Today, Mary Ann talks about their lunch yesterday at Habanero, which was the only place open before the hurricane. and Lola today.  Both on the Northshore.

Tom Fitzmorris has been covering the food scene in New Orleans for nearly 50 years. Starting out at the Driftwood newspaper at UNO, his first dining column ran in 1972, and it reviewed The Flambeau Room, operated by Peter Sclafani.

In April of 2019 one of Tom’s dreams was realized when Mary Ann joined the show as co-host. A year later the show moved back to AM radio right here on WGSO.  Due to Tom’s failing health, he can no longer broadcast, and Mary Ann is now the full-time host of The Food Show.

Visit their website nomenu.com and Instagram page,@theneworleansmenu. Tom has written a number of books, most notably Tom Fitzmorris’s New Orleans Food, Hungry Town, and The Lost Restaurants of New Orleans, though The Eat Book, celebrating 30 years of publication, remains a personal favorite.
