Kim Ranjbar’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

Though she was born in the San Francisco Bay Area, Kim Ranjbar felt New Orleans calling her home as soon as she hit puberty. A graduate of granola U (a.k.a. Sonoma State University), Kim took her passion for the written word and dragged it over 2000 miles to flourish in the city she loves.

After 20 years as a transplant — surviving hurricanes, levee failures, oil spills, boil water advisories and hipster invasions — Kim hopes to eventually earn the status of local and be welcomed into the fold.

How To Reheat Fried Fish In An Air Fryer

Whether it's pan-fried potato chip-crusted cod or a beer-battered Baja fish taco bowl, fried fish possesses that unique combination of an irresistibly crispy crust and flaky, moist interior. While many people adore this coastal treat, fried fish is sadly ephemeral. It's a dish to be enjoyed while standing on a dock in Half Moon Bay, California or a seaside resort in Brighton, England.

Bites & Backstories: Executive Chef Corey Thomas Writes His Own Chapter at Restaurant August

Thomas is proud of the ever-evolving tasting menu at Restaurant August, one inspired by local cuisine, yet presented from a different point of view. “A lot of people who eat here have a shared story of Louisiana cuisine. How do we elevate it to feel like something different, while still being a nod to our childhood?” New Orleans loves its BBQ shrimp, a dish originally created at Uptown restaurant Pascale’s Manale in the mid 50s.
