On this week's #LouisianaEats!

From #NewOrleans To The World

On this week's show, we explore international food icons with humble roots that began right here in the Crescent City. We begin with writer and philanthropist @rfertel, who shares stories of his mother, Ruth U. Fertel. She founded @ruthschris Steakhouse, now a worldwide establishment, in New Orleans. Both of Randy's larger-than-life parents are the titular subjects of his 2011 memoir, The Gorilla Man and the Empress of Steak.

Then, we look back at one of New Orleans' most colorful culinary characters – the late Al Copeland – who built a global fast-food empire with his spicy #PopeyesFriedChicken. This kitchen-rags-to-chicken-riches story is the subject of the book, Secrets of a Tastemaker. Al Copeland Jr. relates his father's story with us.

Finally, we learn about the legendary public feud between Al Copeland and a local author whose vampire novels became global bestsellers: #AnneRice. Historian @sally_asher of @redsashtours takes us to Millionaire's Row in Metairie Cemetery where both of these famous New Orleanians are buried to recount this episode in the city's history.

To listen to the full show, visit: bit.ly/FromNOLAToTheWorld or see "Radio Show" link in our bio. For more Louisiana Eats! be sure to visit us at PoppyTooker.com.

Special thanks to all our sponsors: @lafishfry, @blueplatemayo, @dorignacs, @rousesmarkets, @camelliabeans, @popeyes, @crystal.hot.sauce, the Ralph Brennan Restaurant Group and Dickie Brennan & Co.

When the book club author walks in the door, we clean up. Sally Asher, photographer and author of ‘Hope & New Orleans’ joined the conversation this month and we will never see this city, or its quirky streets, the same way.
Lunch was incredible, the conversation was better. We’re super normal about all of this…totally.

Post 2/3. Our sweet Bella @puchungui_bella went to heaven two weeks ago. We miss her so much — her big smile with a twinkle in the eye, her happy tail, the pitter-patter of her following us everywhere.

Born in Cuba with her sister Rubia, she had a carefree youth in Habana del Este y Vedado until making the big move to La Yuma (US) at age 3. From Dog River to New Orleans to coastlines y casas all over, she was always ready for adventure and snuggles, equally adept at running wild to find something stinky, eating a live fish Mama caught for her, or helping Dad stay focused on the road.

Bella loved frolicking with her sister Fannie and friends Maggie, Ted, and Blossom. And while skeptical at first of her little sister Elizabeth, she was gentle and showed her the ropes of life low to the ground, not to mention the trout game. They were on their way to being adorably inseparable… 😍🥺

Puchi just missed her favorite festival, Jazzfest/Porchfest, where she was the belle of North Lopez, receiving her fans on her porch perch. Today her flag flies high and we fest for her. And we share these pics, in rough chronological order, celebrating our sweetest Bella, hasta infinito y más allá 💞
Te amamos siempre Puchungui ❤️🐕

Made it to the @kreweofmuses pre-party! Found @jjgreene11. @sally_asher found me!

Introduced myself to @soledadobrien, our Honorary Muse. I'm sure the ride will be great. Meeting Soledad? Incomparable! She's doing important work. Tonight though, it's all about the fun!

Another set of sisters! It's Muses Thersday. 🌟 These gold flats were such fun to decorate. 🌟 They're deceptively heavy. 💪🏽

I'm riding on FLOAT 23, lower deck, neutral ground side, 4th from the back. See you tonight, friends!

It's Muses Thersday! These cousins are elegant and have had some fun in their day!

I enjoyed working with all the bling and sparkly tidbits. I like this so much you'd think glittering is my #1 creative sport. Not quite. 🤭 Though, at certain times during the year, quilting takes a backseat.

Tonight's the night. You can find me on FLOAT 23, lower deck, neutral ground side, 4th from the back. I hope to see you there. 🫶🏽
