The pleasures of New Orleans food are often attributed to the high standards and culinary skills of the French colonists. However, a closer look reveals that all the peoples of New Orleans have made significant contributions, perhaps none more so than the west African residents. Join us for a talk about the origins of New Orleans food, its cultural significance, and its current state.
Lolis Eric Elie is a New Orleans born, Los Angeles based writer and filmmaker. His television credits include work on “Bosch,” “The Chi,” "The Man in the High Castle," "Greenleaf" and the HBO series "Treme."
