That's what's made this successful. People have stepped forward and done a real good job giving us the support. That's very good, and hopefully we can keep the town enthused.

We started to see a groundswell of support. People were giving and giving and giving.

It would be difficult for us during a period when we may need public support ourselves to be promoting another bond issue. I'd say at best it would require a lot of thinking.

In some small way, I'm doing my part on behalf of those people who lost everything. I am giving back by doing something I can do, which is cook New Orleans food like no one else.

We are giving the families all the support we can.

It's overwhelming. You have this situation where everyone is giving so much support. I have always worked for everything. I'd give it all back and then some to have to not go through this.
