    Tip of the Tongue Episode 313: The Planning of Food and Drink at the Warbler Hotel

    We speak with Joe Mann of Verdad Real Estate and Neal Bodenheimer of CureCo about their new project, The Warbler Hotel in New Orleans on legendary St. Charles Avenue. We discuss the issues of building a hotel from the ground up in an historic neighborhood, the issues of integrating food and beverage into the hotel with the right feel for guests and for city residents to make the place lively and inviting for everyone Rendering above of The Warbler Hotel’s rooftop pool Additional renderings can be found here Renderings provided courtesy of EskewDumezRipple The food is being developed in conjunction with Chicago’s Andrew Zimmerman of Sepia, a Michelin starred restaurant. The feel of the hotel is a nod to the Jazz Age and promises to have an Art Deco vibe. And CureCo is contributing its beverage luster as a James Beard Foundation Award winning developer of Cure. All of this talent will coalesce in the martini bar and restaurant, Mildred’s. Listen. It’s on Tip of the Tongue. Get full access to Tip of the Tongue at tipofthetongue.substack.com/subscribe

    Tip of the Tongue Episode 312: A Taste of Madagascar

    Madagascar is an island that fascinates the imagination. There is the animated movie, Madagascar, which amuses and takes advantage of the mystery of the place. But in real life Madagascar is full of culinary riches which seem independent of the society’s culture. But the soil and climate support vanilla, chocolate, caviar, honey, and other specialty foods. Emmanuel Laroche became interested in Madagascar and its culinary treasures, exploring the culture with curiosity and deep respect for the people nurturing those treasures. His book. A Taste of Madagascar, reveals secrets of the food, problems of the island, and the stories of the people. Laroche has exhibited his curiosity before. His first book, Conversations Behind The Kitchen Door: 50 American Chefs Chart Today's Food Culture, explores chefs and their stories. His own podcast, “flavors unknown”, explores cooks, chefs, and mixologists, has been on the air since 2018. And for an everyday job he is Vice-president of Marketing at Symrise North America. Listen to the podcast from 2022 with Emmanuel about his first book. Get full access to Tip of the Tongue at tipofthetongue.substack.com/subscribe
