I’ve lived in New Orleans for roughly eight years – save a year and a half stint in New York before I was helplessly lassoed back by unflinching homesickness – and no matter how many times I walk the French Quarter streets, I’m utterly enamored. The sense of beauty and history seeping out of every sidewalk crack is all consuming, and I’m consistently rendered starry eyed. With that said, we’d be remiss not to make a French Quarter-themed podcast, so that’s exactly what you’ll find here. In this episode of GoNOLA Radio, Sunpie Barnes takes us through some of the best food, music and fun to discover in the New Orleans neighborhood, all of which is a National Historic Landmark.

There's nothing like the New Orleans French Quarter, or the Vieux Carre as it's also known. From Bourbon Street to Jackson Square, to the French Market, the French Quarter embodies the history and spirit of New Orleans. This week our noble hosts speak to people who make the magic happen in our national historical landmark. It doesn't get more New Orleans than a Friday lunch or a Sunday Brunch at Galatoire's on Bourbon Street. New Orleans food goddess Lorin Gaudin talks to the new chef of the fine dining restaurant about cooking classic New Orleans dishes and bringing new tricks to the table. Lorin Gaudin: The food of the French Quarter can be defined by many dishes. Elegant eggs, bananas foster, gumbo ya ya, barbecued shrimp, oysters Rockefeller and bienville, burgers and baked potatoes, enfilades, po'boys, e'touffee and all those glorious edibles that compose New Orleans culinary canon. In what other American city can you dine in a restaurant, centuries old, feasting and sipping cocktails from lunch all the way through dinner, lingering and laughing. An experience that's unparalleled. Today we step into the tiled wall dining room of Galatoire's to talk with executive chef, Michael Sichel, who brings his classic heart and modern spirit to the deliciousness of this Grande Dame restaurant. Welcome Michael. Michael: Thank you Lorin. Lorin: Thanks for being with me. Michael: It's wonderful. Lorin: This is beautiful. It's magical to sit in the dining room at Galatoire's and the food here is just incredible. The menu I think is embodied by traditional dishes, things like crabmeat maison, remoulade, pompano en papillote, meuniere Amandine, all those things, even the pomme de terre souffle, or souffle potatoes as you guys call them here. So many dishes important to this restaurant. How much fun are you having making those dishes and keeping that love alive? Michael: Well, as you know,
