NATIONAL SAXOPHONE DAY

National Saxophone Day commemorates the birth of the woodwind's inventor, Adolphe Sax, on November 6th. The saxophone is one of the main instruments in jazz music.

Born on November 6, 1814, Adolphe Sax invented many musical instruments including the saxophone. Sax constructed saxophones in several sizes in the early 1840s. On June 28, 1846, he received a 15-year patent for the instrument. The patent encompassed 14 different versions of the fundamental design, split into two categories of seven instruments each and ranging from sopranino to contrabass.

When is National Jazz Appreciation Month?

After Sax’s patent expired in 1866, several saxophonists and instrument manufacturers implemented their own improvements to the original design and key work.

Over the years, many great saxophone masters have graced the world with their music.

NATIONAL LOVE YOUR RED HAIR DAY

National Love Your Red Hair Day celebrates the beauty of those gorgeous red tresses annually on November 5th. There's no reason to be shy. Redheads get the spotlight to show off the unique qualities of red hair.

Many redheads feel like outcasts for having red hair. This celebration empowers redheads to feel confident, look amazing and rock their beauty. Red hair is more than a color; it's a lifestyle. Besides, redheads are rare. Less than 2 percent of the population is crowned with red hair. And those that are may very well be left-handed, too.

Most natural-born redheads (yes, some of us like the bottle) have brown eyes, followed by green or hazel. Coming in at 1% of the world’s population, the blue-eyed ginger is the rarest kind.

And redheads do stand out in a crowd. So, each unique and impressively stunning redhead gets to show off their locks.

Taysom Hill should be appreciated for turning back clock, matching Frank Gifford's feat

The clocks were supposed to be turned back only an hour Sunday.

Taysom Hill turned it back almost 60 years.

Hill, the most throwback of a football player to ever wear a Saints uniform, accomplished a feat Sunday that nobody in the NFL has done since before he was born.

Heck, many of the Saints players' parents weren't even born.

When Hill caught his 2-yard touchdown pass from Derek Carr in the second quarter of the Saints’ 24-17 victory over the Chicago Bears, it was the 10th touchdown reception of his career. He became the first player since the late Frank Gifford to throw 10 career touchdown passes, rush for 10 touchdowns and catch 10 TD passes.

“Half the guys in the locker room don’t know who Frank Gifford is,” coach Dennis Allen said.

Best guess here is that number is way more than half, which is understandable considering Gifford played for the New York Giants from 1952-1964.

Hill didn’t know about Gifford until he started approaching the mark.

“The stats guys have told me about these stats,” Hill said. “So I have heard of him.”

Gifford is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and was league MVP in 1956.

Hill won’t make his way into Canton, Ohio, but he no doubt has earned a spot in the Saints’ Hall of Fame. And if you were giving out an MVP trophy for the Saints on Sunday, it would have been Hill if not for the lights-out effort by cornerback Paulson Adebo (seven tackles, two interceptions, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery). But on offense, Hill owned the day. He’s a big reason the Saints were able to hold off a feisty Bears team that gave them more than you’d expect from a now 2-7 team.

Hill rushed 11 times for 52 yards, caught four passes for 13 yards and a touchdown and threw what ended up being the game-winning touchdown to Juwan Johnson with 11:05 left.

Taysom Hill's gear from the Saints' latest win is on its way to the Hall of Fame

BY LUKE JOHNSON

Taysom Hill may not wind up with a bust in Canton, Ohio, but he will be represented there.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame requested some game-worn gear from Hill's performance Sunday against the Chicago Bears, when he became the first player in modern NFL history to record 10 touchdowns passing, rushing and receiving in his career.

The last player to accomplish that feat was Hall of Famer Frank Gifford, who last played an NFL game in 1964.

SEC Power Rankings

The conference's top teams continue to show their strength, even when pitted against quality competition. Georgia and Alabama have both reduced their magic number to just one game after beating arguably their biggest threat in their respective divisions.

The Razorbacks finally earned their first conference win after playing so many teams so close this season, Kentucky got back on the winning track and Auburn earns the advantage in all-time meetings with Vanderbilt.

Forget preseason polls. Forget what happened last season. Disregard recruiting rankings and what these teams look like on paper. The only criteria considered in this season's BamaCentral SEC Power Rankings is what happens between the white lines during games.

Winning is rewarded and losing is punished in our 2023 Power Rankings, so lets get right to it as we react to eight weeks of football throughout the conference.

1. Georgia (-) (9-0, 6-0)

For the second year in a row the Bulldogs played a tight game against Missouri. Backup tight end Oscar Delp scored a touchdown in Brock Bowers's absence and the Dawgs forced two interceptions to send the Tigers back to Columbia with a loss.

2. Alabama (-) (8-1, 6-0)

The Alabama offense won its first shoot-out of the season with quarterback Jalen Milroe carrying the load for 155 yards rushing and four touchdowns. Resilience and grit seems to be the theme for the Crimson Tide as Alabama defeated LSU.

3. Ole Miss (-) (8-1, 5-1)

The Rebels survived a scare in Oxford by beating Texas A&M by three. Jaxson Dart passed for 387 yards with 213 going to Tre Harris. Quinshon Judkins got into the end zone thrice on Saturday and Ole Miss takes second in the SEC West all by themselves.

4. LSU (-) (6-3, 4-2)

The Tigers went to Tuscaloosa and gave the Tide a scare but ultimately came up short. Jayden Daniels showed his play-making ability accounting for 382 total yards and three touchdowns, but an untimely interception was the difference as the Bayou Bengals lost their second conference game.

5. Missouri (-) (7-2, 3-2)

There's no shame going into Athens and losing to the back-to-back national champions when you keep the Bulldogs on their toes throughout the day. That's exactly what Missouri did. Quarterback Brady Cook passed for 212 yards but his two interceptions cost the Tigers a chance to pull off the upset and take first place in the SEC East.

6. Tennessee (-) (7-2, 3-2)

The Volunteers hosted a 1-8 UCONN squad and comfortably won 59-3. They'll get back to real competition next week by heading to Missouri.

7. Texas A&M (-) (5-4, 3-3)

The Aggies went to Oxford and gave the Rebels all they could handle but ultimately couldn't get the stop they needed to pull the upset. Jimbo's squad has dropped three of its last four, all to competition higher up in our Power Rankings.

8. Kentucky (↑1) (6-3, 3-3)

A game with the Mississippi State Bulldogs is the perfect remedy to end a three-game losing streak. Big Blue Nation took advantage of the opportunity and won on the road 24-3

9. Florida (↓1) (5-4, 3-3)

The Gators may have let the Georgia Bulldogs beat them twice as the Razorbacks went into the Swamp and got their first conference win. KJ Jefferson tallied 347 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns to send Billy Napier's season spiraling.

10. Auburn (-) (5-4, 2-4)

The Tigers got their second conference win in as many weeks by defeating Vanderbilt on the road. Peyton Thorne had his best passing output of the year with 194 yards and two scores to start to building momentum down the stretch.

11. Mississippi State (-) (4-5, 1-5)

The Bulldogs are a hapless team and played like it at home against Kentucky. With Will Rogers hurt and Mike Wright in his place Mississippi State managed a measly three points.

12. Arkansas (↑1) (3-6, 1-5)

The Razorbacks took advantage of its off week and played inspired for Sam Pittman, beating Florida by three in overtime on the road. Can Arkansas build momentum with the Auburn Tigers on deck?

13. South Carolina (↓1) (3-6, 1-5)

You'll get no credit for a struggle win against Jacksonville State at home, but Shane Beamer will celebrate it anyways. The Gamecocks utilized a 10-0 fourth quarter to seal the deal on the third win of the season.

14. Vanderbilt (-) (2-8, 0-6)

The Commodores just don't have enough talent to be competitive in SEC games and it was no different on Saturday. The Auburn Tigers held Vanderbilt to just 100 yards rushing and 2-14 on third down to keep Clark Lea's squad winless in the league.

Why do Louisianians eat red beans on Monday? New Orleans chef dishes the details

by: Bella Dardano

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — If you grew up in Louisiana, you’ve probably had a bowl, or plate, of red beans and rice at least once in your lifetime, and it’s likely it was made on a Monday.

This classic Louisiana dish combines beans, the trinity (known to many Louisianians as bell pepper, celery and onion) and sausage into a meal that can be left on the stove all day long. All you have to do is add rice to create that homey, nostalgic meal.

In 2022, Governor John Bel Edwards declared Oct. 24 Red Beans and Rice Day. Coincidentally, it was a Monday!

But how did this tradition start? WGNO talked with a local chef to get the scoop, and we’re not talking about rice!

Kent LeVan, a chef instructor at the New Orleans Culinary and Hospitality Institute, says the tradition of red beans in Louisiana stems from the settlement of the Acadians and Haitians in the state.

He said the Haitian revolution sparked the addition of rice, as beans and rice were considered a complete Caribbean meal with protein and starch all in one bowl.

LeVan said the tradition of eating the dish on Mondays started with the need for something that could sit on the burner all day long during laundry day, as people worked throughout the day.

“Something that could just go on the burner throughout the day was a necessity, and this [red beans] fulfilled that,” LeVan said.

He said the addition of ham or pork stemmed from Sunday meals, typically after church, that included a ham or pork.

“Nestling that left over ham hock in with the beans gives it that nice smokey flavor,” LeVan said.

Making red beans at home is simple. According to LeVan, all you need is water, beans, a ham hock, the trinity, the Cajun seasoning of your choice and sausage.

While it may have become a tradition over time, LeVan said soaking your beans overnight isn’t necessary.

When it comes to sausage, LeVan prefers andouille. He also likes to add picked ham into the mix to “add that layer of brightness.”

LeVan said his secret to a good pot of red beans is adding bacon.

“In French its ‘butter makes it better,’ but I say bacon makes it better,” LeVan said.

Before adding his andouille and trinity, LeVan renders bacon in the pot and uses the fat to flavor the beans.

“It never fails,” he said.

An exhibit of original works by Art Deco icon Erté will include almost 170 items as well as other period pieces that characterized the movement of style and design.

"Erté and the Era of Art Deco" will remain open through Jan. 3, 2024.

Often called "the father of Art Deco," Romain de Tirtoff, known as Erté, was the central figure of the art and design evolution that emerged during the 1920s. The look featured stylized forms, geometric patterns, vibrant colors and sleek lines. Its influence flooded the world of art, fashion, architecture, furniture design, serviceware and more.

An onyx and diamond swan bracelet will be part of the 'Erté and the Era of Art Deco' exhibit at M.S. Rau Antiques.

The Rau exhibit includes a large collection of the artist's original gouache paintings, used to create designs for fashion shows, clubs and stage performances.

VIRGIN HOTELS NEW ORLEANS APPOINTS EXECUTIVE CHEF CHRIS BORGES

New Orleans Native to Lead the Culinary Team at Commons Club

NEW ORLEANS, LA (November 2023) – Since opening its doors in August 2021, Virgin Hotels New Orleans has become one of the Crescent City’s top destinations for locals and visitors seeking an array of vibrant culinary and cocktail experiences. Now, with the holiday season looming large on the horizon, the lifestyle hotel brand is pleased to announce the recent appointment of Chris Borges as Executive Chef of Commons Club, the property’s signature dining concept. There, the seasoned chef and Louisiana native will bring to the fore his signature culinary savvy, introducing a menu of seasonally-inspired dishes rich with influences from the West Coast and the Mediterranean, all with a delightful New Orleans touch.

According to hotel General Manager Cody Bertone, “A chef is a mixture of artistry and craft. But you must learn and execute the craft to perfection in order to deliver explosive flavors in every bite you take, and chef Chris does that in the most exquisite way. He combines local flavors with the European finesse. Every dish he makes is a must try. Chef Chris is an artist that I truly respect, and I am excited to taste all the creations he develops for Virgin New Orleans.”

Born and raised in New Orleans, Borges spent his childhood learning about the robust flavors and ingredients found along the Louisiana coast. After receiving a biology degree from Stanford University, he changed things up, studying at San Francisco’s California Culinary Academy; there he knew he wanted to pursue a career as a chef.

Along his culinary journey, Borges has honed his skills at renowned dining destinations including Infusion Bar & Restaurant and Cindy Pawlcyn’s Roti in San Francisco. As Executive Chef of the Bay Area’s premier catering company, Taste Catering, Borges executed and led the culinary vision for several high-profile events including President Barack Obama’s Green Tech Dinner, Christina Aguilera’s wedding, numerous Pixar movie premieres, Academy of Friends Oscar Gala, and much more.

Upon returning to New Orleans in 2017, Borges took over the culinary operations at The Ace Hotel New Orleans and Maison de la Luz, overseeing both properties’ banquet operations, as well as restaurants Josephine Estelle, Seaworthy, The Alto, and Bar Marilou. After a few years, Borges decided to step back from the kitchen and accepted the role of General Manager for JV Foods, where he re-energized his love for sustainable agriculture practices and fostered relationships with local farmers and purveyors.

In 2023, Borges returned to his culinary roots and was handpicked to helm the culinary direction of Virgin Hotels New Orleans. At Commons Club, the talented toque is melding his passion for Mediterranean cuisine with his West Coast technique and the local flavors of New Orleans. He works closely with Louisiana purveyors to ensure the Commons Club menu showcases locally sourced ingredients whenever possible.

According to Borges, “As a chef of a hotel restaurant, my goal is to appeal to both travelers, as well as locals who are looking to try new versions of classic dishes. The New Orleans influences you’ll find on the menu are what I consider a contemporary take on traditional classics. You won’t see jambalaya, seafood gumbo, or etouffee. But you will see my take on dirty rice, pasta and red gravy, gumbo z’herbes, and paneed veal. This is the food I grew up eating at home and it evokes powerful, personal memories for me. I hope that experience and a sense of nostalgia is felt in every dish.”

Under his tutelage, diners at Commons Club can enjoy sublime yet soulful dishes including Duck Confit Hash with celery root, mushroom ragu, farm egg, and salsa verde; BBQ Shrimp with brown butter, fermented garlic, espelette, lemon, and bottarga breadcrumbs; Paneed Veal with roasted broccoli, parsley, capers, white anchovy and grana; Iberico Pork Flank with Louisiana crab dirty rice, chard, sherry jus, and salsa verde; and Stuffed Squash with sunflower tahini, baby carrots, hearts of palm, quinoa, kale and brassica, to name a few. In his new role, Borges is also responsible for overseeing culinary operations at rooftop hotspot, The Pool Club, as well as hotel events and in-room dining.

Common’s Club is located on the ground floor of Virgin Hotel New Orleans at 550 Baronne Street

Who succeeded Richard Nixon as President after his resignation?

Did You Know? Richard M. Nixon was the only U.S. President to resign from office. Before his tumultuous departure in 1974 amidst the Watergate scandal, Nixon had an extensive political career, serving as Vice President under Dwight D. Eisenhower from 1953 to 1961.

Interestingly, he also achieved significant foreign policy successes, such as initiating détente and the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with the Soviet Union, and notably opened diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China with his historic 1972 visit.

Despite his controversial end, Nixon’s legacy includes the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency and the end of the Vietnam War, illustrating a complex mix of both achievement and adversity.

His life post-presidency was dedicated to rehabilitating his public image, becoming an elder statesman who advised subsequent presidents, a journey from political height to fall and a gradual, if partial, redemption.

What does "nadir" mean?

The lowest point

nadir Pronunciation: /ˈneɪdɪər/

Definition: the lowest point; the point of greatest adversity or despair

Origin: from Arabic "nadir" meaning "opposite" or "contrary"

Example: After losing her job and her home, she felt like her life had reached its nadir.

"The lowest point" is a metaphorical expression used to describe a situation or time of extreme difficulty or despair. When someone or something reaches the nadir, it signifies the absolute bottom, the point of greatest adversity. This term is often used to denote a deep emotional or physical low, such as hitting rock bottom in one's personal life or experiencing the darkest moments of a historical event. The nadir represents a moment of deep crisis, but it can also serve as a turning point where one can begin to rise or rebuild.

NATIONAL NACHOS DAY

On November 6th, National Nachos Day recognizes the snack favored at sporting events across the country. In their purest form, nachos are tortilla chips covered in nacho cheese, queso or other melted cheese and served with salsa.

Where Nachos Began

First created sometime around 1943, the popular and loved nachos are of Mexican origin.

History tells us that Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya created the original nachos in 1943. According to his son, Nacho was the maître d' at the El Moderno Restaurant in Piedras Negras. One evening after the kitchen staff had left, a group of U.S. Army wives stationed at Fort Duncan in Eagle Pass came into the restaurant. After a long day of shopping, they were hungry and asked for a snack.

Anaya prepared some tostadas cut into triangles. After topping them with shredded cheese and sliced jalapenos, he heated the dish in the oven. They were such a hit with the Army wives that they named the snack "Nacho's Special" before he could make another batch.

Word of the new creation quickly traveled. People from all over tried them, loved them, and over time, the name changed. Eventually, Nacho’s special became special nachos.

The original recipe is printed in the 1954 St. Anne’s Cookbook.

The popularity of the new dish spread swiftly throughout Texas and the Southwest. And since then, it has gained millions of fans across America.

Nachos Today

We love nachos so much, we top them with all sorts of things. Sometimes we even go overboard. We call nachos with an abundance of toppings loaded nachos, super nachos, or nachos supreme. Serve them as a snack, an appetizer, or even prepared with extra ingredients as a full meal.

Since the time of the original nachos, the toppings have expanded. Today we add beef, chicken, and seafood along with a variety of seasonings. This snack even satisfies the pickiest eater. Whether you're a vegan, full-on carnivore or somewhere between, there's a nachos recipe for you.

When is National Tortilla Chip Day?

In restaurants across the country, nachos find their way onto the menus of other cuisines, too. Some restaurants substitute the chip with a potato base. Another option is to replace the toppings with ingredients from the culture. For example, to make Italian nachos top the chips with mozzarella cheese and Alfredo sauce. Asian nachos may include wasabi or curry. Each version of nachos brings its own unique flavor to the table.

And there you have it! Ten words that may sound dirty but are completely innocent. It just goes to show how our minds can sometimes play tricks on us. So, the next time you encounter a word that gives you a momentary pause, take a step back and see if there's a more innocent interpretation. After all, laughter is the best remedy for any potentially embarrassing situation.

1900: Fisk Free & Public Library

In 1843, the first library in the city of New Orleans was located on the corner of Customhouse (Iberville) Street and Bourbon Street, courtesy of a bequest from Abijah Fisk which required that the property be used “for the keeping of a library for the use and benefit of citizens.” With a couple of interim locations in 1854 and 1881, the Fisk Free & Public Library was destined to be relocated once again in 1895. Tulane University requested that the library be moved to their new Uptown campus on St. Charles Avenue, but Mayor John Fitzpatrick requested that the Fisk Library and the City Library be consolidated in St. Patrick’s Hall on Lafayette Street.

The new consolidated library formally opened its doors with 35,000 volumes. The images show the ornate interior of the library. The library would continue to grow and before long a bequest in 1898 of $50,000 from Simon Hernsheim provided the opportunity for a new, larger facility. In 1902 the city combined the Hernsheim bequest with a $150,000 grant from Andrew Carnegie to construct a new library building on St. Charles Avenue at Lee Circle.

L'Hoste Citrus

In 1981, Lester and Linda L’Hoste began their journey into the world of citrus farming. They have been certified organic since 1996, and their produce is sold affordably at conventional prices. Their mission is to grow the best products for their customers, and they would like to extend a warm thanks to everyone who has supported their farm and family over the years. After damage from Hurricane Ida, the L’Hoste’s son wanted to join in the family business as well. This allowed them to expand their offerings this season beyond satsumas, grapefruits, and Meyer lemons to include heirloom pumpkin, squash, peppers, tomatoes, cantaloupe, and canary melon, “the sweetest melon you’ll ever taste,” according to Lester. Look for winter veggies like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and kale as the seasons change. Find L’Hoste Citrus at Tuesday and Thursday markets.

City of New Orleans to Host Infrastructure Industry Day and Job Fair on Tuesday, Nov. 7

NEW ORLEANS — The City of New Orleans today announced that Mayor LaToya Cantrell and Deputy Chief Administrative Officer for Infrastructure Joseph Threat will host an Infrastructure Industry Day and City Job Fair at the New Orleans Ernest M. Morial Convention Center on Tuesday, Nov. 7, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. This dual event aims to both allow networking with small and large businesses about upcoming infrastructure opportunities, challenges and best practices, as well as bring in talented individuals interested in contributing their skills and expertise to the City’s workforce.

“As we continue to collectively navigate global inflation, supply chain delays and other lasting consequences of the pandemic, the City has remained steadfast in our efforts to deliver results for our people through the hard work of our over 4,000 City employees," said Mayor LaToya Cantrell. "With our efforts to not only continue improving our aging infrastructure citywide but also expanding and diversifying our economy, it is important that we also set our people up for success by exposing them to several high-demand opportunities right here in the city to ensure they can support themselves and their families for generations to come. This industry day and job fair presents several opportunities both for individuals seeking better employment and for businesses looking to work with the City to bring about more meaningful progress.”

The Cantrell Administration started this initiative in 2021 to showcase opportunities for jobs within City government, facilitate meaningful connections between job seekers and our valued teams and attract talented individuals who align with our mission, values and goals. Continuing to build upon our dedicated workforce of public servants will further contribute to the city’s growth and success.

"These Infrastructure Industry Days offer great resources and opportunities for the contracting community, and we are thankful for the broad participation of local businesses,” said Threat. "The unprecedented amount of infrastructure improvements being done throughout the city, utilizing federal, state and local funds, is exciting, and it is providing economic opportunity to our local businesses. In addition to facilitating these important industry connections, we are also hosting a City Job Fair for our people to get connected to stable employment to help us continue to do the work."

The following City departments and agencies will be onsite participating in the job fair:

Civil Service Commission
Bureau of Purchasing (Procurement Office)
Department of Safety and Permits
Office of Workforce Development
Department of Property Management
Department of Parks and Parkways
Department of Public Works
Office of Homeless Services and Strategy
Orleans Parish Communication District
New Orleans Police Department
New Orleans Emergency Medical Services
New Orleans Fire Department
Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans

A full list of departments hiring and available positions can be found on the City’s website.

There will also be a General Session with Contracting Opportunities for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Businesses from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. in Rooms 283 – 285. Following that, there will be a Prime Contractor/DBE Networking Session from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. in Rooms 286 and 287.

Nov 2023

Commencing November 1st and available every Wednesday in November, Parkway will proudly serve its renowned Thanksgiving Poor Boy, brimming with roasted turkey, stuffing, gravy, and cranberry sauce as part of the annual #IDidItForTheTurkey fundraiser.

For loyal local enthusiasts who wish to support this cause, a $100 ticket is your pass to skip the line between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. The "Skip the Line" ticket not only allows you to indulge in the Thanksgiving Poor Boy, but also includes a Commemorative Tee Shirt, Sweet Potato Fries, Fresh-Made Lemonade crafted by the talented Joshua Bertuglia, an ACF Junior Board Member, and a specially made Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream Sandwich by New Orleans Ice Cream to round off your holiday feast. Patrons are encouraged to snap selfies while savoring their feast and use the hashtag #IDidItForTheTurkey for a chance to be featured on Parkway’s social media pages.

Tickets can be purchased conveniently at AlCopelandFoundation.org or in person every Wednesday at Parkway Bakery & Tavern, where the Al Copeland Foundation tent is set up. In the spirit of giving, a portion of the sales from buying the Thanksgiving Poor Boy without skipping the line also goes to the Al Copeland Foundation, ensuring that every patron can contribute to this essential cause.

Since 2008, the Al Copeland Foundation (ACF) has rallied support for a remarkable cause, raising over $2.3 million with one unwavering mission to save lives and end cancer with innovative cancer treatments. In under a decade, the foundation along with LSU Health andScience Center (LSUHSC) accomplished its main purpose which was to find a cure for the cancer that took Al Copeland Sr.’s life. More recently, ACF and LSUHSC received national recognition for its virtual clinical trial access program which provides accessibility through telehealth medicine. ACF continues to support providing access, awareness, and education to the latest cancer treatments for all age groups.

We're happy to bring a piece of the past back to WYES starting this weekend. GREAT CHEFS OF NEW ORLEANS, the vintage TV series that began WYES’ legacy of award-winning nationally broadcast cooking shows, returns to the station – 40 years after its debut. Tune in Saturdays at 1pm. The original 26 episodes of GREAT CHEFS OF NEW ORLEANS will air on WYES, followed by other episodes of the multi-part series every Saturday.

Thanks to executive producer John Shoup for sharing the series (produced and directed by the late John Beyer) with us. It begins Saturday in the kitchen of the legendary Chef Warren Leruth, and you'll see many other local icons below in the weeks to come. For all the episodes, the distinctive voices of Mary Lou Conroy and Andres Calandria narrate, with original music from the Charlie Byrd Trio, the Dukes of Dixieland and Banu Gibson.

The 26-part cooking series, produced by WYES-TV in New Orleans, was shot on location at Dooky Chase’s Restaurant with dishes prepared by younger generations of the Chase family who have led the restaurant since Leah’s death in 2019.

Viewers will meet Leah’s grandson, Edgar “Dook” Chase IV, who now oversees the restaurant’s kitchen; her niece Cleo Robinson, who joined Leah in the kitchen in 1980; and the restaurant’s newest chef, Leah’s great-granddaughter Zoe Chase. Paired with some of the menus are specialty cocktails crafted by Leah’s granddaughter Eve Marie Haydel, the restaurant’s beverage manager who has updated drink recipes from the restaurant’s earlier days. Granddaughter Chase Kamata narrates. Each 30-minute episode explores a new take on Creole classics and a different chapter of the restaurant’s history.

See it every Saturday at 10am and on Sundays at 11:30am. Watch on WYES-TV and stream on wyes.org/live and on the WYES and PBS Apps. Out of WYES’ viewing area?

Final Four Rematch: LSU WBB To Face Virginia Tech in SEC/ACC Challenge

Story by Zack Nagy

LSU will host Virginia Tech in a Final Four rematch on November 30 at 8 p.m. CT as a part of the ACC/SEC Challenge.

The Tigers and Hokies met last season in the Final Four as LSU came from behind in the fourth quarter to clinch a spot in the national championship game. The Tigers trailed by nine to start the fourth quarter but outscored the Hokies by 16 in the final quarter to claim LSU’s first national championship game berth. LSU defeated Iowa two days later for the national championship.

LSU will enter the season with multiple players returning from the program’s first ever national championship team along with a talented list of newcomers that include the nation’s No. 1 rated recruiting class and the top two players from this year’s transfer portal.
