Creole & Acadian Carnival: A Mardi Gras Dinner

$45/dinner
Special Dinner #85

This special dinner event is SOLD OUT!

New Orleans is a cross-roads of culinary heritages, including French, Acadian, Spanish, Caribbean, West African, Italian,

Northern European, Native American and other influences. Traditional French cooking methods and dishes brought to New Orleans by Acadian transplants created a new, synergized cuisine when it combined with native cooking styles and ingredients.

James Beard-nominated Chef Alex Young will prepare a traditional Creole and Acadian dinner that reflects the melding of tradition and ingredients into a flavorful tradition of its own.
