My family and LSU football.

What don’t you miss about it?

The traffic.

What does New York have that you wish Baton Rouge had?

Yankees baseball and Henri Bendel—the best department store ever.

What’s essential when you come back to visit?

Quality time with my family, dinner at Ruffino’s with my friends and the tasty treat of Calvin’s chicken salad.

When were you in town last and what did you do while here?

I’m in Baton Rouge at least two times a month. My last visit was for my stepdad’s birthday and to watch the Tigers play Ole Miss.
