Midnight Menu +1

Hosted ByRay Cannata & Margo Moss

Ray Cannata has eaten at over 750 New Orleans restaurants, so he knows a thing or two about hanging out. Margo Moss has turned Ted's Frostop from a greasy spoon into a considerably less greasy but not quite silver spoon. When the sun goes down on The NOLA Brewing Tap Room in the Irish Channel, Ray and Margo entertain members of New Orleans restaurant community. Their guests bring along a friend, a +1. Anything can happen.

Mondo Loco Tocco – Midnight Menu +1 – It’s New Orleans

Welcome to the amazing crazy world of Tony Tocco, circling the Earth at 5x the speed of life.

tony tocco

Ray accurately describes Tony as having an influence on more hip New Orleans places than almost anybody in town. Tony was on the floor the night Bayona opened, spent a decade at Gautreau’s, was the co-founder of Snake and Jake’s Xmas Club Lounge, The Circle Bar, and his current super success, Atchafalya.

Tony’s plus one, David “Feel No” Payne, has an equally storied NOLA dining pedigree spanning Bayona, NOLA, Galataoire’s, among a laundry list of other notable eateries.

Tony and Feel No are equally matched sides of the same coin, their most stark difference being Feel No still has a flip phone and Tony is the creator of a groundbreaking app, Specialus. Specialus allows chefs and restaurateurs to get around the filter of dining review apps, like Yelp, and talk directly to customers. Chefs or servers make a short video showcasing the restaurant’s nightly special and showing a hand-held phone sweep around the restaurant so diners get to see the food and the space for themselves, without having to wade through a hundred amateur reviewers’ opinions.

Margo is out of town on the beach in Bali. Her tan will fade but she’ll never get over missing this classic edition of Midnight Menu +1.
