Camellia Grill

Fellow blogger Robert D. Peyton over on Appetites writes about a visit to the Camelia Grill. It's still closed, but he posted an amazing picture of the door covered with post-it notes. Presumably from folks who miss the Grill and are waiting for it to re-open. He also mentions Poppy Z. Brite's new series of fictional books based on the New Orleans resturant secene, Liquor and Soul Kitchen. Have been hearing many good things about these. I'm even told I'll recognize some of the char-actors. Will have to give these a look. Wishing all the New Orleaneanians, esepcially those literary and culinary artists the best these days. May all your future hurricanes come in a free souvineer glass.
