The Green Goddess Awakens in New Orleans!
~Welcome to The Green Goddess! That's the name for our new, small French Quarter restaurant. I've been emailing some cooks who replied to our ad on the N.O. site for craigslist.org, and asking them how the name resonates. Cooks are by nature a rather hard drinking lot, so it was natural they assumed we were pointing at the emerging absinthe revival. Quite a few mentioned the currency of "green" as it refers to the ethos of food.

The Wetting of the Green
~Odd Bits of Life in New Orleans

~It was a perfect day for a St. Patrick’s Day Parade: grey and drizzly with showers just strong enough to get you well wet but not to soak and chill to the bone. It was as if God smiled down on the parade, in that Odd way we like here abouts on Toulouse Street, and blessed the day with a little bit of Irish weather.
