You will want to bookmark it well beyond this late summer season.

@neworleansmagazine
1 I was pressed for time, so I cheated and used Palmetto brand pimento cheese, and it was just fine, though I am sure Chef Woodham’s is better.
2 The potatoes can be cooked up to the point where they are to be fried the day before.
3 The eggs can be poached in advance and reheated.
4 The Tabasco hollandaise can be made the day before and reheated in a water bath.
From Birdy’s Behind the Bower Serves 10
Roasted Pulled Pork:
1 Boston pork butt (boneless preferably), approximately 7 pounds
1 cup hot sauce, such as Crystal or Louisiana brand
Kosher salt, coarse black pepper, and Creole seasoning as needed
2 cups orange juice
1 tablespoon each garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried Italian herb blend
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
1. Preheat oven to 250F.
2. Place pork in a deep roasting pan and rub it on all sides with hot sauce, then rub generously with salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning.
3. Combine the remaining hot sauce, the orange juice, garlic, onion powders, paprika, Italian herbs blends, cayenne and chili powder.
4. Scatter the onions and the jalapenos around the pork in the roasting pan.
5. Pour the seasoned liquid into the pan around the pork.
6. Wrap the pan in heavy duty aluminum foil (or if your pan has a lid use that) and place into the oven overnight, roughly 8 hours.
7. Remove the pork from the oven. Discard the foil. Reserve some of the cooking liquid in case you need it to moisten the pork. Allow the pork to rest for 15 minutes before using a pair of metal tongs to shred the pork.
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup Blue Plate mayonnaise Creole seasoning to taste
1 8-ounce jar diced pimento peppers (canned roasted red peppers work as well), drained
8 ounces shredded sharp cheddar
8 ounces shredded pepperjack cheese
1. Use a stand mixer or a hand beater to whip the cream cheese and the mayonnaise until light and fluffy.
2. Add Creole seasoning to taste and blend.
3. Add the pimentos and blend.
4. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the cheeses until they all come together.
5. Let mixture rest, refrigerated, for at least 30 minutes before use.
Crispy potatoes
2 1-pound bags of fingerling or baby golden potatoes
1 cup Zatarain’s or Old Bay crab boil seasoning
Oil for Frying
Salt to taste
1. Add the potatoes and the crab boil to a stock pot, cover with cold water, and boil the potatoes until tender, 15-20 minutes
2. Drain the potatoes. Lay them on a baking tray in a single layer and allow to cool for at least one hour.
3. Press each potato between your palms to flatten it into a little puck.
4. Using a pan or a pot, fry the potatoes in 350F oil until golden brown and crispy on both sides and finish them with a generous sprinkle of salt.
Poached eggs
2 eggs per person
1/8 cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons Kosher salt
1. Add the salt and vinegar to a deep pot of boiling water.
2. Carefully crack the eggs into a clear bowl. Carefully remove any shells that may have fallen in.
3. Use a long wooden spoon to create a whirlpool in the boiling water.
4. Immediately slip the eggs into the pot while the water is swirling.
5. Let the eggs sit in the simmering water for 3-5 minutes (3 minutes for runny, 5 for firm). Removing the eggs using a slotted spoon is safe once the whites hold their structure.
Tabasco Hollandaise
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter
3 egg yolks
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 Tablespoons Tabasco hot sauce
1. Bring a pot of water to a boil.
2. Meanwhile, gently melt the butter. Set aside and keep warm.
2. Add the egg yolks, Tabasco, and salt to a heatproof bowl and whisk thoroughly. Add your egg yolks, Tabasco and kosher salt and whisk together thoroughly.
3. Place the heatproof bowl over the pot of boiling water and continuously whisk the mixture together while slowly drizzling in the melted butter until the sauce has emulsified.
Assemble the Dish
For each portion, put a layer of potatoes at the bottom of a shallow bowl. The remaining ingredients should be layered as follows: pork, pimento cheese, poached eggs, and a drizzle of Hollandaise.
Sue Strachan agreed to write the book “Obituary Cocktail,” because, she admits, “I really liked the name!” The drink was invented sometime after Prohibition at Café Lafitte (now Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop). Back then, Café Lafitte was a favorite spot of bohemians and writers like Tennessee Williams. Ella Brennan famously mused, “Most girls go to finishing school, I went to Café Lafitte.” In 1953, the bar moved down the street and became Café Lafitte’s in Exile. The origin of the cocktail’s name remains murky, but multiple mentions in 1950s newspapers indicate its popularity. It disappeared from menus until the recent cocktail revival returned it to local venues. Strachan enjoyed her “research,” which included tasting Obituary Cocktails across the city like the one here from Fives in Jackson Square. There were other perks, too. “Old newspaper accounts are endlessly fascinating, because the French Quarter just sounds like so much fun back then,” Strachan said. Sitting on a barstool by Ella or Tennessee — how could it not be?
Obituary Cocktail
Courtesy, James O’Donnell, Fives
2 1/4 ounces Sipsmith London Dry gin
3/4 ounce La Quintinye dry vermouth
5-6 dashes Jade La Nouvelle-Orleans absinthe
Lemon twist
Combine the first three ingredients in a mixing glass. Add ice to about halfway, stir well, then strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a lemon twist. (Note: It is important to add the ice after the liquor to get the correct dilution.)

For a different take on the drink, substitute the gin with Old Tom gin, a slightly sweeter, older version of the spirit.
2
Always make sure to store your vermouth in the refrigerator. Treat it like wine, not liquor.

The key to this drink is balancing the ingredients. Sue says it’s easy to overdue the absinthe and insists you must make them one at a time. This is not a drink to batch for a party.

Louisiana healthcare providers are always there to keep you happy and healthy through all seasons of life.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana (Louisiana Blue) is devoted to its mission to improve the health and lives of Louisianians. August is National Immunization Awareness Month – are you up to date on vaccines? Getting shots isn’t just for kids – adults may need vaccines for pneumonia, shingles or tetanus depending on your age and medical history. Ask your healthcare provider about this at your annual wellness visit. In addition to finding out which vaccines your healthcare provider recommends for you, this yearly checkup is a great opportunity to talk with your provider about your overall well-being, ask any health-related questions you have, check your numbers for key health indicators like blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol, get prescriptions for any medication you need and schedule any preventive screenings you should have. If it’s been more than a year since you’ve had a checkup, schedule one soon.
Poydras Home Reimagined is Louisiana’s first Green House® Project community—this revolutionary care approach makes each resident the central decision maker in their own daily life. Poydras Home constructed two new buildings to house five Nursing Care homes and one Assisted Living Memory Care home. The Green House model groups a smaller number of residents to share each house, led by a small team of consistent Care Partners specially trained to make each day personally meaningful. Homes feature open floor plans and access to Poydras Home’s ample green spaces. Poydras Home’s interior campus was also transformed into a Center for Healthy Living to benefit all residents offering a therapy gym, fitness center, yoga studio, library, meditative space, expanded salon and spa, and multipurpose space for programming and education with a café coming soon. Poydras Home worked with Eskew Dumez Ripple architects to ensure the structural changes were adaptive while still rooted in aesthetic traditions.
Poydras Home now also offers Assisted Living Respite Memory Care. For move-in information, visit poydrashome.com. 5345 Magazine St., 504-897-0535.

These systems enable minimally invasive procedures in urology, gynecology, oncology, orthopedics, transplant, and general surgery, offering smaller incisions, less pain, and quicker recoveries. These robotic technologies allow our physicians to perform precise surgeries that preserve healthy tissue and enhance long-term results. Surgeons benefit from clearer, magnified views and highly precise, steady movements that improve accuracy during surgery, leading to fewer complications and faster patient recoveries.

Dear Kalamazoo,
The gentleman with the gravitydefying mustache – and shoulders bearing the weight of the world — stomped his feet perfunctorily on a nonexistent doormat and dragged his weary body to the bar.
The sun was shining bright in the Bywater that day, the first of June. In his head, though, it was storming.
Summoning the barkeep with a wave, he placed his order: a cold bottle of Barq’s and a double shot of anything strong, cheap and amber.
This is how hurricane season is greeted in New Orleans: with a grim resignation but a determination to soldier through.
Either by coincidence or providence – wherever your faith lies – Willie began crooning from the ancient jukebox occupying one of the barroom’s darker, dustier corners.
“Whiskey river, take my mind / Don’t let her memory torture me.”
Two barstools away, a Catholic priest — or a fellow simply dressed as one; in New Orleans, you can never be sure — silently observed the scene, versions of which have played out in neighborhood bars across the city every hurricane season since 2005.
Demonstrating the clarity that so often comes with a Roman collar, he swallowed any judgments with a sip from the frothy glass in front of him.

BY MIKE SCOTT/
“Happy hurricane season,” Mr. Mustache said when the bartender returned, raising his glass to no one in particular but to everyone at the same time, “and to all we lost 20 years ago.”
He didn’t mention Hurricane Katrina by name. He didn’t have to. When listing days that shall live in infamy, Aug. 29, 2005, resides at the top of New Orleans’ list.
Uncharacteristically, the bartender poured himself a shot. “Now, that’s something I can drink to,” he said.
Raising his glass, he added: “To sunsets at Bruning’s.”
“To all of West End,” Mr. Mustache answered.
Glasses were clinked. Glasses were drained.
The barkeep refilled them.
“To Bucktown,” he said.
Mr. Mustache: “Big Charity.”
Thus they continued their impromptu, tragedy-inspired parlor game, taking turns eulogizing a lost New Orleans.
Six Flags. The Lake Forest Plaza. So much of the Lower 9.
Faith in the Army Corps of Engineers. More than 1,300 souls.
The tens of thousands of others who evacuated, never to return.
Life-altering hurricanes are not a new phenomenon in New Orleans, of course. Every generation gets their own version of The Big One eventually. The first on record to hit New Orleans roared ashore in 1722, flattening the nascent city just four years after its founding.
There would be others: the storm of 1893. 1915. 1947. Betsy. Camille. Andrew.
But the high-water mark – if you will excuse an inelegant turn of phrase – was that damn Katrina, the storm by which all others have since been measured. Twenty years on, it is still achingly fresh in the minds of those who endured it.
Willie’s words faded out, and a solemn, funereal hush fell over the bar as the next song queued up.
Mr. Mustache stared into his empty shot glass. The bartender pretended to busy himself, clanking a few bottles needlessly and running his mung rag over the already clean bartop.
From the corner, the elegiac tones of Coldplay’s “Fix You” began playing.
As they did, the priest cleared his throat.
“Drew Brees,” he said.
Mr. Mustache looked over. “Huh?” “Drew Brees,” the priest repeated, adding, “Katrina took so much away from us, but it gave us Drew Brees.” Mr. Mustache drained a few glugs from his Barq’s and considered that. Drew Brees. That certainly wasn’t nothing.
“And all those volunteers,” the priest said. “From so many places. Such an outpouring of love.”
“About a billion new Carnival marching krewes,” Mr. Mustache conceded.
“And about a billion fleur-de-lis tattoos,” the priest said.
Reinvented, their parlor game continued.
Gen. Russel Honoré. The Cajun Navy. “Tremé.” An improved levee system. Banksy. A general consensus that the world needs New Orleans.
Once their game petered out, Mr. Mustache downed the last of his Barq’s and returned the empty bottle to the bar with a thump of finality, like the period at the end of a run-on sentence. He belched – and then he sighed.
He extended an open hand to the priest in a sign of unspoken gratitude. The priest accepted and shook it with a soft, knowing nod. Mr. Mustache then doffed an imaginary cap in the bartender’s general direction.
“See you on Nov. 30th,” he said.
“Yep. Count on it,” the bartender responded. “I ain’t going nowhere, bruh.”
Insincerely yours, New Orleans
