Description
He wasn’t just a reporter — he was New Orleans. This Frank Davis supercut pulls together some of his most unforgettable WWL-TV moments: the laughs, the food, the dialect and the people that make this city home.
What’s inside:
-Jazzland chase & one-liners — “I’m not Frank Davis!” and a hard pass on the “sonic slam”
-“Virgin basket” debate in the grocery lot -Signs you can hear — "Ponchtrain"/Pontchartrain, “bonless chicken,” and that classic NOLA spelling energy
-Snowball history — from the 1936 Snow Wizard to today’s fluffy ice (and how to eat a snowball)
-Creole tomato sandwich — white bread, mayo, thick slice, salt & pepper… that’s it.
-Mr. Okra — the rolling produce legend and his citywide route
-Fourth of July sidewalk trivia — Sousa, hot dogs, and big smiles 🇺🇸
Frank’s voice and curiosity stitched together daily life in New Orleans — from the midway to the market, from kitchen counters to corner streets. Share this with someone who loved Frank, or introduce him to a new generation discovering why he’s a Louisiana original.
