The Man Who Ate New Orleans



A friend of mine, Michael Dunaway from Paste Magazine, told me about a film that he's directing. What he shared with me was very interesting and I thought you might like it as well.

The film is about a New Jersey pastor who moved his family to New Orleans AFTER Katrina to help rebuild, fell in love with the culture, and decided to become the first person in history to eat at all 603 restaurants in the city. But on a deeper level? It’s about the two most beautiful aspects of New Orleans — celebration and community — and how they play out through the city’s music, food, and rebuilding.

The film’s proceeds will go to the New Orleans Rebuilding Fund of Redeemer Presbyterian Church and to one additional charity each from the music, food, and rebuilding areas.
