LOVE Susan, Mark! She rose to fame in a French Quarter
bistro a block away in a challenging male dominated
field and I am so happy for her success.
I have a cute story about Paul Prudhomme's early days
told to me by a waitor who worked with Kay, when she
was dating Paul. She was taking a lot of ribbing in the
kitchen for seeing such a rotund suitor and was quoted
as saying, "I don't care, he's gonna be a RICH rotund!"
( not exactly the adjectives but you get the picture
and was she right!)
Well I hope we can save the Quarter before it's too
late. Write the Mayor! He might even answer a letter
from a tourist! :)
Have a good holiday,
Rose
