Trying to pass it on
Ever since T and I met we have talked about how we want to give back to the community some of our bounty. One of the things we always come back to is nutrition and feeding the hungry. We’ve talked about a bus converted to a moving restaurant for the poor, breakfast for poor kids, you name it. But in the end every time we think we have come up with something a friend “in the know” tells us how we would be doing more harm than good. Then one day while we were sifting through many of these ideas, I was standing in Swirl when a friend walked in with Janet who was opening up Liberty Kitchen – a restaurant devoted to teaching kids A to Z about hospitality while also dishing up good food. I sent a check for the cause but missed the opening party and all along have been taken with the work they were trying to do there.
Then I found out my cousin’s husband is the chef. Duh! Small world. So I went to meet my cousin finally for the lunch we never seem to be able to have and we ate there and first, the food was rocking delicious, but second I re-met Janet while there and realized I had been in her house because I was talking to her husband about tree cutting and he was showing me his trees that were recently cut. It’s a very small world. We’re neighbors.
And so if this world is small enough that you are reading this email and happen to be anywhere near Tulane and Broad – go eat at Liberty Kitchen. A big thumbs up.
The cathead biscuits tasted just like my grandmother used to make.
