  • 'Til Naught but Ash Is Left to See': Statewide Smoking Bans, Ballot
    ‘TIL NAUGHT BUT ASH IS LEFT TO SEE’: STATEWIDE SMOKING BANS, BALLOT INITIATIVES, AND THE PUBLIC SPHERE Patrick S. Kabat* Abstract: This Article examines the recent surge in statewide smoking bans. Nearly all states have some form of statewide ETS legislation, and the last five years have seen a revolution in the legal landscape, reversing the default rule on smoking in public from permissive to prohibitive of smoking. After establishing an analytical framework within which statewide ETS legislation coheres, and a typology of statewide smoking bans, this Article examines a disturbing trend in statewide ETS legislation: the increasing use of statewide ballot initiatives. After examining the shortcomings of direct legislation in the context of ETS legislation, this Article proposes a balancing test for remedial use by legislators, and demonstrates its application to an exemption area on which states divide: the tobacco lounge. *B.A., History, Colgate University.

    FULL TRANSCRIPT: SUBJECT: Bobby Oakes, bartender @ Arnaud Restaurant’s French 75 Bar 813 Rue Bienville New Orleans, LA 70112 DATE: March 31, 2005 @ 8:45 p.m. LOCATION: Rue de la Course coffeehouse on Magazine St. INTERVIEWER: Amy Evans LENGTH: Approx. 55 minutes NOTE: Various sounds occur throughout this interview. Rather than mention them individually and interrupt the flow of the conversation, they are noted here: the coffeehouse is crowded, so many voices can be heard in conversation; classical music plays in the background continuously; various mechanical sounds are heard occasionally as employees make coffee drinks. When the occurring sounds are an obvious interruption to the interview, they are noted in the transcript. * * * Amy Evans: It’s Thursday, March thirty-first, two thousand and five. This is Amy Evans for the Southern Foodways Alliance, and I’m in New Orleans, Louisiana, on Magazine Street at Rue de la Course coffeehouse with Bobby Oakes from Arnaud’s Restaurant. And it’s about a quarter to nine o’clock [at night]. And, um, Booby, would you mind introducing yourself to the recorder here and also stating your birthdate, please. Bobby Oakes: Okay. My name is Bobby Oakes, obviously. Um, my birthday is June 28, 1960. Um, and like, uh, like Amy said, I’ve been a bartender at Arnaud’s for a little over nine years. AE: All right, well how’d you get started in the bartending business in the first place? BO: Um— AE: Let’s start there. BO: My—my wife made me do it. AE: [Laughs] BO: I had decided [loud banging noise in background], um, I was in my thirties and decided I wanted to go back to school [banging noise again] and finish—um, talked to some friends about it, and one of them suggested—because what I wanted to do, ultimately, required a competitive entrance to a program.

  • Where the Locals Go
    Where The Locals Go Stone Pigman's Top New Orleans Picks Where The Locals Go 1 The lawyers of Stone Pigman Walther Wittmann L.L.C. welcome you to the great city of New Orleans. Known around the world for its food, nightlife, architecture and history, it can be difficult for visitors to decide where to go and what to do. This guide provides recommendations from seasoned locals who know the ins-and-outs of the finest things the city has to offer. "Antoine’s Restaurant is the quintessential classic New Orleans restaurant. The oldest continuously operated family owned restaurant in the country. From the potatoes soufflé to the Baked Alaska with café Diablo for dessert, you are assured a memorable meal." (713 St. Louis Street, New Orleans, LA 70130 (504) 581-4422) Carmelite Bertaut "My favorite 100+ year old, traditional French Creole New Orleans restaurant is Arnaud’s. It's a jacket required restaurant, but has a causal room called the Jazz Bistro, which has the same menu, is right on Bourbon Street, and has a jazz trio playing in the corner of the room." (813 Bienville Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70112 (504) 523-5433) Scott Whittaker "The food at Atchafalaya is delicious and the brunch is my favorite in the city. The true standout of the brunch is their build-your-own bloody mary bar. It has everything you could want, but you must try the bacon." (901 Louisiana Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70115 (504) 891-9626) Maurine Wall "Chef John Besh’s restaurant August never fails to deliver a memorable fine dining experience.
