Before Hurricane Katrina came to
New Orleans, John Besh was simply a
good chef with a fancy restaurant
that had a habit of making top 10
lists around the country After the
storm, he became known as the
ex-Marine who rode into the flooded
city with a gun, a boat and a bag
of beans and fed New Orleans until
it could feed itself This is his
take on a classic New Orleans dish
of long-simmered medallions of meat
in a thick gravy, served over
grits, and it is totally and
completely delicious
