RL Reeves Jr Mexican Green Spaghetti Method
A hundred years later, brisket, a long-running warhorse in the Texas barbecue game, took on added verve when Bobby Mueller and his son John strapped a rocket to a steer’s ass and redefined what we thought of the old menu staple.
Yeah, we’d all been eating brisket since the FDR era but we’d never had it like this. Bobby and John are both deceased but before their passing Bobby told me that the barbecue he was serving would’ve been declared ‘over-cooked’ when he was on the come up.
2025 Scene Boosters Marching Club Second Line
The 2025 Scene Boosters Marching Club Second Line saw a few thousand people march through the historic Central City neighborhood of New Orleans 3rd Ward. This is what we saw:
Dynasties have been built. Rebellions have been quelled. Romances kindled. Reputations grown. Kingdoms overthrown.

The world of southern mayonnaise is as intriguing as any Tennessee Williams drama ever writ. Seismic rifts have jarred entire states over this fine emulsion.
Marie-Antoine Carême, the father of mayonnaise, emerged from the kitchens of 19th century France as a lion of haute cuisine.
Reflecting back on his life spent cooking over primitive, hot stoves he would exclaim: “Charcoal kills us, but what does it matter? The shorter the life, the greater the glory!”
Spoken like a true lover of mayonnaise.

Terranova Brothers Superette
Terranova Brothers Superette marked their 100th anniversary today by closing their doors forever. The old butchery and small grocery store is no more. Their deli infamously authored the best muffaletta in the city and did so with verve by only making 10 on Saturday morning.
First come first serve.
We rolled by there bright and early to snag a pair but the butcher informed me that since it was their final day they decided to go out with a whimper instead of a bang and not make their signature sandwich one final time.
I wanted to roll him but instead wished him a happy retirement and quit the premises.
2025 Money Wasters Social and Pleasure Second Line
It was 106° this past Sunday when we rolled with Money Wasters Social and Pleasure. Summer is three weeks away. This is what we saw on our stroll across the blast furnace blacktop into the deepest heart of the Treme.
The Original Brown Derby II. 755 N. Claiborne Ave, New Orleans, Louisiana
One of New Orleans best and cheapest po boy, hotplate joints is no more. We were rolling on a second line today and noticed a track hoe sitting astride what had formerly been a neighborhood lynchpin.
Rest in peace Brown Derby II.
