It’s New Orleans: Out to Lunch

Hosted ByPeter Ricchiuti

Tulane University A.B. Freeman School of Business finance professor Peter Ricchiuti holds court over lunch at Columns in Uptown New Orleans. Peter's lunch guests are New Orleans business people, from startups to CEO's, from artists to tech entrepreneurs, musicians to movers-and-shakers. New Orleans is on everybody's list as a great place to party but it's also on many lists of the best place to start a business. Peter's deeply knowledgable and equally levity-laden approach to business conversation neatly makese sense of the Crescent City's contradictions.

In the town that cholesterol forgot we ve started demanding to know more about what s in what we eat and take more care in selecting what we prepare at home for ourselves and our families. Seth Hamstead opened full service butcher Cleaver and Co to source locally grown meat from producers he can go meet. From a location that is not exactly a realtor s dream in a less traveled part of Uptown, Cleaver and Co has a loyal and growing clientele of carnivores. Tess Monaghan came to New Orleans from Yale and dragged some classmates with her to open online farmer s market Good Eggs. Sourcing fresh, organic fruit and veggies from local growers, and artisinal foodstuffs from pies to puree, Good Eggs is not only a farmer s market, it s a farmer s market in your house they deliver
