Clint Durrett

Hi. I’m Clint.
I’m the Local Market Manager for Very Local New Orleans. I’ve lived in New Orleans since 2001 and been living my best life in this rad place since that year.
I have 10 years of broadcast journalism and digital media experience. Before Very Local New Orleans, I worked for WDSU-TV – producing, product developing, digital media managing– I’ve done it all. I’ve seen first-hand the trials we’ve suffered in this city and the celebrations we’ve enjoyed. I love New Orleans. It’s home.
I’m going to work my hardest to bring you the content and experiences you care about to live your best life here in one of the best cities on the planet.
I love finding things to do here – concerts, food, drinks, nerding out, etc. And I love sharing those things with others.
Contact me via email. Gimme a shout on social. If you see something you think we should know about, hit me up. If you see something that needs fixing on the site, ditto. I want this website to be yours, too. Not just one I manage, but one we as a community and New Orleanians use to help us live our best lives.

Get Your Eating Pants Ready

By Clint Durrett / November 8, 2018

This week, we all got to the polls and now we can ALL celebrate the end of political ad season. Perhaps one of the more talked about snafus in Louisiana for election day was the lack of stickers. We were just as shocked as you. But we saw creative substitutes, and some businesses offered a free beer for election day by just taking you at your word. But we’ve had our fill of politics for the week, and our stomachs are empty and ready to be filled with ballots of boudin, po-boys and unlimited draaanks. Get your eating pants ready because you’ll need the stretchy comfort to fully enjoy the weekend ahead.
