Authentic, Gourmet Chinese at Dian Xin

December 17, 2019 By Charles Pizzo

People born in China sometimes don’t recognize Chinese food in the USA. They see similarities, but the dish in question does not exist back home. That’s because much of the Chinese food served in this country has been westernized to appeal to American tastes.

Period of Adjustment at Loyola’s Lower Depths Theatre through Dec. 21 Some people like to see things they’re familiar with; they’ll go to New York and get tickets to Phantom of the Opera or Chicago or Wicked.

Giving Back: Celebrating One of US!

December 17, 2019 By Catherine Roland

Some excellent news from my good friend Julie Thompson, Co-Chair of New Orleans’ PFLAG Chapter for many years.
