The very BEST King Cake?

Which bakery makes the very best King Cake?
To be honest, I use to love McKenzie's very plain, almost dry, coffeecake-style King Cake. Some of the newer ones are wretchedly excessive with cream cheese and frosting piled on top of fillings.
I suppose this is all a matter of taste...
I need BAKERY cakes, not restaurants. It would be great if the bakery would ship, but I can pick it up. Don't need one of those Mardi Gras "packages" where they throw in beads, doubloons, coffee and other stuff. I need just the cake.
NOLA and North Shore, East to Waveland.
re: SumoSizeMe
I second Randazzo's Good Childrens'. AWESOME king-cake.
re: hungry penguin
The owners reopenned in Covington as Nonna Randazzo's. They have the best anywhere. http://www.nonnaskingcakes.com/
You can order on-line and they deliver. They lost their home during Katrina and relocated to the northshore. The bakery in now located on Hwy 190 in Covington.
re: SumoSizeMe
I scream Randazzos. They are consistent and taste wonderful. I shipped them to friends post Katrina to show we were coming back.
And my kids love Randazzos.
Gone, McKenzies. The imitation Randzaos cake was very good.
re: Mandeville refugee
The best King Cake is a homemade one.
Here is a link to several recipes.
re: SumoSizeMe
Nona finally reopened in chalmette on Paris Rd.
My favorite king cake doesn't come from New Orleans. Ambrosia Bakery in Baton Rouge makes a deliciously decadent ZULU King Cake - Dark chocolate icing, coconut & cream cheese filling. The best I've had. Rich, but not a sugary sweet as the ones with multicolored icing. mmmmm.... I think I'll pick one up this week! I'm fairly certain they ship these.
re: LBHamp
Amen- Ambrosia even makes my 'Yat Mom happy.
My parents send me a Cake from Haydel's every year. They do come with all the parade stuff (cups, beads etc.) But they are very good and except for the one year the post man delivered it on it's side making everything smush together they have always arrived fresh and very nice.
The cafe I worked for in the city ordered all theirs from McKenzies; Haydels is noticeable denser and has more filling. If you order the cheese or the plain they are not as stuffed as the fruit ones.
I like the king cakes from Maurice's French Pastries. Jean-Luc makes a lot of different varieties like so many places, so I usually stick to the plain. They ship, and I've used them to ship cakes to friends around the country. They recently moved their location out of Fat City to Napoleon and Transcontinental.
The best King Cake is at Randazzo's in Metairie near Lakeside Shopping Center. They are opened only Christmas through Mardi Gras. Another good choice is Antoine's who sice Katrina have moved to the West Bank. If you want a true French King Cake Galette de Rois-Le Boulangerie Bakery on Magazine is the ticket.
re: charve1
If Krummel's is the one I think it is, it's got a great King Cake. Small strip mall? For a long time the only sign they had only said "Bakery"? We had no idea what the name was but kept going back because they had everything from good multi-grain loaves to pastries and pies. Then the terrific, simple King Cakes showed up along with some more elaborate versions.
I really prefer the plainer ones, without all the cream cheese and glop. That cream cheese stuff is a pretty recent innovation - notice I didn't use the word "improvement." But then I still remember when the Baby was china instead of plastic.
re: charve1
I have to agree, Krummels has one of the best king cakes we've ever had. We drive from the New Orleans to the North Shore to get them. Plus if you liked the McKenzies style king cake, they have those also. I heard that for the first several years that they were actually making the McKenzie style for Tastee.
Over here in N.O. we usually go to Haydels
I'm not a fan of filled King Cakes, so we usually get the regular one.....nothing like warm king cake and cold milk for breakfast
I am by no means a connoisseur of king cakes, but got one at the Laurel St. Bakery yesterday and thought it was great. The dough was tougher than I'm used to and not very sweet, it was almost like eating challah with frosting on top.
My vote is for Haydel's. UPS delivered my traditional King Cake yesterday and my husband and I can't stop eating it! Its very moist and the frosting on top is perfect - not too thick, but not too thin either. Luckily its cold here in Chicage because my husband set the box on its side after he took it from our delivery man, but it was perfect after I opened it (the cold did some good for us for once)!
I've ordered from Randazzo's before, and while their King Cake is good, its a little more sloppy and not as moist and tasty as Haydel's.
Haydel's Bakery
4037 Jefferson Highway
New Orleans, LA 70121
(I tried ordering online but it didn't work so I had to call directly)
I've never had a king cake before and would love to surprise my husband with one. I'm leaning towards Haydel's because people from various walks of life have recommended them but I am harder pressed when it comes to flavors. We are not chocolate people. Do most people get the cream cheese filled?
re: Janet from Richmond
Janet, I posted the original question because I wanted to see what was out there. I grew up in NOLA and lived on KC from King's Day to Mardi Gras. I always liked the traditional one and I think Haydel's is probably the closest although a few other places offer that same unfilled, coffee cake-style ring.
Cream cheese did not exist in the South when I was growing up the way it does now - other than Creole Cream Cheese which is altogether different - so the filled cakes and chocolate cakes and all the other elaborate renditions are a development of the past couple of decades. I personally hate them. Too sweet for me and don't mess with my traditions!! To me it's part of the Super-Sizing School of Eating. The Traditional Cake was just fine but others like the new style. Enough that they have become the most common and the traditional is hard to find. To each his own.
Janet, I would go with the traditional, you can't go wrong. I've never tried the filled ones though, only because they sound way too rich and I already know the traditional is great so I didnt want to make a mistake by ordering something else. Also if its being shipped, I would have to think the traditional will hold up better. If you order from Haydel's today you'll have it on Friday! Another cool thing Haydel's does is send a miniature porcelain king cake doll, nice little touch. Their 2007 edition of the dolls is 'Mardi Gras in the Wake of Katrina.' Enjoy!
Hi there MakingSense.
I too am a McKenzie lover!!!! Plain Brioge (sp?) dough with purple, green and gold fine sugar on the top! Now all of these variations just totally go against tradition. Heck, they are simply big filled danishes with Mardi Gras colored sugar on top!
Remember Gambino's and their squarish KC with rock sugar on top? That was yummy too!
Okay here is the deal: You are right about Krummel's - technically it is "Mandeville Bake Shop" (I live here in MVille now) and their cakes are so so - the plain ones.
Tastee Donuts bought the recipe in the last two years or so for the MCKENZIE's cakes!!! I had several and they were great. I haven't had one this year so not sure if they're still doing them.
In Mandeville, we have Rouse's Supermarket and their King Cakes are the closest I've found to MKenz. Remember McKenz cinammon rolls? Rouse has plain cinammon KCs with icing and sugar on the top but the icing is like McKenz cin roll icing. Yummy. They probably do mail order! Get a few and freeze them. I did that every year with McKenz b/c I had moved to Baton Rouge and would come to NOLA and get 4-5 large ones and freeze them.
Good luck!!!!
re: ReneC
ReneC, do the names stella, v.j, rex, beth, connie mean anything to you? If so, I think I know you---very well.
As for King Cakes, in the 'olden days'---when I was young---they were brioche, a cakey bread type thing. none of the children really enjoyed them. not sweet enuf, i guess. also, there was no doll of any kind, only a bean in the cake. If you got the piece of cake with the bean, you were king or queen, and you gave the party the next weekend. that custom continued thru Carnival season---a King Cake Party every weekend.. (it was NEVER called mardi gras until about 1968 when the travel indusry decided to advertise it; ergo, mardi gras. that's when CARNIVAL was lost to city residents because it became a tourist attraction. as a matter of fact, we didn't even call Tuesday "Mardi Gras"---we called it CARNIVAL DAY!!
re: pb1418
And our Mamas told us if we got that damned bean to swallow it! Because we could NOT have that party at our house the next weekend! Of course we didn't swallow it and Mama let us have the party.
The best was to be in two KC party groups so you had a party Friday and Saturday nights for all of Carnival season.
I always loved King Cake! Still do to this day. And I miss McKenzie's How does anyone have a cocktail party without those little pattie shells?
re: pb1418
Of course! How about "Chet"? Beans? and Carnival? Before my time. Thank goodness SOMETHING is before my time!
-- ALSO, Rouse's DOES ship KCs. Their website is Rouses.com and I am eating a piece of their KC as I type this!!! YUMMMMMMMM
re: pb1418
Absolutely, agreed. I plan on making a bunch of my own this year. I grew up eating the McKenzie's plain sugar and brioche King Cakes and occasionally the one laced with cinnamon. I've never been able to stomach the heavy, super sweet ones.
The best King Cake I have ever had comes from the Cajun Pecan House in Cut Off, LA. Down on the bayou! Their cinnamon pecan King Cake is absolutely heavenly. You can seriously gorge yourself on this one and not be able to help it! Shipping charges are outrageous, though. I wanted to have one shipped and the cake was $30 for a large and the shipping was another $20! Seems like someone's skimming off the shipping charge.
re: pinotgirl
Agreed. This King Cake is awesome, but unfortunately I live far away and the shipping charges are brutal. But those king cakes sure are good.....
The very best king I found, even though i havent tried haydel's..YET..., was at Calandro's Supermarket! They have a bananas foster king cake!! omgooodnesss the best moist slice of heaven I have ever had, and they bake them fresh daily!! What it is is banana creme and rum mixed for the filling and then they have a caramel walnut icing on top, it is to die for!!! I almost ate the whole thing, and im a health nut too! ha
Tastee Donuts has been selling McKenzie's king cakes for the last couple of years. They are terrific. They also do McKenzie's buttermilk drops (soooo good!) and their cinnamon rolls too. They are supposed to be adding more McKenzie's products too.
I am proud to say I have the definitive answer on this topic!! At least from 15 people's perspectives : ) Last year my family decided to go on the quest to finally solve the age old question of who has the Best King Cake in the area. My husband loves King Cake and I was pregnant so we were obviously up to sampling many different styles and bakeries. Our journey took us down to Springfield where we heard they had the very best King Cake (our source was incorrect), over to Hammond to the Berry Patch, over to Mandeville Bakery, and then to Nonna Randazzo's Bakery in Covington. The next day we went to the South Shore and got King Cakes from Randazzo's, Maurices, and Haydel's. At each place we got a plain King Cake and then from Haydel's we got a Cajun Kringle (Praline) and at a few others we got different fillings. We then assembled multiple friends and family and had a taste off. My family are from out of state, but my husbands family are born and raised New Orleanians. Now, I will go into this saying that we had a favorite from past years and that was Randazzo's hands down. We did not tell anyone where any of the cakes came from. It was unanimously voted Randazzo's. It was the moistest by far, the icing evenly covered the cake and there were ample amounts of it, and the width of the cake was perfect. Also it did not leave that taste/feeling on the back of your throat when too much cinnamon is used. Coming in not even a close second was Haydel's plain, and Haydel's Cajun Kringle was third. I guess it serves to reason that a place that is only open from Jan. 2 until Lundi Gras, and only makes King Cakes would put out a superior product. Now, we do not have to wonder who makes the best cake anymore, and we will be buying all of our King Cakes from Randazzo's this year. My parents who live in Oklahoma are already asking us to have these cakes shipped to them next year.
When they come back into town in January we are going to next solve the age old question of who makes the best Roast Beef Po-Boy (thanks to the RBP tour thread on this board). I am not pregnant this year, so I don't really have an excuse to eat a lot, but who cares right? : )
re: mtleahy
Ah, but your definitive answer is not mine. I'm old fashioned; I don't like icing on my king cake at all, just colored sugar. It is very hard to find a REAL old-style brioche king cake not smothered in white icing (which is purchased in 5-gallon buckets and made w/HFCS) or stuffed with goopy fillings, so I've resorted to making my own, just like we used to do when I was a kid in the not-so-long-ago '70s.
re: Hungry Celeste
What's your recipe? I've made the one out of Jambalaya (that yellow cookbook from the NO Jr. League) and was pretty happy with it. The lemon and orange zest in the dough really made it for me. But I wasn't raised here. :)
re: JGrey
I've cobbled together my own, stealing from various sources. It's basically an extra-sweet brioche with a few spices dusted on the dough ropes before you braid it. Most of the recipe comes from Peter Reichart's "rich man's brioche" recipe from Bread Baker's Apprentice. I do fold in some toasted pecans, too.
re: Hungry Celeste
Yeah, the sweet brioche dough works for me. SAF makes a yeast specifically for sweet doughs, and that works very well for King cake. King Arthur flour online has a good dough recipe, though they offer a cream-cheese filling to go with it (I skip that). But I do add a touch of almond oil to the melted butter to help keep the baked dough moist. One good point about the King Arthur recipe is that it also uses a wonderful extract called Fiori di Sicilia to flavor the brioche (I make my own version of that by using equal parts Nielsen-Massey Tahitian vanilla extract, orange extract, and almond extract -- it adds the most delicious frangrance and the taste complements the buttery flavor of the dough beautifully). Fiori di Sicilia can be bought online from King Arthur flour.
re: lindygal
You know, I bought a bottle of fiore di Sicilia, and I decided I can't stand the stuff!
re: mtleahy
Exactly what I would have done, but you missed Zoe's, Rouses, Antoines, Hi-de-ho, Laurel St, Duong Phong, Cake Cafe, and Sucre!
re: mtleahy
Which Randazzo's is the one you recommend? There seem to be several branches. I'm ordering to New York, so want one that can deliver overnight.
re: bmoskowitz
It is Manny Randazzo's: http://www.mannyrandazzo.com/
re: mtleahy
Okay, Manny's it is.
The story and recipe of a King Cake
The story of the king cake begins, like the story of Mardi Gras itself, with the pagans. They had a celebration where a young man from the village was chosen to be treated like a king for a whole year. He was not denied during his reign, but after the year was over he became a human sacrifice to the gods. To eliminate this pagan custom, the Christian Church encouraged an observance calling for the preparation of a king cake containing a bean; whoever received the slice with the bean became king for a week and was allowed to choose a queen to reign with him. This took the place of the sacrificial pagan rite.
The King Cake tradition is believed to have been brought to New Orleans, Louisiana, from France in the 1870's. It evolved from the Twelfth Night or Epiphany pastry made by those early settlers. They added their own touches with the Spanish custom of choosing Twelfth Night royalty.
In European countries, the coming of the wise men bearing gifts to the Christ Child is celebrated twelve days after Christmas. The celebration, called Epiphany, Little Christmas on the Twelfth Night, is a time of exchanging gifts and feasting. All over the world people gather for festive Twelfth Night celebrations. One of the most popular customs is still the baking of a special cake in honor of the three kings..."A King's Cake" or Gateau de Roi.
A King Cake's ring shape, too, is significant, as some believe it symbolizes the unity of all Christians, and others believe it aptly resembles a king's crown.
A dried bean was originally hidden inside the cake but was replaced by coins, peas, pecans, rubber dolls, porcelain dolls, and in recent years plastic dolls. Starting around the 1930s, a tiny naked baby (Frozen Charlotte) was used instead of the bean or pea. The baby can be pink, brown, or golden. Some people believe that the baby represents the baby Jesus because Twelfth Night was when the three kings found the baby in Bethlehem.
Tradition has it that the person who finds the baby in the king cake is the next queen or king, he or she receives a year of good luck, is treated as royalty for that day and must host the next king cake party.
King Cake season lasts throughout Mardi Gras from the feast of the Epiphany until Mardi Gras Day.
The royal colors of purple, green and gold on the cake honors the three kings who visited the Christ child on the Epiphany. Purple represents Justice. Green stands for Faith. Gold signifies Power.
The three colors appeared in 1872 on a Krewe of Rex carnival flag especially designed for the visiting Grand Duke of Russia. He came to New Orleans just for the carnival, and the universal colors remain his legacy.
Yield: 12 servings
Prep Time: 2 hours 40 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients: Cake
• ½ cup warm water (100° to 110° F)
• 2 (.25 ounce) envelopes active dry yeast
• 2 teaspoons white sugar
• 4-5 cups bread flour
• ½ cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1½ teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
• ½ cup warm milk (105° to 115° F)
• ½ cup melted butter – cooled
• 5 egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon anise extract
• - vegetable oil/shortening
• 1 plastic baby toy
Ingredients: Glaze (Yield: 1½ cups)
• 2 cups sifted powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoons almond extract
• 2-3 Tablespoons water
Ingredients: Decoration
• - Purple, green and gold sugar sprinkles
1. Dissolve yeast and 2 teaspoons sugar in ½ cup warm water in a small bowl. Mix well and let stand in a warm place 10 minutes.
2. Combine 4 cups flour, ½ cup sugar, salt, nutmeg and grated lemon zest in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook.
3. Add warm milk, melted butter, egg yolks, anise and yeast mixture to the mixer bowl. Mix on low speed until it lightly comes together, then increase the speed to medium and beat until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the bowl, forms a ball, and climbs slightly up the dough hook.
4. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead in remaining flour until dough is no longer sticky. Continue kneading until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
5. Place in a well-greased bowl and turn it to oil all sides. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, set in a warm (85°), draft-free place, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1½ hours.
Hint: A closed unlit gas oven is an excellent draft-free place. The heat from the pilot provides adequate warmth for proper rising. With an electric oven, turn to 150° for about 3 minutes, then turn off the heat and open the door for 3 minutes. Place the bowl of dough in the oven and quickly close the door. This will give you an approximate temperature of 85°, just right for even and fairly quick rising.
6. Punch dough down and turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
7. Shape dough into a cylinder 30 inches long and 6 inches in diameter. Place dough roll on a lightly greased baking sheet.
8. Bring ends together to form an oval ring, moistening and pinching edges together to seal.
9. Place a well-greased 2 pound coffee can in the center of the ring to maintain the shape during baking.
10. Press the plastic baby toy into the ring from the bottom so that it is completely hidden by the dough.
11. Cover the ring with a towel and place in a warm, draft free place. Let the dough rise for about 45 minutes or until the dough doubles in size.
12. Preheat the oven 350° F.
13. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
14. After baking remove the coffee can immediately. Allow the cake to cool.
15. After baking remove the coffee can immediately. Allow the cake to cool.
16. Cut the cake into individual pieces and serve.
Ça c'est bon!!!
I'm solidly in the McKenzie's corner. Just a plain brioche cake with colored sugar, no icing. The big ones were rectangular and had a cherry at either end and sprinkles around the cherry instead of sugar. Man. Those are the only cakes that taste like Mardi Gras to me. And Tastee Donuts does a pretty darn good job of recreating the original Not exactly the same, but the same flavor and texture. I tried the Tastee version for the first time last year. I would say the only differences are the sugar (Tastee's seemed more powdery and dry than I recall with the McKenzie's version) and the sizes (I think they only sold one size, whereas McKenzie's had multiple sizes.
There aren't many of us who prefer the plain old McKenzie's cake to any other king cake, but if you're one of us, I would strongly suggest checking out Tastee Donuts' version come carnival time.
re: Shiloh
I am with the traditionalists here who dislike filled king cakes, even though you risk getting a dry one. Filling usually pushes you over the edge into diabetic-coma type sweetness.
Having grown up with the younger generation of Haydels, I'm a blind loyalist to products originating from the bakery at 4037 Jefferson Highway.
One word of semi-warning. A Cajun Kringle from Haydels, though good, and shaped like a king cake, is not the same thing.
For Celeste and State Street, who make their own, my admiration for you is only increased. My mom tried this once when I was a child, the outcome was not at all like a king cake, and we never went back.
re: jamy
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Antoine's- it used to be on Frerret near Napoleon, now it's on the West Bank somewhere but they sell their cakes at the little Crepe shop on Broadway.
For traditional, no icing cakes- try O'Delice on Magazine. It was VERY VERY Good. Too expensive for me to buy for a party again, but I would buy it again for a smaller group of people that I like.
re: Shiloh
There are so many king cakes today, but none remind me of growing up in New Orleans(the Westbank). In grammar school we always had the plain king cakes from McKenzies. The were decorated with purple, green and gold sugar and multicolored sprinkles with a cherry. I can remember how excited we would be to have king cake and hopefully find the baby in our piece of cake. Oh how I long for a piece of that wonderful king cake!! Many people like the filled king cakes with all the fancy flavors, but all they amount to is a wonderful dessert to go with a cup of coffee.
I will try the Tastee Donut version, but I will have to make a special trip to NO for that. I hope it's worth the drive. I'm glad to see that there are others out there who miss the plain McKenzie king cake.
I've lived in quite a few cities and Tastee Donuts are the best donuts I've ever had! Growing up, we used to go there every Saturday morning for breakfast. That is the one thing I miss since my parents left New Orleans. Breakfast on Saturday mornings at her house is just not the same.
re: lil red
I miss McKenzie's king cakes too. Not too sugary like some others. The Sweet Car in the Intercontinental Hotel makes a fine king cake. It's croissant-like, if they still have the same pastry chef.
re: lil red
Lil Red, what part of the WB?
Have you been to Coffee & in Marrero?
They have much better donuts than Tastee, esp when they are just made.
I also remember those McKenzies King Cakes and always wanted the piece with the cherry. I did like them, but I like the current versions now too.
re: Isabella
Oh my goodness I too went for the cherry piece which was usually gone if I didn't get there in time...Just heard from an old-school New Orleanian that her fave is the apple flavor from Winnnnnnnnnn-Dixie - "The Beef (& now King Cake) People"!
I'm a traditionalist. The problem with randazzo's and these cream filled King Cakes (or King's Cake) is that they are GOOD. King Cake (with the exception of Haydel's) is supposed to taste only slightly better than the corrugated cardboard it comes on so that you MUST wash it down with coffee which, of course, has been dripped in your little enamel pot on the stove. It goes without saying that the "king cakes" one sees at football tailgate parties are anathema. It is just plain wrong to have it before Jan 6.
The Cajun Kringle at Haydel's has made me a slave.
re: hazelhurst
I agree with you totally, hazelhurst. It should be against the law to see them /sell them before Jan. 6. For sure, it must be a sin!
That's as bad as someplace in Oregon having them in Lent!
re: vttp926
The best King Cake in louisiana is at pouparts in Lafayette. The Bavarian Cream is the best ever!!!!!!!!!!!
re: louis evans IV
I so love pouparts... their breads are so wonderful.
re: malenky
The chocolate-dipped florentines are tasty, too.
re: Hungry Celeste
I haven't had their napoleons in a while, but I remember them fondly.
re: louis evans IV
louis evans
Thanks for the mention of Pouparts. I was in Lafayette on a boudin run a couple days ago and stopped in to the bakeshop to have a look see and buy a King Cake.
I walked down the massive, crammed to the gills, pastry cases just pointing and shooting at what looked good.
It took 2 trips to the Ford to get all my goods stored for the ride back to Austin.
The Bavarian Cream, the Florentines, the fudge, the turtle cookies, the mini pecan pies...the list goes on-everything has been perfectly prepared and of utmost deliciousness.
The good folks of Lafayette have a true treasure in this little shop.
Haven't tried the King Cake yet but it's a pretty one.
Hell, I haven't even tried any of the boudin I got from Johnson's or Best Stop.
I've been too busy wolfing down all my sweet treats.
Anyone with a sweet tooth who finds themselves near Lafayette should make a Pouparts run.
re: scrumptiouschef
I'd be interested in knowing what you thought of the Best Stop boudin. Is that all your purchased there?
re: scrumptiouschef
My Poupart's King Cake had been silent in the freezer for lo these many weeks til 2 days ago.
We wrestled it out, put it in a 200 degree oven for 12 minutes and [on Hazelhurst's recommendation] washed it down with a big pot of good coffee.
Although it's certainly possible there's a commercial version better than this one [cinnamon pecan] I would have to try it to be convinced.
Thank god Pouparts is an 800 mile round trip or I'd weigh 300lbs. Everything that came out of their case was splendid.
re: scrumptiouschef
Their savory take-and-bake stuff is good, too. Poupart's is one of the things I miss about living in lafayette.
re: scrumptiouschef
The Napoleans are my fave. Also like the chocolate-filled eclairs.
re: lennyzenith
Somebody told me (can't remember who) that the Tastee Doughnuts near Transcontinental & West Esplanade has the old-fashioned, McKenzie's king cakes. Tastee also sells "buttermilk drops" and their version of the turtle cookies.
re: Hungry Celeste
is it king cake season already? my little sister is waiting for the day so we can order.
re: vttp926
Twelfth Night (January 6, the Feast of the Epiphany, the traditional start of the carnival season) was a few days ago. Order away.
re: Hungry Celeste
And we have scant weeks to enjoy it....carnival day is less than a month away. See ya on Da Avenue (I'll be second-lining the Marines)
re: lennyzenith
Wow, I remember having this fight with my backyard neighboor when I was a kid, and I guess it is just what you grow up with in house. She was all about McKenzie's; we were a Gambino's family. (Haven't had one in years, but back in the 70's, it was my world) No filling, just moist, cinnamony and sweet. Gotta love a town where you can argue about a seasonal cake for decades. Every attempt as adults we have made to bake our own was a study in multicolor doorstops.
Antoine's just off West Bank Expressway on Stumpf, across from the back of the Home Depot. Wonderfully consistent, well made, reasonably priced cakes. They have the slightest hint of orange or satsuma that really sets them above everything else (particularly since Randazzo's Goodchildren Bakery in Chalmette has not reopened-they were the standard, no doubt). Maybe a little too much icing, but it comes off easily, if you don't want it. These guys took a pretty bad hit to their Freret St. location from Katrina flooding--the landlord never re-habed the building, so they're limited to the Gretna location for now. Well worth the trip across the river. If you're stuck in Metairie world, the branch of the Randazzo's family that operates there puts out a close but not quite the same version of the Goodchildren cake. If you didn't really savor the cakes from the original Randazzo's, you won't know the difference and either Antoine's or Manny Randazzo's should make you plenty happy.
I was in N.O. yesterday and went to Tastee Donuts and got a McKenzie K.C. it was good for being a non filled cake.
re: gotech
I heard a story about it on NPR, All Things Considered, I want to say. They touted it as the best, though I've never tried it myself.
re: gotech
i live in MS and i have had pauls and dont care for it to much. i drive over to NO and get Gambinos.
re: gotech
Paul's king cakes are absolutely delicious. They're the best IMHO.
re: imanerd
Do you work for them? This is an old thread and Paul's isn't even in New Orleans.
re: gotech
DARN good King Cake there. I was reading on down to see is anyone mentioned it. Sorry I just joined the board and was surfing today. Yes, Paul's has a very good king cake.
Randazzo's Chalmette ain't dere no more...BUT....Nonna Randazzo's on Hwy. 190 on the Northshore has the virtually the exact kingcake the Chalmette bakery was famous for, and it's owned by the granddaughter of the original!
Also...surprisingly Rouses has a great kingcake, not too sweet, lots of cinnammon and just enough icing
re: mt234
The Randazzo's family has a bunch of branches now operating bakeries; don't ask me about the relationships, I can't keep track. Manny Randazzo's, Randazzo's Goodchildren, Nona Randazzo's, Randazzo's Camellia City, etc.
The king cake from Langenstein's is pretty good, too, plain & bready without being dry. Don't know if they're made in house or not.
Found a neat info site about Mardi Gras in New Orleans. It has a "Top 5 King Cakes" review section along with how to order from the bakeries online. I like the Manny Randazzo's king cake the best.
If you like traditional McKenzie's style king cake with no icing...just sugar...then you'll love the king cake from Hi-Do bakery on the Westbank. I love this little hidden gem. They also make the best french bread you'll ever eat and they sell out every day!
Oh my goodness - I'm new to this site & as an expat am lovin all the food discussion - there's not many where I am now who can discuss the finer points of RBs & king cakes. My 1st (as many of us) was McKenzie's & we liked it just fine thank you! And then I discovered (thanks to my bestest friend's family) Randazzo's in Chalmette - that was it for me. We went there b4 every Chalmette parade we went to. Glad they live on after Katrina!
Dorignac's grocery on Vet's has traditional brioche-style unfilled king cakes topped with colored sugar only
I agree with VIvi Doom.
The best King Cake is a homemade one.
Here is a link to several recipes.
my favorite is Nola Cake's, now in the Marigny. brioche bread, has one filled with savory goat cheese and apples, frosting is drizzled over it like a Jackson Pollock painting. very good, won best in 2009 at the farmer's market contest.
re: texasredtop
La Boulangerie and Maurice's each make a version of the galette du roi.
re: Hungry Celeste
You know, come to think of it, I think I have seen them in Maurice's before. I didn't know what it was at the time - so sad for me. I adore them now. We went to the new Maurice's on the south side of I-10 several times before the one in Metairie reopened and they were really pretty rude and had very little to offer at 9:00 AM - we always stop there on our way out of town for a box of goodies for the road. Come to think of it, the one in Metairie had pretty rude service too. They can verbally abuse me all they want as long as I get a couple of napoleons.
re: Hungry Celeste
Croissant D'Or in the French Quarter also makes them. They are delicious, at least as good as those from Maurice's.
re: sirvelvet
+1 for d'or. frangipane..
re: texasredtop
Got one from Boulangerie this past weekend. Delicious.
re: N.O.Food
I won't get the old kind now that I've had the galette du roi. I'm pumping myself up now to make a drive across town tomorrow to pick one up at Andre's. Or two.........
re: texasredtop
Traditionally galette des rois is only eaten on 12th Night. King Cake is eaten all during Carnival.
I found a place with really good king cake!!! Barkers Dozen (504) 682-7801 - 7801 E Saint Bernard Hwy, Violet, LA, 70092...... We purchased a cream cheese filled cake... yum yum yum!! While we were there, I picked up a small unfilled king cake and it felt good and heavy, I believe that I will try the unfilled next year!!
The large filled was 22.00.. It is the best king cake I have had since randazzos. In fact it is a toss up between the two.
The Praline King Cake at Haydel's was excellent. The individual King Cake at Antoine's Annex - not so much.
I have an annual king cake tasting party for my dinner/social group, NOLA Eats. This year's winner was Sucre, with Cake Cafe being the runner-up. I think that per posting guidelines, I am not allowed to link to the exact article, but you can check out my blog (http://nola-eats.com) and read the details.
I swear by Manny Randazzo's king cakes and order one online each year https://www.randazzokingcake.com/. However, my former company (recognizing I am a native of Louisiana) asked me to coordinate a Mardi Gras party to boost morale. I attempted to order king cakes from Randazzo's but couldn't get the delivery date I needed. I ended up ordering 12 king cakes (plain and filled) from Randazzo's Carmellia City Bakery http://www.kingcakes.com/. The cakes were excellent. The plain king cake had icing and sprinkles. For those who hate that sweet-grainy-crunchy taste from the colored sugar, you will love this not-too-sweet icing and few sprinkles. I still go for Randazzo's (whether it's sister-brother-nephew owned). They make the best! The only difference is one ships using FEDEX and the other ships using DHL.
re: sg0302
Didn't DHL domestic services end January 30, 2009?
re: speyerer
Could be right. This event was w/my former employer and I have already been with new employer over two years. Thanks for the update.
If you are ever in Lafayette, LA go to Kellers Bakery. They will also ship you one. If it is not regular King Cake season they will make one as a special order.
Very moist. Not too sugary. My favorite is the original but they make plenty of other flavors.
re: laureli219
No doubt Kellers is good. In fact, Lafayette has a number of great bakeries. I want to mention a noteworthy newcomer to the Lafayette king cake scene, Classic Golden Pecans. They do a Praline Pecan Cream Cheese king cake that is really good. They also offer four other flavors, including strawberry, blueberry, chocolate and cream cheese. Their cakes are distinctive in that they don't use pecan pieces, but whole pecan halves in every cake.
re: pchaney
Are the in-store prices the same as online? At $60+, I'm not sure locals would flock in.
re: whatisagrit
Dianne's cakes look great. Somewhat off-topic, but Coffee Cottage used to make savory-dough King Cakes stuffed with spicy Crawfish Etouffee and "iced" with cheese. Hot from the oven, they were insanely delicious. (Sadly, the cakes were discontinued years ago.)
re: ichabodsdad
Get the original McKenzies king cake at the Tastee Donuts on Clearview.
The very best king cake I've had since McKenzie's comes from a small bakery in Gentilly called "Daddy's Donuts". Don't laugh; these are awesome! Look up the address and give them a try; you'll really be surprised!
had a terrific KC the other day at the Buttermilk Drop Cafe on N Dorgenois...$9 I think....
best was that they were filled to order or plain~ and the buttermilk drops were the real deal
The Tastee Donuts on Clearview sells McKenzie's original king cake. Tastee bought McKenzies's recipe and too be honest, they tend to be moister than what I remember. They are amazing and NOT a cinnamon roll, stuffed and frosted.
Sucre has amazing cakes that all of my recipients across the country loved--10-15 seconds in the microwave makes a delicious treat

You Are Being Lied To
Russ Kick, editor
You Are Being Lied To
|Russ Kick, editor
|The Disinformation Co. Ltd.
By now, most literate or even semiliterate citizens of the United States and elsewhere know the system doesn't work for them; it works for heads of state and giant multinational corporations. But since the mainstream media tends to rest squarely in the side pocket of these groups, one has to make a full-time job of proving the dominant paradigm wrong. That's where the counterculture Web portal Disinformation (www.disinfo.com) comes in, all ready and set to sell whoever will listen the not-so-surprising revelation that You Are Being Lied To, about a great many things.
Some of the essays in this collection--penned by such intelligentsia celebrities as Noam Chomsky, Jim Hogshire, and Thomas Lyttle--occasionally contradict each other and trumpet the sizable egos of their authors. But they also pose a healthy challenge to the reader's perception of the outside world. At their best, they strike a mighty blow against the ignorance fostered by the dominant culture.
The collection excels with its political-science and media critiques. Chomsky sets the tone for many of the essays with a brief outline of his theories on mainstream media. Subsequent exposés such as Michael Parenti's "The Media and Their Atrocities" follow Chomsky's tactics for deconstructing popularly reported news items--in this case, the Kosovo crisis--almost to the letter. Such formulaic writing made this reader thankful for Sidney Schanberg's "The War Secrets Senator John McCain Hides," an excellent piece of investigative reporting that shows how the federal government, and McCain, have more information about POWs and MIAs than has been shown to their families.
Other sections of this book, such as the one about religion, "Holy Rolling," don't work as well, thanks in part to shorter and less-complete condensations of their topics. In such segments, the collection loses its coherency and, at the awkward moments where the essayists take the time to plug their books (presumably available on the Disinformation site), its legitimacy.
But this should not dissuade readers from taking in the message of hope delivered by Jim Hogshire, who in "Poppycock" transforms the prohibition of the opium poppy into a profound metaphor for foolish, utterly brutal tyranny. (Hogshire speaks of the efficacy of a single shot of morphine and determines that "the power to relieve pain is greater than the power to inflict pain.") Nor does it weaken Howard Zinn's "Columbus and Western Civilization," which brilliantly analyzes why children are taught to see Christopher Columbus' brutal colonization of the Americas as heroic. As difficult as it may be to arrive at the truth, all of these authors believe it can still set us free. And from there we can draw our own conclusions.

Cody Rhodes
Real Name
Cody Runnels
Date of Birth
June 30, 1985
Place of Birth
Michael Moody has passed away. While he's not necessarily a well known name in the world of professional wrestling, many will remember him as being the son of the legendary Paul Bearer. When the company wanted to induct the iconic manager into their hall of fame, WWE enlisted the help of his two sons to do the honors. Moody was 34 years of age and passed away in his sleep.
September 22, 2014
When his contract was expiring, a lot of fans wondered what TNA would do with Bully Ray and his stories since he was leaving the company. The two sides have reached an agreement to continue working together, so that the stories can be resolved. Bully Ray will also work the Bound For Glory 2014 event and be inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame before parting ways.
September 15, 2014
Reports surfaced not too long ago that Bully Ray was leaving TNA, as his contract was set to expire and a new deal could not be reached between the two sides. Apparently, he is going to remain on good terms with management, as the former world heavyweight champion is still being advertised for Bound For Glory 2014. Team 3D is scheduled to be inducted into the hall of fame that evening, but it would not come as a shock if Bully ended up working a match on the pay per view.
August 30, 2014
In the past, Kevin Nash has been pretty adamant about not wanting to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. He's even gone as far as to instruct his wife to decline the offer if he were to pass away. It seems like Nash is now softening his stance. He recently stated that he would refuse to be inducted as Diesel, but he did not mention anything about going in under his real name.
August 11, 2014
Some interesting news was recently revealed by Jake Roberts. The master of the DDT told fans that he initially did not want to be inducted during the same night as the Ultimate Warrior, as the two of them have had a longstanding backstage heat. Roberts also stated that he was going to avoid Warrior at the hall of fame ceremony. However, both sides decided to make up with one another instead.
August 3, 2014
With the company losing millions of dollars this year, budget cuts are looming over everyone in WWE. The latest string of them has made a casualty out of a beloved hall of fame performer. Ricky Steamboat has quietly been released from his contract. The former Intercontinental Champion had been working in the talent relations department under Triple H over the past year.
July 19, 2014
A black eye usually is not something to be proud of. It is, however, when you're a lifelong wrestling fan being punched by one of the greatest performers that the industry has ever seen. Bray Wyatt received a black eye during a big live event at Madison Square Garden in New York City over the weeken due to an errant punch by Ric Flair. Reports are stating that the incident happened because Flair forgot that he was wearing his hall of fame ring. There is said to be no backstage heat between the two due to the injury.
July 14, 2014
Since leaving WWE earlier in the year, CM Punk has remained relatively quiet, making sporadic appearances at NHL and MLB games. The former world heavyweight champion is going to be making a higher profile appearance later on this month. Punk will be the co-host of the kickoff show for the Alternative Press Music Awards, which is being held at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.
July 9, 2014
After announcing his retirement from UFC, Chael Sonnen posted a quote on his Twitter account that stated, "Bad times don't last, but bad guys do." The comment caught the attention of Scott Hall, who proceeded to criticize Sonnen for stealing the line that he made while being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. This appears to be a misunderstanding as Sonnen is a big fan of wrestling and has used several quotes over the years.
June 22, 2014
When TNA announced at Slammiversary 2014 that Devon and Bully Ray were going to be inducted into the hall of fame, it led to a lot of speculation about the status of Devon with the company. It looks like the former television champion is making a return to TNA, as his profile has been restored on the official roster page on their website.
June 17, 2014
Since he is easily one of the biggest stars that professional wrestling ever produced, the Rock remains the top choice for WWE when it comes to the Hall of Fame induction ceremony at Wrestlemania 31. However, the company has now focused on Sting as a potential candidate to take the top spot in the class next year in case they are unable to convince Rock to participate in the event.
June 17, 2014
Thus far, the TNA Hall of Fame consists of Sting and Kurt Angle, two of the more prolific performers in the history of the industry. A third member is set to join them. At Slammiversary 2014, Angle will be on hand to announce who the latest inductee will be. No official word on who the third person was going to be, but there are heavy rumors that Jeff Jarrett could be inducted as part of his departure agreement with TNA.
June 11, 2014
Today is a sad one for professional wrestling fans. It marks the third year anniversary of the death of Randy Savage, one of the biggest legends in WWE history. The former Intercontinental Champion passed away after suffering a heart attack and crashing into a tree while driving. Much like before his death, fans have been begging WWE to induct him into the hall of fame.
May 20, 2014
"They try to make that hall of fame leigtimate, but if you'll notice, to me, it's politically driven. A dead giveaway is Hunter wanting all of his little buddies, his little circle first. He's taken care of all of them." - Bob Holly suggesting that backstage politics plays a big part in the WWE Hall of Fame
May 19, 2014
Earlier this month, rumors surfaced that Mickie James and Rikishi were candidates to join the Rock at the hall of fame induction ceremony during Wrestlemania 31. Another name that WWE has reportedly been discussing is Kevin Nash, even though the former world heavyweight champion has been vocally against being inducted.
May 17, 2014
Another interesting name that has surfaced in the rumor mill as a potential hall of fame inductee at Wrestlemania 31 is Rikishi. The belief is that including him in the same class as the Rock, whom WWE is hoping will be the centerpiece induction at the event, makes a lot of sense. There is also the chance that a reconciliation and reunion with Naomi Knight and Jimmy Uso could be a big story.
May 14, 2014
Since the company has already given the honors to Lita and Trish Stratus, two of the more known WWE Divas over the last two decades, management is said to be looking for another female performer to induct into the hall of fame at Wrestlemania 31. A name being tossed around right now is Mickie James, who is currently pregnant but should be available by next spring.
May 14, 2014
When he is not inducting his good friend into the WWE Hall of Fame, Kevin Nash does a little bit of work as an actor. The former world heavyweight champion revealed that he has a small part in an upcoming movie with Keanu Reeves. It is called John Wick. Reeves plays the lead role as a highly qualified hit man who ends up killing more than 300 people in the film.
May 2, 2014

April 29, 2014
"He's definitely a legendary guy that deserves to be in the WWE Hall of Fame, I'm glad he got to go in when he was still alive. I always respected him as a performer, some of his matches were pretty quick I remember he came in the Winnipeg arena once and beat Andre the Giant in 30 seconds, at the time I was like, 'What a rip off! That sucks.' But I remember Wrestlemania 6 where he had a classic with Hulk Hogan, much like a lot of guys from that time period he had good matches when he had the right opponent." - Chris Jericho on Ultimate Warrior as a performer
April 29, 2014
Since they are now one of the more entertaining acts in the industry, Miz and Damien Sandow are the favorites to win the WWE tag team championship at Survivor Series 2014. Cody Rhodes and Goldust have lost a good amount of momentum, mainly due to the creative department not putting much focus on them. The feeling is that Miz and Sandow can help bring some energy back into the tag team division.
November 23, 2014
On Night of Champions 2014, Cody Rhodes and Goldust defeated Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso for the WWE tag team championship. Rumors are floating around that management felt that the twins had grown stale because they ran out of teams to defend the titles again. Plus, Rhodes has really been getting into his Stardust character, so the front office wants to see if the gimmick can pick up further steam with a championship push.
September 22, 2014
Reports are surfacing that WWE will be throwing a last minute fatal four way match together at Summerslam 2014, where Cody Rhodes, Goldust, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Curtis Axel and Ryback will all be vying for the tag titles. Management does not view this division to be a priority at this time, even though fan interest has grown.
August 7, 2014
In a match that was slightly held in higher regards than a filler match, Goldust and Cody Rhodes, who worked under his Stardust gimmick again, defeated Curtis Axel, who was sporting a ridiculous looking singlet, and Ryback. The match was designed to highlight the Stardust character. Since there was a little bit of action after the match, there is a chance that WWE could be continuing this feud.
June 29, 2014
Despite creating a buzz online with fans, Cody Rhodes had his Stardust character omitted by WWE during the company's broadcast of Monday Night Raw on Hulu. Every week, management decides which segments are important enough to include on that version of their television show. Rumors have it that WWE does not deem Rhodes and Goldust as a high priority at the moment.
June 17, 2014
"It actually came from a joke. Cody Rhodes likes to tell a story that when he was a little kid he used to watch me wrestle. I'm slightly older than Cody, we're talking three years or something like that, but in his head I'm a really old man. I once walked into the locker room and he was telling the entire locker room that when he was a kid he was watching me wrestling as this character he made up named 'Bad News Barrett' who goes around giving out bad news to people. So we all laughed about it and forgot about it. Then I was invited on the JBL and Cole show and they said they wanted to use me on the show and asked if I had any ideas of what to do. So I said you know what, let's just do Bad News Barrett. I'll just turn up and give people bad news and then disappear. I got a really good response online and fans were loving the catch phrase 'I'm afraid I've got some bad news' and Vince McMahon saw it and thought it was the funniest thing he had ever seen. Next thing you know I'm on TV doing it." - Wade Barrett explaining how his new gimmick in WWE came ot be
June 16, 2014
Rumors are running rampant right now that Ted DiBiase will be making his return to WWE tonight, as Goldust has been posting several interesting updates on Twitter. He and DiBiase even had a direct interaction, where they asked one another if they would be at Monday Night Raw tonight. WWE is running a story line where Cody Rhodes has been choosing tag team partners for his older brother.
June 9, 2014
In a match designed by WWE to accelerate the split between the brothers, Curtis Axel and Ryback defeated Cody Rhodes and Goldust in the second match of Payback 2014. Ryback picked up the pin fall victory for his team after delivering the Shell Shock to Rhodes. Afterwards, Rhodes told Goldust that he needs to find a better tag team partner for himself.
June 1, 2014
Another match being penciled in for Extreme Rules 2014 is Cody Rhodes vs Goldust. WWE has been planting the seeds of dissension between the real life brothers, and you can expect the story line to heat up over the next couple of weeks, leading to a pay per view match. Depending on how well the fans react to the feud, Goldust could be leaving WWE shortly afterwards.
May 11, 2014
When Cody Rhodes and Goldust finally split up in the story line, it appears that the younger brother will be the one doing the heel turn. WWE has been testing out the audience reaction by having Rhodes walk out on Goldust during tag team matches. The belief is that fans would be more sympathetic towards Goldust because of the nostalgia factor.
May 3, 2014
For the last several weeks, there have been rumors floating around that Goldust was going to be leaving WWE in the near future, and the belief now is that he will be making his departure after working a feud against his brother Cody Rhodes. Seeds of dissension between the two have been planted by the writers over the last couple weeks of Monday Night Raw.
May 1, 2014
Despite being given a new story line where he more than likely will be splitting from his brother Goldust and possibly feuding with him, Cody Rhodes remains very low on the priority list backstage in WWE right now. The highly talented performer has not been utilized in a high profile position for quite a few months. Speculation of backstage heat still persists.
April 29, 2014
While it has yet to be officially confirmed, you can expect to see Curtis Axel and Ryback challenging Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso for the WWE tag team championship at Extreme Rules 2014. The seeds for the match was placed when the former Paul Heyman duo attacked the Usos after they defeated Cody Rhodes and Goldust on Monday Night Raw last week.
April 25, 2014
A video of how Brandi Rhodes, the wife of Cody Rhodes, spent her Easter. WWE has been trying to promote the developmental diva, who appears briefly in her underwear, through their website over the last several weeks.
April 24, 2014
Despite working a segment that is building towards a feud for the tag team championship, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso were removed from the Hulu version of Monday Night Raw this week. The brother tandem defeated Cody Rhodes and Goldust before setting up their program with Curtis Axel and Ryback. WWE still intends to continue the story line.
April 23, 2014
Rumors have sparked about Cody Rhodes and Goldust doing a heel turn soon. However, that is just pure speculation at this point, as a lot of people are under the belief that WWE was testing things out at the live event in Saudi Arabia earlier this week. The brothers worked a match against Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso, but it was simply a matter of filling out the card.
April 22, 2014
In an interesting move, WWE had Dean Ambrose defend the United States Heavyweight Championship at a live event in Saudi Arabia this week. He successfully retained the belt in a fatal four way that consisted of Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston and Dolph Ziggler. Ambrose has rarely been allowed to defend the US title over the last couple of months.
April 18, 2014
"Why are folks surprised by Nancy Grace? She got dumped by a professional wrestler in the 1980s and started a life quest to be just awful. If she was remotely confident in her accusations, she would interview an active talent. Yet, she won't do that because she'd have a Mark Cuban and Skip Bayless situation, and she would come off as the ignorant sweat hog she actually is." - Cody Rhodes bashes Nancy Grace for attacking the wrestling business
April 10, 2014
In a sign that they are still in the dog house with management, Cody Rhodes and Goldust were removed from the Hulu version of Monday Night Raw this week. Their match against Damien Sandow and Fandango, two guys who normally do not team up together, was considered a throwaway segment and not deemed important enough for rebroadcast.
April 1, 2014
WWE has announced that the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal will consists of Alberto Del Rio, Big E Langston, Big Show, Brodus Clay, Christian, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Darren Young, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Fandango, Goldust, Great Khali, Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal, Justin Gabriel, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, Miz, R Truth, Rey Mysterio, Santino Marella, Sheamus, Sin Cara, Titus ONeil and Zack Ryder. There are also four spots available for last minute entrants.

Ciba Foundation Symposium - Man and His Future

About this Book
Jean-Paul Sartre is often seen as the quintessential public intellectual, but this was not always the case. Until the mid-1940s he was not so well-known, even in France. Then suddenly, in a very short period of time, Sartre became an intellectual celebrity. How can we explain this remarkable transformation?
The Existentialist Moment retraces Sartre?s career and provides a compelling new explanation of his meteoric rise to fame. Baert takes the reader back to the confusing and traumatic period of the Second World War and its immediate aftermath and shows how the unique political and intellectual landscape in France at this time helped to propel Sartre and existentialist philosophy to the fore. The book also explores why, from the early 1960s onwards, in France and elsewhere, the interest in Sartre and existentialism eventually waned. The Existentialist Moment ends with a bold new theory for the study of intellectuals and a provocative challenge to the widespread belief that the public intellectual is a species now on the brink of extinction.

CPS wants to close two low-performing charter schools
BY TINA SFONDELES Staff reporter February 21, 2013 5:06PM
Updated: March 23, 2013 6:34AM
CPS has recommended closing two charter schools — one a high school, the other an elementary school — because of low performance, officials said.
Aspira Charter School's Mirta Ramirez high school campus on the Northwest Side and Betty Shabazz Charter School's DuSable campus on the South Side are being recommended for closure through a phase-out process, which CPS says will allow families and students the option to remain at their current school through graduation.
"These are tough choices, but they must be made in order to help our children succeed," CPS CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett said in a statement.
The news came ahead of a public hearing Thursday evening with parents and community members at the Board of Education.
Every school among the 12 charter operators due for renewal recommendations are being reviewed on several factors, including contract compliance, charter governance, history of fiscal management, academic growth and test scores, as well as parent input.
Both schools were identified as being low-performing. And CPS is also recommending the two charter operators be required to meet more specific annual academic benchmarks.
Test scores at both schools were below average last year. At Aspira, just 15.4 percent of 373 total students met state testing standards. At Shabazz, 10.1 percent of 311 total students met state standards in eighth grade.
Also on Thursday, CPS recommended three-year contract renewals for both Architecture, Construction and Engineering Technical Charter School and Community Services West Charter School.
Besides ACE Tech and CSW, all charter operators will be discussed at Thursday's public hearing. The board will vote on renewal and closure recommendations on Feb. 27.

Come celebrate Jacksonville's long history, interesting characters, and myriad of connections with Mauvaisterre Creek (and its urban tributary the Town Brook) in Brook Tales, a play by Ken Bradbury. Performances staged by students in Ken's Lincoln Land Community College traveling theater.
Proceeds to benefit the Jacksonville Park Foundation. Admission by donation. Performances at . . .
- 7pm Saturday May 17th at Grace United Methodist Church
- 2pm Sunday May 18th at Centenary United Methodist Church.
The play is based on stories from the Town Brook History Project plus interviews by Ken Bradbury and students. Performances feature a human map of the Town Brook, Lonnie the Tomato King, slideshow by Steve Warmowski, refreshments at intermission (trying to find a turtler so we can serve some good soup), music composed by students, plus two banjos and a guitar.
The Jacksonville Park Foundation focuses on health, recreation and families. The non-profit is starting several initiatives to improve the quality of life in the community.
More at Jacksonville Town Brook on Facebook or http://www.townbrook.com/
Town Brook History Project
The Jacksonville community has a long history and a myriad of connections with Mauvaisterre Creek and its urban tributary the Town Brook. The town grew up near its banks; the creek was used as a byway for travelers on the Underground Railroad; its waters were dammed to provide a water supply to support development; generations of kids grew up playing in the brook – hunting for snakes, looking for crawdads, exploring its banks.
Did you or someone you know grow up playing in the Town Brook? Have any family history along Mauvaisterre Creek? Or do you know a really good yarn? You can submit your story.
By submitting a story you agree to be a part of the Jacksonville Park Foundation history project. under CC0/Creative Commons Zero "No Rights Reserved" licensing. Emails will be added to a newsletter list for Town Brook updates.
Contest winners
The Town Brook Initiative of the Jacksonville Park Foundation held a Town Brook History Contest to celebrate this history. Winning stories were from:
- Cora Lee Lacey, who would catch snakes at the State Hospital Farm and tie strings around their "necks" so the snakes wouldn't get away during lunch.
- Sarah Angleton, recalling at 8 years old was stuck with her brother in the basement during a storm, with their parents cut off from the house by flooding.
- Sue Ann Hackett, who recalled story of friend finding pop bottles floating in the Town Brook with notes pleading "Help! Help! Captured. Let us out!" from men working at the State Hospital Farm.
- Dan Moy, for memories of playing baseball near Franklin School and having to clamber down into the Town Brook to retrieve home run balls.
- Roger Deem, who sought shelter from bullies at Franklin School at the edge of the Town Brook, later organized a cleanup of the waterway as an Eagle Scout project in 1975, and felt the connection of critters living along the brook.

Smallz & Raskin
Behm, formerly Miss Delaware USA and a Utah real estate agent, began her cooking career preparing food for her friends and family at tailgates, holiday parties and cookouts.
"I am self-taught, tasting, experimenting, reading, exploring other cultures, traveling--all those experiences have influence my food," she says. "I like being fearless in the kitchen, if I mess it up then I try again."
Gregg Gayne
Jennifer's relentless determination and confidence allowed her to pull ahead of the competition last week and capture the MasterChef crown.
1. Always prep your ingredients. Rub or marinate food with herbs or vegetable purees to add nutrients and deep flavors to your dish.
"I took each challenge one at a time win or lose. Once a challenge was over I put it in a box and up on a shelf and moved on to the next challenge. It was the only way to make it through."
Jennifer developed her unstoppable willpower growing up in a "man-centric" world. Playing on a boy's soccer team, spending her vacations camping...it was only natural for her to fall in love with grilling.
Follow Bedhm's lead and get out of the kitchen and on to the patio. Light up your grill with Jennifer's must-know grilling tips:
2. Experiment with direct and indirect grilling. When cooking thin cuts of meat, seafood and vegetables place food directly over the flame. For larger cuts of meat, place food to the side of the heat source and shut the barbeque lid to create a roasting effect.
3. Wait for meat to reach room temperature before grilling. Cold meat will cook unevenly, leaving the inside raw and the outside burnt.
4. Use the proper grilling utensils. It's not hard to find an outrageously expensive barbeque tool kit, but all you really need to invest in is a pair of tongs, a spatula, and a long-handled fork.
5. Grill all season long no matter where you live! The grill is extremely versatile and women should learn to conquer the grill beast so that they can create delightful food all year long.
Keep an eye out for Behm's upcoming cookbook for even more grilling tips and possibly a few of her MasterChef recipes!

GU Roctane Ultra Endurance Drink Mix - 24 ServingsSpecifically formulated to meet the demands of prolonged, ultra-endurance exercise, GU Roctane Ultra Endurance drink mix contains critical carbs and electrolyte replenishment for high-level competition. Caffeine increases mental acuity, enhances performance and decreases perceived effort. Taurine combats heart and skeletal muscle fatigue. Beta-alanine and histidine help buffer acid caused by going over lactate threshold, and amino acids prevent muscle damage and aid with muscle recovery. All these performance-enhancing ingredients are packed inside a super-light tasting, easy-to-mix formula to keep you going hour, after hour.
- Ideal carbohydrate ratio of glucose to fructose is podium-proven to better maintain glycogen levels than glucose or fructose alone
- Sodium and potassium are key electrolytes which properly maintain hydration
- Taurine helps maintain heart and muscle performance during prolonged exercise which would otherwise lead to fatigue and decreased performance
- Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system and reduces pain perception leading to prolonged exercise, delayed fatigue and increased performance (Tropical Fruit and Lemon Lime flavors)
- Beta-Alanine supplements dietary beta-alanine to improve muscle buffering capacity and performance during intense efforts
- Branch Chain Amino Acids (leucine, valine, isoleucine) act as an additional fuel source, when taken with carbohydrates, to reduce muscle damage, enhance recovery and delay fatigue, all critical during intense or long efforts
- Histidine Amino Acid helps to promote buffer capacity of muscles

Marianna, FL---The Chipola basketball teams make it a clean sweep of Gulf Coast Tuesday night and are now a perfect 4-0 against their rivals from the south.
The Lady Indians beating the Lady Commodores Tuesday on the home floor 66-45. Chipola getting 17 from Rayven Brooks and hold Gulf Coast to just 25% shooting in the game. The win takes Chipola to 21-3, 6-2 in conference play, tied for idle Northwest Florida for first, and a game ahead of Gulf Coast which is now 20-4, 5-3.
Meanwhile in the men's game, Chipola began the game with an 11-2 run and never looked back, going on to win 92-69. Marianna alum Kruize Pinkins leading the way with 19 for the Indians, who move to 23-2, 6-2 in conference play, half a game behind first place Northwest, and now two games up on the Commodores who fall to 19-6, 4-4.
The attached video shows the following:
First half highlights here where Chipola was on fire... Mistor Thomas hits the 3... Indians start on an 11-2 run.
A bit later off the G.C. turnover, Torian Graham feeds Cinmeon Bowers for the throwdown. Indians trying to run away early.
Gulf Coast trying to stay in it, Chad Frazier hits the 3 pointer, but right back to the other end, another triple for Thomas and the lead was 14.

Ok, just in case you think we've been lazing by the pool since 5th July we thought you'd like to see our chicks. Just eggs over 4 weeks ago and hatched last week, they've kept us busy building a house for them when the heat has allowed. Not quite an earthship, but using as much reclaimed stuff as we could find.
Anyway enough of that, the weather is getting stormy and a bit cooler so we're hoping to be back to pounding soon. Watch this space....

1998 Buick LeSabre Questions
when the gauge shows 1/4 full; the Buick is actually out of gas.
When I am driving , the car is fine, but when you slow down and put on brakes to stop at an stop light it loses gas and battery goes down , to almost zero and then back to 13 or an little over. What can cause this?
Wondering if this could be the key and sensor problem. Have tried several other things and problem persists. Noticed that the ignition lock cylinder wires can break, but would it still crank and almost turn over?

No Lotus option for Sato
13 December 2009 – Takuma Sato's chances of grabbing a Lotus race seat for next season have been scuppered, according to his management. The Japanese driver, who is yet to return to Formula 1 since the demise of the Super Aguri team early in the 2008 season, had been tipped as a possible contender for a seat alongside Italy's Jarno Trulli.
With Lotus having revealed that its driver line-up will be confirmed on Monday, Pescara's Trulli is hot favourite for one drive due to his previous working relationships with team Technical Director Mike Gascoyne - indeed, the former Toyota driver has already been reported as having struck a 3-year deal with the Norfolk-based outfit.
Sato, on the other hand, had been listed as one of two strong contenders for the second seat, with ex McLaren man Heikki Kovalainen being the other. "We know Taku has not got Lotus, we found out yesterday," Mathew Winter, Commercial Manager for Sato, explained to Reuters. "He has now come off the list."
After testing for Toro Rosso last season, the Italian squad eventually elected to run Sébastien Buemi as a rookie in 2009 alongside Sébastien Bourdais, who was later replaced by Jaime Alguersuari. Winter admits that the Lotus decision is a surprising one.
"We don't know what the criteria was," he continued, recognising the team's Malaysian ownership. "We thought he was a very strong contender - you don't get more Asian than Taku. We haven't given up. There's still a few seats open and we're trying to hunt them down but his options are running out, so we don't know if he's going to be in Formula 1 next year."
