reminding me of being back in new orleans when you mention brennans and commanders palace.
i didn't want to term new southern cuisine as fusion cooking, for fear of confusing it with some of the other fusion cooking (like east/west cooking). but, is it truly fusion cooking? i guess i always thought of it as mixing two separate and distinct styles... whereas this is more the blending of eras... perhaps it's a case of tom-ay-to, tom-ah-to.
in any event, southern cooking is wonderful, and new southern cuisine has is pretty good too!
