Kuyamangalisa into yokuba abantu abakrelekrele abaneenjongo ezintle banokwenza ukwandisa ukhenketho. Kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, iNew Orleans yaxoxwa ngosizi kunye neenyembezi kunye namaqela othando. Sasizibuza ukuba le extravaganza yabakhenkethi abangaphezulu kweyona ndawo iphambili inokuphinda iphinde ibuye njani. Ukusuka kwiZenzo zikaThixo, ukuya kwezopolitiko ezihlwempuzekileyo, kwabonakala ngathi ubuqaqawuli baseNew Orleans yayiza kuba sisifundo sembali kwizifundiswa. Amagcisa ezenkcubeko, iigourmets, iigourmands, kunye neoophile zazizakufuneka zithathe ukuthanda kwazo kwenye indawo… iNew Orleans yayingasekho.
Ngethamsanqa isixeko esixela ukuba "Mahle amaXesha aMnandi" asivanga isandi esibuhlungu sabangaphandle. Oosomashishini kunye neenkokheli zopolitiko bazithathele kwingqushu yaseKatrina kwaye bavelisa isixeko esinexabiso elinokutya okumnandi, iwayini elungileyo, indawo enkulu yokuthenga, iimyuziyam ezinomdla kunye nejoie-de-vivre ehlala ebusweni bakho. Abantwana ababaleka ezitratweni nakwiindawo zokuphembelela iihotele bonwabile; abazali bonwabile; kwaye abantu abadala bahamba ngolonwabo ezitalatweni, bebambene ngezandla, bephuza iziselo, kwaye behamba ukuya kusasa kusasa.
Le yesihlanu kuthotho lwamacandelo amaninzi, "Ukuthatha kwam iNew Orleans," ngethemba, iya kubamba ulonwabo olwenza iNew Orleans ibe yindawo ekhethwa ngokukhetha hayi ngamabona-ndenzile.
Ukutya okulungileyo kunye nokuNgcamla okuhle. ENew Orleans.
Ngamanye amaxesha i-gourmets ayonwabi kwiivenkile zokutyela, ngelixa ngamanye amaxesha amava okutya ehotele adibanisa, kuba akukho mfuneko yokwenza umgudu omkhulu wokufika ngexesha. Ukukhwela ilifti kunye nohambo olufutshane… kwaye iinkumbulo zikhona ukuze zenziwe. Kwezinye iimeko, kugxininiswe kumpheki, ngelixa abanye bebeka indawo yokutya. Kwimeko yeCriollo, indawo entsha yokutyela evula kwi-Hotel Monteleone, ukutya kuye kwabhiyozelwa kakhulu, kangangokuba yenze amaqweqwe emagazini.
Intsha kangakanani iCriollo (iSpanish esithetha isiCreole)? Entsha kraca! Indawo yokutyela yavulwa ngokusesikweni ngoMeyi 23, 2012. Ukwazi kweChef de Cuisine, uJoseph Maynard, kunye noMphathi weSigqeba, uRandolph Buck, kunokwenzeka ukuba benze oku "ukuya" kwindawo yokutya okulungileyo. U-Betsie Gambel we-Gamble PR ubize imenyu ephefumlelweyo njenge "Louisiana Fusion."
UChef Maynard uza eNew Orleans ngeFlorida apho wafunda khona kwiSoutheast Institute of Culinary Arts eSt Augustine. Uye wanxulumana neDelano Hotel eMiami kunye neAsia de Cuba eMiami's Mondrian Hotel.
Njengesiko laseNew Orleans, ukutya kugxile kwiimveliso ezitsha, ezikhule kwindawo kunye nokutya kwaselwandle. Abapheki baye baqulunqa izinto "zokutyikitya" ezivela kwi-Gulf Shrimp, i-Blue Crab, kunye ne-Avocado ekhonza kunye ne-coulis yetumato ebabayo kunye neoli yemifuno (bona ifoto) ukuya kwi-Black Bay Oysters ene-Swiss chard kunye ne-Herbsaint, i-Angel Hair Tetrazzini, iArtichokes, kunye Brie. Indawo yokutyela evezwe yicocktail ngumxube weNew Orleans Cajun Spice Run, Agave Nectar, Club Soda, Fresh Lemons, kunye namagqabi eminti.
Indawo yokutyela iseYurophu ngakumbi kuyilo kuneendawo zokutyela ezininzi zaseNew Orleans. Ngomgangatho we-limestone yaseFransi, kunye neendonga ezifakwe ngamaplanga zidityaniswe namalaphu amfusa nangwevu, i-ambiance intle kwaye iyavakala. Kubantu abatyayo abangenamdla omnye komnye kwaye bajonge ukuphazamiseka, cela itafile kufuphi nekhitshi evulekileyo kwaye ubukele abapheki benza umlingo wabo wokupheka.
