Tom Fitzmorris has been covering the food scene in New Orleans for nearly 50 years. Starting out at the Driftwood newspaper at UNO, his first dining column ran in 1972, and it reviewed The Flambeau Room, operated by Peter Sclafani.

Visit their website nomenu.com and Instagram page,@theneworleansmenu. Tom has written a number of books, most notably Tom Fitzmorris’s New Orleans Food, Hungry Town, and The Lost Restaurants of New Orleans, though The Eat Book, celebrating 30 years of publication, remains a personal favorite.

Today, Mary Ann’s guest is Meagan and Mark Taliancich, owners of the Happy Raptor Distillery.  They just released their King Cake flavored Rum, only available from January 6th ’til Mardi Gras.
