Out To Lunch - New Orleans Business Podcast

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.

April 23, 2015 Out to Lunch Comments Off on Jazz Fest Economy – Out to Lunch – It’s New Orleans

When you go to Jazz Fest do you have stuff you have to do? Is there one band you have to see or one food item you have to eat? For many people that annual treat is Crawfish Monica. It’s one of Jazz Fest’s most popular dishes.

On this edition of Out to Lunch we have crawfish, and Monica.

Monica Davidson, the Monica from Crawfish Monica and co-owner of Kajun Kettle Foods, joins Peter for lunch.

Frank Relle is also Peter’s guest today. If you don’t know Frank’s name you probably know his iconic New Orleans and Louisiana photos.

If you’ve been to Jazz Fest in the last eleven years you’ve seen Frank out there selling them. You might also have seen Frank’s photos in the New York Times, or at Kanye West’s house the last time you were over there.
