I love this book. If I can quote myself: It’s true, I read at a fourth grade level. But, this book sings to me. Knowing a place’s history helps me understand it’s current focus and likely trajectory. It’s like the History Channel high on Truffles.

I think you should read this book, too. I even have a fresh copy (not the one I already read all over). Sign up below to win Hungry Town: A Culinary History of New Orleans.
