You might ask why this New Orleans business magazine writer is wearing a gypsy scarf at the office? Well this particular one is a Montrealer from Mile End who drifted down to the Big Uneasy one year prior to Katrina, a nice little storm that cost her a roof.
Kathryn Morton is a foodie at heart, and loves to write restaurant and fine dining stuff. She confesses that her favourite all time job was " grilling up lamb cevapi behind the bar at Cafe Sarajevo on Clark St. (don't know if it's still open...)" Alas it shut down a few months ago when the owner got an offer he could not refuse.
"Living in New Orleans in 2006," she reports, "is like living in Montreal in 1985. You can feel well-off living on very little. You can also feel really, really bummed out about the idea of 'progress.'"
Howdy!
