Let the Bad Times Roll: Richman Eats New Orleans
Alan Richman kicks the Big Easy while it's down. The blogosphere responds in kind:Alan Richman is a colleague and friend. He is one of our greatest and most celebrated food writers. He is a professional curmudgeon who can be pointed and funny when he sets his sights on appropriate targets.
All of that being said, Richman has written a slothful, meanspirited, and myopic piece about New Orleans food, restaurants, and culture in the November GQ.
I could go on and on about Richman's shamefully skewed view of New Orleans. But another friend and colleague, Brett Anderson, has written an extremely insightful and cogent response.
Please read Richman's piece and Anderson's response and decide for yourself.
