On The Line in New Orleans is a fantastic blog, written by New York food writer Betsy Andrews. She's what you'd call an embedded journalist...she volunteers as a line cook in New Orleans restaurants in order to cover the story of the rebuilding of that industry.
She chats with the Brennan matriarchs. She listens to Dickie Brennan's ideas about a FEMA village for hospitality workers. She dices avocado and debones salmon in Bayona's kitchen. She helps salvage Cuvee's wine collection, with bleach water and Dawn liquid.
It's a fascinating blend of behind-the-scenes foodie tales and post-Katrina survivor stories.
