We don’t usually post this kind of thing, but Editor in Chief Russ Baker was in New Orleans and caught video footage of the typical New Orleans style funeral procession for “Chef Paul” Prudhomme and thought our readers might appreciate it.

WhoWhatWhy Editor in Chief Russ Baker is currently in New Orleans.

What follows are three videos Russ shot of the classic New Orleans funeral procession for Prudhomme. They capture the affection for Prudhomme and the spirit of the place. They are short and unedited.
