NEW ORLEANS – August is the Coolinary New Orleans Restaurant Month which means discount deals at dozens of local restaurants! Today, we’re heading to the famous Commander’s Palace where Executive Chef Tory McPhail gives us his number one tip for coolinary.
Chef Tory says his number one tip is to menu shop! “Go online and really kind of menu shop 113 different restaurants, across the greater New Orleans area.”
As for what Commander’s Palace is offering, the restaurant is always hyper-seasonal, so you can expect lot’s of fresh summery ingredients. “It’s hot outside. It’s beautiful weather we’ve got going on, these are just great dishes that really represent summertime in New Orleans and we’re proud to offer them at a great value to all of our guests.”
While the food is always great at Commander’s, this time of the year, the price is just right. “It’s a fantastic deal. It’s 2 courses for lunch, Who can beat that? For lunch and dinner, it’s only $39 or less. So just sit back and enjoy some great southern hospitality for the entire month of August.”
