The sixth annual “Best Chefs of Louisiana” awards will be held on April 12, 2016 at the restored Art Deco jewel that is the Lakefront Airport. This year’s event, which is open to the public, will dedicate funds to two projects that are very dear to one of their founders, Chef Paul Prudhomme. The first is to fund educational opportunities for the underprivileged with culinary scholarships and the second is to care for the homeless through the New Orleans Mission.
That night, the Prudhomme family will accept the Lifetime Achievement Award for the humble man who changed the food world in wonderful ways from the men and women who carry on his tradition today. Chef legends to be honored include Frank Brigtsen (Brigtsen’s), Susan Spicer (Bayona, Mondo & Rosedale), Paul Miller (K-Paul’s), James Wong (Tres Yuen), John Folse (R’evolution), Phillip Lopez (Root, Square Root, & Root Squared), and Holly Goetting (Charlie G’s Lafayette). Over 30 chefs will serve their signature dishes with complementary beverages from Moet-Hennesy and NOLA Brewing Company among others. Live music from the renowned band, Louisiana Spice.
Tickets are available at 504-559-7485 or online at www.acfno.org.
