Do you remember that Disney Christmas Carol with Mickey Mouse? It will ALWAYS be right there in my memory. Ok, from that movie, now comb through and remember the Ghost of Christmas Present. The big, dopey giant eating turkey legs and drinking out of goblets? Yes. HIM.

That is where my mind goes when I think of the traditional Reveillon feasts here in New Orleans. What is a Reveillon feast, you may ask? "A Réveillon dinner is a traditional, lavish French Creole holiday feast in New Orleans, named from the French word for "awakening," originally eaten late after midnight mass on Christmas Eve but now offered throughout December in many restaurants as multi-course, prix-fixe menus featuring rich dishes like gumbo, turtle soup, seafood, roasted meats, and decadent desserts. It's a festive culinary event showcasing Creole culture, with menus evolving from traditional breakfasts to elaborate dinners with modern twists. " -the google.

This whole, ornate concept blows my mind. It feels like you have stepped into a Downton Abbey picture. Now, that is depending on where you chose to celebrate this decadent occasion. And for the past 5 years, we have welcomed chefs from all around New Orleans tell their stories of Reveillon and what it means to them.

This yearrrrrr I am over the moon! We are welcoming back my buddy, veteran and super chef, Eric Cook! Chef Cook is the restauranteur behind the beloved Saint John and Gris-Gris restaurants. Listen to how Chef Cook is able to articulate his love language about New Orleans, their own direction and his committed dedication to this jewel of a city. His passion burns hotter than a black iron skillet. Hear how he selects his menu and how he wants both restaurants to bring out different tastes of our great city.

To make this interview even more fun, it was recorded DURING Scott's time on Dancing with the Stars! Wow, what a whirlwind. ANNND to make it even more special, they are expecting their first baby. Oh my lanta. All the feels. It makes me think back 10 years ago when we first brought our little nugget home. In fact, yesterday- December 4 made 10 years. And man, they go by fast.

While ALL of that was going on they released their second children's book! Fa La La La Family is the most adorable book that brings representation to Christmastime. This gorgeous picture book is sure to inspire anyone out there- kid or the raisins!!!! (Me. I am the raisin.)
