Segregation was so great the first time around

When will they publish where White New Orleans Eats??

I read Gambit religiously. Over the past six months they may have had one or two white owned restaurants spotlighted in the weekly magazine.

Can we all do this without repercussions? Or will some (one) group be disallowed...

Lot of great black owned restaurants in Nola.

I am in Nola everyday without issue.

I agree. I eat at way more minority owned restaurants than white owned. Doesn't change the fact that this is blatant racism.

Eh, minority restaurants go hand in hand with 'poor' restaurants. Takenit however you want, what it is. Besides a couple wealthy minority owners there are plenty of middle to lower owners.

Restaurant who can't buy press and can't afford a social media director to bring in patrons.

Not saying that being white owned is some advantage, but don't look at this as 'don't eat white' because I have never heard it presented that way.

To give you an idea, I have a half-assed instagram account for food in NOLA, 1/4 assed would be more accurate. Middle-class to poor owners are the ones who tag me the most and try to get reposts. Small business works their arse off in these sutuations.

I've been to Alon's bywater house. He ain't struggling. The ratio is heavily skewed one way for whatever reason.

All that said, dont get caught up in the 'black' and instead look at the restaurants. High road and all that shite.

Why would you do that to yourself? Is NPR preset on all of your listening devices too? The only thing the Gambit is good for are the sudoku and crossword puzzles and sopping up crawfish juice. Clancy bears a great deal of responsibility for the condition the city is in with his endorsements of the shittiest of candidates. He’s the poster child of white guilt.

I agree with all that you typed about Clancy. He’s scum.
I do grab a copy or Gambit every week though. Mostly to see current event promotions and the restaurant and bar stories, but I do like to read and laugh at their editorials and sad political crap.
