Creole Christmas! with Ti Martin + Poppy Tooker

Send us Fan MailThis episode is all about the famous NOLA Réveillon Dinners - 23 courses, all-night parties, holidays done New Orleans Style!We're blessed with some delicious restaurants in NOLA, and one of my personal favorites is Commander's Palace, a 130-year-old family-run creole restaurant in the heart of the Garden District. I'm talking to Ti Martin, owner of Commander's Palace, about how her family took on the restaurant in the 60s, how they select their ever-changing menu of delectable dishes, what's on the menu for their Réveillon Dinner, and how their waitstaff coordinate so we all get our dishes at the same time. That's real service, y'all! At the end of our conversation, Ti tells us the exciting news about her new fiancée!Then I talk to NOLA icon Poppy Tooker, New Orleans' native culinary activist, author, and host of NPR-affiliated radio show and podcast, Louisiana Eats! Poppy tells us all about the historic ways NOLA celebrates Christmas with feasts, including the old Réveillon Dinners, and the traditions of the old Catholic French Quarter.Support the showThank you to our family of amazing sponsors of UNSCRIPTED: The NolaPapa Podcast                                                 Ochsner Children’s HospitalWww.ochsner.orgRouses MarketsWww.ochsner.orgSTATE FARM® INSURANCE AGENT Leigh Ann Arcuri                www.ridewithla.comAudubon Nature Institute                                                                                                   www.aduboninstutue.org Cafe Du Monde                                                                            www.shop.cafedumonde.com                                                                         Sandpiper Vacations                                                                www.sandpipervacations.comNew Orleans Ice Cream Company                                 www.neworleansicecream.comERA TOP REALTY: Realtor Pamela Breaux                                                                Email to:[email protected] Orleans Tea Co.                                                 www.neworleansteacompany.comBottom of the Cup Tea Room                                                www.bottomofthecup.comAnd thank you to our AFTER DARK!
