Lisa Hendey & Chef Joey La Bella Join Us Around the Table
Chef Joey La Bella, executive chef on the Steamboat Natchez, and Lisa Hendey – founder of CatholicMom.com and CatholicTourist.com – join us on this edition of Around The Table Food Show, which originally aired on Friday, July 19, 2013.
The Steamboat Natchez Launches a Sunday Jazz Brunch
Following our recent conversation with Kitty Cleveland about New Orleans' brunch favorites and the local experience known as the Jazz Brunch, we invited Chef Joey La Bella to join us on the show to talk about the recent announcement of the new Sunday Jazz Brunch aboard the Steamboat Natchez, New Orleans' only steamboat.
"Welcome aboard the most unique blend of 'real New Orleans'. Combine a two hour cruise on the iconic Steamboat NATCHEZ with traditional live jazz by some of the most talented musicians of the genre- The Steamboat Stompers. For the crowning achievement, add a mouth-watering New Orleans Brunch. Brunch is a staple in New Orleans life – a time to enjoy food, music, and refreshing beverages with friends and family. Whether a visitor or local, you can 'pass a good time' at the Steamboat NATCHEZ Jazz Brunch." – from SteamboatNatchez.com

Catholic Mom Lisa Hendey Launches CatholicTourist.com
Lisa Hendey is probably best recognized as the founder and editor of CatholicMom.com. She is also the author of The Handbook for Catholic Moms and A Book of Saints for Catholic Moms.
Just a few months ago, Lisa launched a new project called CatholicTourist.com. Here's what she says about this new project on the website:
"As a Catholic who loves her faith and a frequent adventurer who’s always up for a new journey, I thought it would be fun to combine my two passions into a new blog. I’m a wife and mom, a writer, a speaker and an impassioned traveler. I hope to use this space to share new places I discover, to offer tips for destinations and simplifying the journey, to meet fellow pilgrims and most especially to share my faith."
Listen to the show below to hear Lisa talk about the inspiration behind CatholicTourist.com and what she sees for the future of the project.
