Food Tour 2018: New Orleans

I am working to do more to support the few women who are recognized and encourage further growth in the numbers of successful women chefs. It’s time for my Tour of Food. My goal is to visit as many restaurants on this list as possible, planning several micro-trips. Fly in. Dine. Fly out. Join me in this new adventure and let me know if you have visited any of these spots.

Eating Time in NOLA

With My Beautiful Niece (Thing 3)

First trip on the Foodie Tour is this city that I have not visited since the late 90’s. Joining me will be my niece who turns 16 in 2018. All of my nieces and my nephew share parts of my personality but Gracie shares my love of food. She takes risks and is not afraid to try new food. So I am excited she will join me on this quick trip.

It’s not about us. It’s about them.

I’ve said this so many times it’s getting old, but some people just don’t seem to listen—and maybe, if I’m honest, I don’t always take my own advice either. Here it is: it really doesn’t matter what you said, how you said it, or what you intended. What matters, if you truly care about the other person, is how they felt.

The Quiet Strength of Supporting Others

If you’re already a dedicated “Giver” who uplifts others, a heartfelt thank you for your contributions to the circle of support.
