Louisiana Eats: April Fools

 Click Here To Listen To This Week's Show.

This week, we’re bringing you a special April Fools edition of 

Louisiana Eats! One of the stories in this hour is a joke, but the rest are so wild, you may not be able to separate the fact from the fiction!We begin with zoologist and author Bill Schutt, whose new book focuses on the most taboo of topics: cannibalism. Bill gives us the full story on a truly humanist cuisine.

 

Next, Top Chef star Isaac Toups tells us a seemingly tall tale about high-speed game hunting in Mississippi.

 

Then, we meet Janie Boisclair, whose experiences channeling recipes from the beyond have earned her the moniker of clairvoyant gourmet.

 

We also share a magical encounter with Josh Beckerman, a New York-based blogger, comedian, and self-proclaimed foodie magician. Josh shows off his slight of hand and we find ourselves spellbound. 

 

Finally, if you’re looking to visit the hottest restaurants in New Orleans, you’d be wise to talk to Kevin Allman, editor of Gambit. We check in with Kevin about one of the newest, trendiest restaurants in the Bywater that you’ve probably never heard of.
