Restaurateur, entrepreneur, and author Ti Adelaide Martin is a vocal advocate for genuine hospitality in business, her city of New Orleans, and various causes close to her heart. Recently, Martin dedicated herself to celebrating the 125th anniversary of Commander's Palace, hosting The American Cuisine and Hospitality Symposium alongside her family. Expressing her deepest passion for restaurants, Martin credits her mother, Ella Brennan, for igniting this love. A dream came true when she co-authored this book with her mother, Miss Ella of Commander's Palace. As co-proprietor of Commander's Palace since 1997 with her cousin Lally Brennan, Martin takes pride in the restaurant's future. She emphasizes that while they hold the keys to Commander's, the restaurant truly belongs to New Orleans. Across all her ventures, Martin strives to exceed expectations, representing not just the food but also the way of life, soul, and spirit that define New Orleans. Trained at the Culinary Institute of America, Jamie Shannon has been at Commander’s Palace for sixteen years, and the executive chef for eleven.
