Alan Richman is an ass. He's a food and wine critic who recently wrote a scathing review of New Orleans and its restaurants. Yes, the idiot wrote about the city as if anyone cares about his opinions on cities. He's a food and wine critic! So he also denounces New Orleans for its food, but guess what he listed as his #1 pick for restaurants that matter? Commander's Palace. Again, what an ass.
One of his quotes from a podcast on GQ's website:
"New Orleans shouldn't exist." He says you should go to Charlston, South Carolina if you're looking for food like New Orleans style food. What??? Like gumbo? Jambalaya? Shrimp or Crawfish Etouffe? PoBoys? Is he crazy? How did this guy become a food critic?
He says he doesn't really like New Orleans- no kidding. He tries to explain the difference between Cajun and Creole, but says "Creoles" don't really exist and Cajun cuisine is really from Canada. This guy is such a freaking idiot he shouldn't be allowed within the city limits. If he comes back, chefs around the city should either kick him out of their restaurants or put him on the menu... ewe.
Here is a podcast of the ass speaking.

Ya, you should have the $20.00 gumbo in NYC, it tastes like campbells soup with tabasco in it. I can imagine Charleston having lots of crawfish and creoles around to throw together some great New Orleans cuisine. Ya right, Mississippi next door to Louisiana, can't make a gumbo or a po boy. How well can Charleston do it being on the east coast??
I think the city of New Orleans needs to sue the dumbass for libel. And then rebuild the city with the money.
