You're listed to Beyond Bourbon Street, an insider's guide to New Orleans.

Beyond Bourbon Street is the podcast where we explore the food,

music, culture, places, and people that make New Orleans unique. Whether you are planning a trip,

living in New Orleans, or simply wanting a taste of the Crescent City from wherever you are, you've come to the right place.

And now, your host, Mark Bologna.

Hey, all, this is Mark.

Welcome to episode 85.

The last show was all about Marty Grom.

Specifically, I was joined by a former

King of Carnival, Dr Stephen Hales. We discussed the Rex Parade and its impact on

Mardi Gras and more broadly on the City of New Orleans as a whole. It was a fun glimpse behind the scenes of the

oldest parading organization in New Orleans. If you missed it, go back and give it a listen.

Then start planning your visit for next Mardi Gras. Today's episode is about bread or should I say

one man's passion about bread and changing the way we think about it. He's the

founder of Belguard Bakery here in New Orleans and if you love bread you won't want to miss it.

It'll change the way you think about that bag of flour sitting in your pantry.

But before we jump into the discussion a word from our sponsors.

All visits to New Orleans of course start with figuring out where to stay.

Let us help you by recommending the old 77 hotel.

It's in a great location in the warehouse district, just three blocks from the French Quarter. It's close to a lot of great places to eat and drink,

and it's near the streetcar lines, too.

I also love that they have a great seasonal art exhibit that's free.
