Orangette's Asparagus - Feast Your Eyes

orangette
It's Monday morning, and we're right there with you. While propping your eyes open waiting for the coffee to kick in, do sneak a look at Orangette. It's the literary equivalent of falling asleep curled around a novel or sipping hot milk to stave off insomnia. Strangely comforting and nostalgia-inducing at once, it leaves one poised between appetites, unsure whether to roast a rack of lamb for dinner or ride a two-seater bicycle through the French Quarter taking snapshots while drinking gin lemonade.

That's how disorienting Orangette's (aka Molly Wizenberg) prose is. If you find her beautiful polaroids, winding tales and dreamy recipes (like this adapted dish of asparagus with pecorino and pooled walnut crema) insufficient, you might pop out and buy her new book. Now back to work.

Starbucks in the French Quarter?

As you may or may not know, many of my favorite foods come from the Southern States, so I'm sure it comes as no surprise that I've been eagerly following the postings at our sister site Blogging New Orleans lately due to their coverage of the food at Jazz Fest. While at their site this morning, I came across this post by Jennifer Jordan about Starbucks trying to set up shop in a vacant storefront in Jackson Square. Though she loves Starbucks, Jennifer is irate that they would attempt to build there. As she puts it, it would be like replacing her beloved Camellia Grill with a Denny's.

What do you think? Is there a place for Starbucks there, or should they just completely stay out of the French Quarter?
