Today in New Orleans: 5.25.12 Today, Festin' goes Greek, KD Lang and the Siss Boom Bang play the Mahailia Jackson Theatre and chamber music sidles up to the Piazza. On this day in New Orleans history, banjo player "Creole" George Guenson (1907) and R&B singer Donnie Elbert (1934) were born, and R&B singer Roy Brown died (1981). Now, here's more about these pre-Memorial Day offerings: Today in New Orleans: 5.23.12 Today, Wednesday in the Square hosts Trombone Shorty, the fourth season of Air Sex Championships romps into Republic and the New Orelans Food and Wine Experience opens another bottle. On this day in Louisiana history, a posse ambushed Bonnie and Clyde near Gibsland (1934). Here's a roundup you'll appreciate a little more: Today in New Orleans: 5.22.12 Today, the New Orleans Food and Wine Experience kicks off, New Orleanians get a sneak peek of a documentary about violence in our city and one of the city's best sax men plays on Bourbon. On this day in New Orleans history, Ernie K-Doe's Mother-in-Law hit #1 on the Billboard pop charts (1961), and five members of N.W.A. were arrested after a 50-person riot broke out at the Sheraton Hotel when the L.A. rappers were denied entry (1992). Now back to today: Today's Events: 5.28.11 May 28, when London sees the first swimming pool (1742), when the U.S. stock market dropped $20.8 billion in one day (1962), when Walker Percy (1916), Gladys Knight (1944), Patch Adams (1945), and Kylie Minogue (1968) were born, and when Gary Coleman died (2010). Here’s to taking a dip: Today's Events: 5.24.11 May 24, the birth of Bob Dylan (1941), “Mary Had A Little Lamb” (1830) and Julius Caesar (15). It 's the day when Gen. Zachary Taylor captured Monterrey during the Mexican War (1846), the premiere of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) and the day Duke Ellington passed (1974). How to beat the most famous Roman ruler, folk singer, and Jazz musician of all time? Tres Simple: NOLA Food & Wine Experience Exposed!NODEF Eats & Drinks, So You Don't Have To. Earlier, in the week, I found myself at a local dive sipping some cocktails with chef, Tom Wolfe. I had run into Wolfe randomly, and I was delighted, yet nonplussed to find myself in a dimly lit bar trading notes on food with an expert. As the evening wound down, Wolfe remarked that he disliked the term “celebrity chef.” The comment and context summed up the essence of New Orleans’ legendary food world: quality without pretense, food that elevates the City not one chef or venue.
