New Orleans music venue serves meals to residents without power

New Orleans is no stranger to disasters. But that means the "Big Easy" already knows that the soul of the city comes from the heart of its people.

"We take care of each other, I think, in a way nobody else does," said Howie Kaplan. Kaplan owns The Howlin' Wolf, a venue known for bringing people together through music.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Ida, which left more than a million people without power, they're using food to accomplish the same goal.

Kaplan said it's not just the venue's chefs who are pitching in to cook. "These are managers, they are cooks, they are busboys. These are everybody," he said. "We've got folks working from about 20 different restaurants over the last few days."
