About meWhen we no longer have good cooking in the world, we will have no literature, nor high and sharp intelligence, nor friendly gathering, nor social harmony.
Marie-Antoine Careme, Chef (1784-1833)

I found your page because we share my most recent additon, John Besh's "My New Orleans." It's my most recent only because the Early Reviewers "The Complete Chile Pepper Book" is in my unprocessed mail bin. That and as a 1980 grad of The College who misses "Garbage Pizza add anchovies" at The Medici, I thought I'd say "hi."
