We’re giving the Scrumptious Chef crew a little bit of a break. After 13 years it is well-earned. We’ll be back with more tales of second lines, po boys and hotplates in no time flat. See y’all then.

Baby Doll Anita Matamoros Oubre
Details are scant but when these gals get together copious amounts of alcohol is consumed and the dance floor is packed with sweat-soaked folks gyrating wildly to old-school New Orleans r&b.
The Baby Dolls tradition is in full flower with multiple troupes scattered all over New Orleans. If you want to educate yourself fully on Baby Doll culture read the works of Kim Vaz-Deville, a local scholar who has established herself as an authority on the tradition.
