08/12/06 It's hard to believe that it has been nearly a year since Hurricane Katrina made landfall on the Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana coast. On today's show we'll see how the region is faring.

And you can't talk about the effect of Katrina without looking at the heart of New Orleans and its food culture. We'll hear from Executive Chef Tory McPhail about the re-opening of Commander's Palace.
