Big chill in sight [ Local Stories]

That cold front is going to change things big time! Highs Sunday will be in the low 50s. Lows Monday will be near 30 Northshore to mid to upper 30s South. Highs near 50. It's going to be breezy too. Going out to Martin Luther King, Junior Day be aware of the cold weather. It will be sunny though!

Colder Tuesday morning with lows mid to upper 20s Northshore to low to mid 30s South. Highs will be in the low 50s again. Some freezing temps possible again Wednesday morning on the Northshore, but a warm up begins. Northshore will likely need to protect tender vegetation Monday and Tuesday, and maybe Wednesday. South Shore may have some freezing temps away from the lakes Tuesday morning. This is something to monitor.

Remember 2 years ago on the 16th and 17th? We had an arctic outbreak with freezing rain, sleet and snow. The causeway closed due to icing. We had ice chunks on the steps at the lakefront. Record lows happened on the 17th. 14 at Hammond, 15 Slidell, 17 Gulfport, 20 Airport, 20 Lakefront. Highs were only in the mid 30s.

Folk Alliance Conference may be as powerful as Jazz Fest in helping musicians’ careers. - [OffBeat Magazine]

Many a musician has acquired a much larger new audience by being selected to perform at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

By gigging at the Fest, thousands of musicians have been heard by festival promoters, talent bookers, management company representatives, record labels, publicity people and club owners from literally around the world—to say nothing of the hundreds of thousands of Fest-goers who perhaps never had the opportunity to see or hear some of our great local music. It can truthfully be said that the Jazz Fest has been responsible for many a band’s career in music. (An aside: The Jazz Fest 2020 schedule will be available tomorrow at an undisclosed time; we’ll post it as soon as they give it to OffBeat).

The same holds true for the musicians who are lucky enough to have been selected to play at the Folk Alliance International (FAI) Convention.

I was pretty familiar with FAI through my old friend Louis Jay Meyers. Meyers was a smart, cool cookie, musician and concert promoter, and one of the co-founders of South By Southwest in Austin. He left SXSW in 1994, selling his share of the business, came to New Orleans and attempted to start a similar event in New Orleans: LMNOP (Louisiana Music, New Orleans Proud). It lasted three years. Meyers then went on to head up the Folk Alliance, back then based in Memphis. Sadly, Meyers passed away suddenly of a heart attack in early 2016; a great loss for FAI and for music folk, in general.

Another friend, Reid Wick, who’s now with the Recording Academy, attended a Folk Alliance Convention, and came back raving to me about how fantastic and different it was. That was probably 10 to 12 years ago (forgive me, Reid, if I don’t have the timing right), and right away the idea was hatched to ask FAI to have the event in New Orleans. Lucky for all of us music freaks, Wick is now on the board of FAI, and persuaded the powers-that-be (now headquarterd in Kansas City) to have the conference in New Orleans this year.

I can’t recommend this event enough to anyone who is involved in music in New Orleans. There are multiple showcases of Louisiana-based or –borne musicians, mentoring sessions, workshops, networking with music biz professionals (including festival and talent bookers from all over) and so much more. It’s sort of what “South By” used to be in its earlier years: less tech and corporate, more musician-centric, smaller and more manageable, and very user-friendly. Keynote speakers are Rhiannon Giddens (see a conversation with her in our January issue) and Mavis Staples. How can you beat that?

I’m so happy that OffBeat is part of this event (we are co-sponsoring Louisiana showcases with WWOZ on January 22 and 25). I wish I could go to every event on every day including all the showcases. There are multiple showcases throughout the event, but what’s even more interesting is that there are small, private showcases that take place in hotel rooms at the Sheraton. So you can go from showcase to showcase to hear fabulous musicians you may not have been familiar with.

Take our poll, and you may get a chance to win a pair of passes to FAI New Orleans. You really have to take every chance you can to make it there. It’s that good.

The post Folk Alliance Conference may be as powerful as Jazz Fest in helping musicians’ careers. appeared first on OffBeat Magazine.

Mid City’s Buzzy Butcher Shop Piece of Meat Is Opening a New Steakhouse - [Eater New Orleans - All]

January 16, 2020Clair Lorell, Eater New Orleans - All, food

Piece of Meat | Josh Brasted/Eater NOLA

Chefs Leighann Smith and Daniel Jackson have purchased the building next door to the shop on Bienville Street

The highly-lauded chefs of Mid City’s buzzy Piece of Meat Butcher Shop and Restaurant are making plans for a neighborhood expansion, reports Mid City Messenger. The pair has purchased the building next door to the shop on Bienville Street in hopes of building a full-service steakhouse.

Leighann Smith and Daniel Jackson, who share the 2018 Eater NOLA Chef of the Year award, opened Piece of Meat in late April 2018. According to Mid City Messenger, they recently purchased the building at 3305-07 Bienville from Milton Gautreaux. Gautreaux had the property rezoned as commercial while hoping to open a breakfast spot, but it still requires approval to open as a restaurant.

Piece of Meat held a neighborhood meeting in the shop last night (January 15) as part of the approval process, with an invitation that stated “the new space would operate as an extension of the existing shop, and full-service steak house, with a classy-but-casual atmosphere.” The plan is to connect the two buildings and add an entrance for the dining area in the newly-acquired space.

Proposed hours for the new restaurant are from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and until 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Following the neighborhood meeting, the proposal will go before the City Planning Commission and then the City Council for a hearing and vote.

To learn more about Piece of Meat and its chefs, check out Eater NOLA’s 2018 chef of the year profile here.

Cochon Alums Bring Fresh Take On Chinese-American Takeout Fare to the LGD - [Eater New Orleans - All]

January 15, 2020Clair Lorell, Eater New Orleans - All, food

Shrimp wontons with spicy chili crunch from Blue Giant | William Hereford/Official Photo

The highly anticipated Blue Giant is now open for lunch and dinner on Magazine Street

Blue Giant, the (very) long-anticipated American-Chinese restaurant from Cochon alums Bill Jones and Richard Horner, is now serving lunch and dinner at 1300 Magazine Street in the Lower Garden District.

Calling it “straightforward American-Chinese food with the best ingredients we can find,” the pair’s extensive menu includes peking duck, fried rice, egg foo young, shrimp wontons, blue crab rangoon, dan dan noodles, and blanched bok choy with a sauce made from Louisiana oysters. Appetizers range from $3 to $10, with noodle and entree dishes between $14 and $18, (except for the whole peking duck for $65).

The idea to team up for a restaurant was created over drinks at neighboring watering hole Barrel Proof, and they’ve since made pop-up appearances at a few friends’ hotspots like Blue Oak BBQ and Turkey and the Wolf. Horner, who also previously cooked at Garden District favorite Coquette and the now-closed Olivia in Austin, will run the bar and dining room while Jones will run the kitchen.

Jones, who in addition to Cochon and Cochon Butcher has spent time working in Chicago, grew up on the North Shore eating at Chinese restaurant Trey Yuen. The pair acknowledges that the dishes on Blue Giant’s menu wouldn’t be found in China, but that rather they represent a big part of the comfort food they, and many Americans, grew up eating.

Blue Giant is open for lunch Wednesday through Monday from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and for dinner 5:30 to 10 p.m., and closed on Tuesday.

Damaging winds possible [ Local Stories]

We have already seen strong storms in Texas with numerous wind damage reports and hail reports. Winds in San Antonio gusted to 77 mph in the severe t-storm warning there. The squall line is marching to the East now at 40 mph. It will move into our area in the morning around 8 or 9 o'clock. Storms will develop ahead of the squall line. Those storms could become tornadoes. We will have very fast winds out of the south just off the surface, and very fast winds aloft from the west. This will help with the turning in the atmosphere, and also help cause damaging winds as the squall line moves through the area.

Big concern is damaging winds [ Local Stories]

The timing looks to be 8 AM- 12 PM, and then the rain is moving out quickly. Rainfall amounts of about an inch are forecast. 70 mph winds possible in the squall line. Tornadoes may form along the squall line, but also in storms out ahead of the squall line. Pick up anything outside that could become a projectile. If you live in a mobile home, consider going to a strong structure in the morning ahead of the squall line. Be aware that if you are driving a high profile vehicle north/south, the squall line will impact you.

The weather improves in the afternoon and for Sunday. The front stalls offshore, and then moves back to the North as a warm front Monday with higher rain chances again.

January 10, 2020Clair Lorell, Eater New Orleans - All, food

Eater

A bakery and cafe expand downtown, Magazine gets Thai street food, and more

This bi-monthly roundup of noteworthy restaurant openings covers freshly-minted spots in the New Orleans area. Did we miss a brand new eatery? Let us know.

January 10

Long Chim — Taking over the now-closed Superfood Bar on Magazine Street, Long Chim is now serving up dumplings, soups tom yung and khao soi, and “unicorn noodles,” a glass noodle dish with a purple tint from being soaked in butterfly pea flower. For now it’s just open Thursday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. 4113 Magazine St., Irish Channel.

Nola Caye — First announced last spring, NOLA Caye is a fast-casual Caribbean restaurant from the owners of the Westbank’s Restaurant des Familles, now open in the Warehouse District in a new mixed-use condo building. The menu offers ceviches and various ahi tuna dishes, tacos, burgers and sandwiches, and a fairly basic list of protein-based entrees. 898 Baronne St., Warehouse District.

Aqua S — Aqua S is an Australian ice cream shop known for whimsical soft-serve creations, rotating monthly flavors, and an Instagram-friendly, vibrant aesthetic. The specialty shop that originated in Sydney first announced the New Orleans location in March, part of its U.S. expansion that includes Houston and Virginia Beach. It finally opened over the holidays with apple cinnamon, signature sea salt, and toppings like lychee, popcorn, “fairy floss,” etc. 1000 Girod St. #4B, CBD.

Bearcat Cafe — A Jena Street city favorite for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free dining, Bearcat Cafe recently expanded with a new downtown cafe. The menu is split into Good Cat and Bad Cat sections, and is open for breakfast and lunch with vegan rancheros, vegetarian portobello Philly, and vegan queso, to name a few. 845 Carondelet St., Warehouse District.

Breads on Oak — Another downtown expansion now open is Breads on Oak, an all-vegan bakery offering breads, pastries, king cake, biscuit sandwiches, salads and vegan versions of muffulettas, burgers, and more. Open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. 222 Carondelet St., CBD.

Wind Advisory [ Local Stories]

Coastal flood advisory posted at Noon Friday through 3 PM Saturday. Tides will increase 1-2 feet along the coast thanks to strong onshore flow. Wind Advisory posted 6 PM through 3 PM Saturday. Winds 15-25-35 mph. Rainfall amounts look to be 1/2 inch to just over an inch. The squall line will move quickly through the area.

It's a good idea to pick up anything in your yard that could become a projectile, and also trim weak branches that could hit your home. Keep in mind strong west winds will develop as squall line moves through. This could be a problem for high profile vehicles traveling on elevated roadways. If you live in a mobile home, there is the potential for tornadoes and high winds. It's a good idea to go into a sturdy structure during around 8 AM- 1 PM, or until the squall line moves through your area.

Power outages are likely as this squall line moves through.

In Town for LSU-Clemson? Where To Eat and Drink Near the Superdome - [Eater New Orleans - All]

January 08, 2020Beth D'Addono, Eater New Orleans - All, food

Banh mi tacos, double burgers, and roast beef debris-topped mac and cheese

No one’s saying that the ‘Dome dog and an order of chili cheese fries don’t make for a filling snack during a game, but sometimes a fan needs more. For those times, here are some places within a mile or less of the Superdome. A few stay open late for celebrating (or drinking to forget) after the game. Some offer hearty pub grub, while others jump a step above the usual burgers and wings. Every spot is a winner.
