    Jean Galatoire, the founder of the French restaurant is also one of the ancestor of the French-creole food. The restaurant was run by his descendants until the fourth-generation. Amazing to see that this restaurant is still alive 115 years later and has been preserved, that’s legacy and heritage to the local culture.

    • @gokellurseff8435
      @gokellurseff8435 3 года назад +36

      Just because someone is French and lives in Louisiana does not make them Louisiana Creole. 😐😐😐
      The Louisiana Creoles are decendants of the first colonial inhabitants. Galatoire was a Frenchman who didn't show up in Louisiana until 1896. The dishes in the restaurant existed in Louisiana Creole and Cajun cultures way before Galatoire commercialized them.

But with that aside, Galatoire’s is one of those old line restaurants that serve New Orleans creole cuisine as the first Galatoire’s in New Orleans were no doubt “foreign French” as post-statehood French immigrants were known as in 1800’s Louisiana, the family itself had been absorbed by Louisiana creole culture. Many times, those “foreign French” would even marry into established French and Spanish creole families, even into German creole or Acadian creole families (known today as cajuns). Regardless, Galatoire’s is a New Orleans creole restaurant since it’s food is New Orleans creole cuisine.

    being a chef not only requires passion... but persistence and consistency.... kind of like an iconic rock band. they gotta have the willingness to do the same thing, day in and day out, over and over again for years. yeah, they're allowed to change their menu... but just like the rolling stones... they gotta keep playing the hits.... can't skip a few nights and not play "satisfaction."
    that's really where a lot of really great chefs fall... it just becomes something of a chore. the passion just leaves... so I gotta hand it to this man to be like, "nope!!! not only are we going to play the hits, but we're going to reinvent a way to play them, and make them sound BETTER!!!"

    I love watching these types of videos that focus on the production in the kitchen. Having worked in a kitchen myself, I recognize the grind that all the line cooks go through on a nightly basis. It's a shame that so much of the tip money spent by patrons goes solely to the server when 90% of the experience is provided by the cooks.

    Really enjoyed this one. A very passionate hard working pro at the helm of a historic and obviously still successful restaurant.
    Seems quite a rare thing for a place to still be open let alone evolving and busier than ever after so very many years trading.

    I remember when chef ran Root and Square Root in NOLA. Much more progressive menus- think scallops smoked in Cohiba cigar boxes, etc (and Square Root was an sixteen seat restaurant that only served chefs tasting menus).
    I though Galatoire's was an odd stop for someone as inventive as he is, but I'll tell you, the improvement in the restaurant's dishes was pretty immediate once he joined. Well done, chef.

    This food looked so delicious. My uncle and aunt were both foodies. I understand now why they spent their lives in New Orleans. On top of that she was a good Cajun girl. One day I hope to sample some food there. This man is full of passion for his food and the restaurant's tradition. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Make it the way it has always been made. Kudos to the chef and each employee.

      Cajuns don’t usually live in New Orleans so was your uncle and aunt French Creoles instead? Or maybe they were not originally from New Orleans? What was the last name?

    My family and grandparents went to the New Orleans World's Fair when I was 15. We stayed at the Monteleone and ate at Galatoies. I had the fish covered with crabmeat au gratin. It was the classiest place I've ever seen eaten , before or since. The waiters don't ever write anything down. They have to be bus boys for 10 years before becoming waiters.
