Resilience

We cross Bourbon Street to the beat. Jazz filters out of various establishments down the lane and around the corners.

Colorful lights and tunes draw us into the restaurant. Our party of six is ushered up narrow wooden steps to one of several dining rooms on the second floor.

Derrick the waiter greets us. And proceeds to describe the night’s special offerings in smooth, rapid New Orleans speech. We catch some of what he says, guessing at the rest. And look at the extensive menu of  Cajun and Creole dishes.  

After unhurried perusal, we order.
