The Roman Candy Man

If you’ve spent any length of time in New Orleans outside of the French Quarter, you’ve likely come across a raised wooden cart, pulled by a horse. Inside, a person is making sticks of confectionary known to generations of kids as Roman Candy.

Today, I’m joined by one of the Roman Candy men, Mr. Daniel Kottemann.
