Here's the latest food news in New Orleans
by Annette Sisco "You can't let the state of things get you down," says Caitlin Carney, who's opening Seafood Sally's on Oak Street in New Orleans with her partner, Marcus Jacobs. The pair is also behind the popular Marjie's Grill in Mid-City. Restaurants continue to open in the Crescent City, even as the pandemic makes business conditions unpredictable. Ian McNulty has the story. With Mardi Gras parades on hiatus, a king cake feels like the perfect consolation prize for out-of-town friends who won't be with us this year. Check out our running list of bakeries that ship king cakes. Among the newest king cake bakers are some old New Orleans names: restaurants like Brennan's and Galatoire's are crafting and shipping cakes this year. In other news, we talked to Lindsay Allen about shucking oysters from her station at Sidecar Patio & Oyster Bar; checked in with Harbor Seafood in Kenner as it reopens a year after a devastating fire; and said farewell to "Sal the Fruit Man" Cannatella, an old-school New Orleans street vendor with a heart of gold. The perfect meal for Super Bowl Sunday might just be a big pot of chili, cooked low and slow. Get our favorite recipe here. What exactly is a "traditional" king cake?
