From Tabby's Blues Box to O Brother: Chris Thomas King Wants Louisiana Credited as the Birthplace of the Blues

Ask Chris Thomas King where the blues was born, and you'll get a firm answer: Louisiana, not the Mississippi Delta. That argument is the heart of the Blues Origin Institute, a Louisiana nonprofit King founded in March 2023. Its stated mission is to preserve the authentic history of the blues through research, education and performance, and to win recognition for Louisiana as the place where the music took shape in the 1890s.

This Louisiana Scratch Kitchen Turns 10 With Fried Green Tomatoes And Creole Classics

A restaurant named after a little girl now serves hackleback caviar at Friday lunch. It’s an unexpected pairing, and a good clue that this kitchen takes fun seriously. The owners met while working at Commander’s Palace in New Orleans. Later, they moved to her hometown and built a scratch kitchen of their own. They named it after their daughter, which gives the whole story a personal touch.

A Delightful New Coffee Shop Near the Amite River

Denizens in my (A&E Editor Jacqueline DeRobertis-Braun’s) neck of the woods—the very edge of East Baton Rouge Parish pushing right up against the Amite River—have long bemoaned the lack of a cozy independent coffee shop nearby to satisfy our caffeine cravings. Enter Café Verdino, a very green, very vibe-y coffee shop nestled in a shopping center along Jones Creek Road that opened its doors this summer. The aesthetics are mid-century modern meets the Mediterranean, populated with sensible (green) cushioned chairs and citrus-forward artwork and decor; outside there are umbrellas and tables for guests to enjoy as the weather cools. I had the pleasure of visiting the café for my first official excursion postpartum (sans my third baby), during which I enjoyed a perfectly foamed cappuccino and noshed on a feta veggie tartine (fresh, bright, and gorgeously plated). It was so good that I brought my two-year-old the next week on a mother-daughter date for a generously sized chocolate muffin (hers) and a delightfully spiced Autumn Breeze (mine, Café Verdino's take on a brown sugar shaken espresso topped with chai cold foam). Perfectly timed for the season of hot beverages, the antidote to bland commercial coffee shops is here. cafeverdino.com.

Brie flambée, breakfast plate and more of the best things we ate in Baton Rouge and Acadiana

After my son’s football game, I told him I would treat him to a restaurant meal. He is quite a foodie. We chose Pizza Byronz and ate European-style — after 8 p.m. and outside in the courtyard. I ordered the brie flambée, a French thin flatbread with a crispy crust with brie, fig sauce, onion and mozzarella. I added bacon for a little more salt and crunch.
