Last season, you may remember the local documentary called Dirty Dogs. The director, Ty Turner sat down and blew our mind! A 50 year old ordinance in New Orleans had allowed the local staple, Lucky Dogs the exclusive vendor inside the French Quarter.
For HALF A CENTURY, this push cart brand has essentially had a monopoly in one of the oldest neighborhoods in America.
Not anymore.
This season, I wanted to revisit this story and hopefully get some closure to this wild tale of hypocrisy and good ole boy strongholds.
After many emails, calls and conversations with different members of New Orleans City Council and their team, it seemed to me that there was significant traction being made!
Today, I am super excited to welcome back to the show, the same documentary-
Dirty Dogs, but this time the Producer and Cinematographer, Adrian Sosebee lets us all know what the last year has been like and just what this project means to other passionate, local businesses that are now allowed to work in this historic neighborhood, the Iconic French Quarter!
Adrian has been apart of this project from the very beginning and it is awesome to see results! Especially coming from the South, where change usually takes an excruciatingly long time to happen.
Adrian Sosebee also owns his own production business called Solid Ice Media.
He has even taken over editing our show, Unscripted- a NolaPapa Podcast! He is everywhere and take it for me- He is good at what he does!
Find him at www.SolidIceMedia.com
Did you hear that? It's the lemonade man!
Later, we welcome one of the new push cart vendors that is NOW ALLOWED in the French Quarter! Topher Patch, owner of his own pushcart, Meyer's Frozen Lemonaid joins me to talk about what it has been like to have his ambitions to create such a deliciously NEEDED treat to sip on in the heat of the French Quarter.
My family and I have personally tried Topher's own recipes and my friends, this cat knows what he is doing! From the ground up he thought out his business plan to not only serve a uniquely yummy treat, but also make his customers smile. And this man can and absolutely did that for me and my family.
He knew what he wanted to do and went for it. During LOCK DOWN! Fear need not for Meyer's Lemonade. Listen to this interview and you will find out.
