Just Two Weeks Left In NOLA Contest

We’re heading into the home stretch. There are two tickets up for grabs for my first culinary tour, taking place March 8 – 11 in New Orleans. We’ve got 22 people signed up (it’s sold out) and two of those slots could be yours. The fine folks at Raved  (the app) have purchased two of those seats. All you need to do is download the free app, then rave places you think are great, and adding a good tip or a nice pic wouldn’t hurt. On February 9th, we’re going to choose a winner, and they’ll be notified on February 13th. All you’ll have to do is get to New Orleans, and everything else will be taken care of. By everything, I mean a couple of cocktail classes (Swizzle Stick, SoBou), a cooking class from one of John Besh’s chefs, a jazz brunch at Commander’s Palace, a cocktail session at Cure, a meet-and-greet with a special guest, dinner at Cochon, dinner at Casamento’s, lunch at Galatoire’s, beignets and cafe au lair at Cafe du Monde and an only-with-Steve experience, at a plantation 45 minutes outside of town, where we’ll get a boat tour of the river delta, followed by a traditional cookout featuring jambalaya, crawfish and plenty of Dixies or Abitas. This is truly a magnificent introduction to the foodways of New Orleans, and it can be yours, if you just start adding a “#raveNOLA” to all of your posts. Good luck!
