Look out! A Brand New Segment that I am thrilled to launch is coming in hot!
NolaPapa Eats is a local, culinary segment sponsored in part by Rouses Markets.
It’s simple. I track down the chefs and restauranteurs that personally inspire me.
If they inspire me, I bet they will inspire you too!
This week we welcome chef, restauranteur, and author, Jarred Zeringue from Wayne Jacob’s Smoke House in LaPlace, Louisiana.
-Courtesy of Southern & Smoked
“In South Louisiana, food is more than just sustenance. It is a way to bring friends and family together and it connects us to our history and our culture.”

Then I welcome a cookie creator that takes this art to the NEXT LEVEL
YALL! With 3 kids, Papa knows party cookies when I see them. When I saw his work I had talk to him!
Meet Alex AKA “Plenty of Smiles”! A drag queen that can create the prettiest cookie you’ve ever seen! So- he created his own cookie deco class with wine and laughs!
BRILLIANT. Think Painting with a Twist but with a drag queen except with COOKIES!

Yall got to listen! ANNNND I found out AN AWESOME DETAIL About him I had no idea!

We couldn’t do any of this without the pockets from our family of generous sponsors!
Thank you SO MUCH!

I cannot imagine the amount of courage it took for NFL’s Ryan O’Callaghan to muster all his strength and begin to live his own authentic truth. He came out in 2017 after he retired from the sport.
Ryan sat down with me and opened up about it all! From the beginnings all the way to now.
He is a true trailblazer and… teddy bear. Don’t tell him I told you.

Afterwards. I got to sit down with my sweet and gifted friend, Misti Gaither, a talk show host, and paranormal investor from New Orleans!
We get to talk about old times, relive it a little and she talks to me about what it is like living in New Orleans with such a gift and she is learning to use it more!
Halloween is coming in hot. And you can sense it here!
