DESCRIPTION:
"Five Stars" according to Amazon Customer. So far good stories about the city. A plus was this was a signed book. Pamela Robinson said Serving up the skinny on New Orleans food. Writer and food maven Tom Fitzmorris calls on his storehouse of knowledge about his New Orleans and its romance with good food to produce the informative and highly readable "Hungry Town: A Culinary History of New Orleans, the City Where Food Is Almost Everything."Fitzmorris has been writing about food and his city since college days, arriving on the scene in the 1970s, just ahead of the Cajun food craze and the launch of such celebrity chefs as Paul Prudhomme and Emeril Lagasse. He has, over time, written books, blogs, newsletters, newspaper columns and, above all, led a food-focused radio show. He. Mary Katherine Aldin said Tom FitzMorris' Hungry Town.

Hungry Town is a must for both New Orleanians and lovers of New Orleans food.”— ANNE GOOCH, Galatoire’s Restaurant and New Orleans Wine and Food Experience co-founder“This book is a must-have for any New Orleanian or anyone traveling to New Orleans. This is a great tribute to the indomitable spirit of the New Orleans restaurant community, which brought our city back from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. For more than thirty-five years he’s written a weekly restaurant review, but he’s best known for a long-running, daily radio talk show devoted to New Orleans restaurants and cooking. In Tom Fitzmorris's Hungry Town, Fitzmorris movingly describes the disappearance of New Orleans’s food culture in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and its triumphant comeback—an essential element in the city’s recovery. What a delicious read!”— JOHN BESH, Besh Restaurant Group chef/owner“From his cat-bird seat, Tom Fitzmorris shares with us the family feuds, delicious tidbits, and vicious bites that comprise the New Orleans food scene of the late twentieth century.
