Inspired by the rich tapestry of creole cuisine and jazz music venues in his native New Orleans, Ron Rudison spent many years touring cities throughout the South and Mid-Atlantic. He gathered a vast storehouse of information by interviewing music venue and restaurant entrepreneurs as well as members of their surrounding communities. He explored cities from as far south as Miami, FL, west to Houston, TX and as far north as Washington DC. Having done so, Rudison provides a unique insight on where to experience exquisite downhome cooking and incredible blues and jazz music.
He is no stranger to music. His father, Raymond Dorest, was a jazz pianist in New Orleans during the late 1930s to mid 1960s. Rudison also has been active as a "down home" bass singer of gospel music in his church choir and bass guitarist. Having traveled all over the Pacific, Europe and Asia, his tastes for quality cuisine have been shaped immensely, ever evolving as a connoisseur.view less
