An update! An honest-to-goodness new interview!
Today’s article is my dinner with New Orleans restaurant critic Tom Fitzmorris, the host of a long-running radio show dedicated solely to talking about food, in a city famed for its great restaurants. He also operates The New Orleans Menu website that’s overflowing with reviews and other information about the city’s cuisine.
When I do these interviews I just leave a tape recorder on the dining table rather than taking notes throughout the meal and breaking up the conversation flow. One of the benefits of doing this is that transcribing the conversation can be a real pleasure because it brings back fond memories of particularly fun dinners.
That was the case when replaying my night out with Tom. He was great company at our meal and had plenty to say about dining — along with pushing me to try some new dishes for the first time — and you can read about him here.
And a special shout-out to Tommy Andrade, owner of Tommy’s Cuisine where we had dinner. He’s a true gentlemen and first-rate restaurateur.
