Tom Fitzmorris has been hosting a daily radio show about New Orleans food and dining for 28 years. Since 1977, Tom has also published the New Orleans MENU, a newsletter offering reader restaurant reviews, New Orleans recipes, and more.
In today’s episode, Mark drops in on Tom’s radio show to ask about the history of the New Orleans tradition known as reveillon.
After their discussion Mark helps you plan your reveillon experience including his top choices for places to dine this holiday season. We also explore some of the actual menus – if you can’t make it to the Crescent City, you can get some great ideas for your own holiday meals.
All this and more on episode #24 of Beyond Bourbon Street!
