Tableau Review; More on Cheese Whiz, Justin Trosclair

QUARTER? The Advocate's Scott Gold reviews Tableau this week: "The menu's thoughtfulness is evident right down to the bread that began a recent meal at Tableau, made especially for the restaurant by Leidenheimer bakery, which involves a 50-hour fermentation process that produces a more defined crust and a tangy-flavored dough." [Advocate]

NOLA? The Advocate also reports on the not to be missed acts at this weekend's Essence Fest including Beyonce, LL Cool J, and Steve Harvey. [Advocate]
