Description:
Buster Holmes Handmade Cookin’
By Buster Holmes
PUB DATE: Fall 2010
From 1944 to 1994, Buster Holmes cooked up classic Creole food in the New Orleans restaurant bearing his name. The restaurant, integral to the music and culture fostered in the French Quarter, offered its famous red beans and rice alongside shrimp, gumbo, and such local game as squirrel, possum, and nutria. Guests were willing to travel far and wide to enjoy unlimited servings. Now, although the restaurant has long been closed, fans hungry for a soulful meal can bring Holmes’ flavors into their kitchens.
Over the decades, Holmes’ restaurant catered to local jazz musicians and off-duty waiters who gathered in the area. Yet, as its reputation grew and the restaurant hosted notable guests, including Louis Armstrong and Woody Allen, Holmes’ fare maintained its quality and flavor. His dedication to providing rich, authentic cuisine translates onto the pages of his cookbook, which outlines the preparation for his savory staples as well as the pies, puddings, and cakes he offered for dessert. Alongside recipes ranging from red beans and rice to fried chicken and sweet potato pie, Buster Holmes Handmade Cookin’ features historic photographs, facts, and anecdotes about the restaurant and its beloved owner.
