So. I was walking down a street in the Big Easy and and I saw this guy wearing cook’s clothes sitting on a box of bottled water talking on his cell phone. I make few snaps and He asked what was doing so I told him. He asked me to wait a minute. He went inside and came out wearing his chef’s hat. Toque, a chef’s hat they tell me. First, he started posing for me using his hands to make funny gestures. I told him to be himself. This is him being himself. Typical. New Orleans. Happy. A lot of thinsg have made me smile in this city — especially its recovery.
