Radio Special Today! Today on The Food Show, I will give away two certificates good for $75 each for dining at either Galatoire's or Galatoire's 33 Bar & Steak. One of the contests will require you to have a Ciao Number, which you can get for free by calling me on the air between noon and three with a food report or food question: 260-6368. (You can't get a Ciao Number by email or text messaging.) That rich giveaway makes it a good day to listen to my program, which Gambit has just said is the Number One Talk Radio Show in New Orleans. It's on 1350 AM and on HD2 at 105.3 FM.
