When I heard that the historic New Orleans restaurant Pascal’s Manale had been sold, I thought about a photo I made years ago of restaurant employee Edmond Montair. He was seated in front of an entire wall of photos of the famous and infamous who dined there through the generations. While we remember the notable clients and owners, I like to think about the generations of workers who kept the machine running, the bonds they formed, the fun they had, and the money they made. I hope that the new owners keep the tradition alive.
