The sixth Only in Louisiana pre-Grammy brunch celebrates the state’s rich food and music offerings with plenty of both
Attendees feasted on crawfish remoulade, sipped Abita root beer and listened to the funny anecdotes of country star Kix Brooks during the Only in Louisiana brunch Saturday, a pre-Grammy party at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion downtown.
Crab cakes, catfish courtboullion and bacon pecan pralines prepared by Monroe, La., chef Cory Bahr sold the audience on the charms of Lousiana, as did an enthusiastic culture-themed sales pitch from Lt. Governor Jay Dardenne.
It’s the sixth year Louisiana has staged the event. Why don’t 49 other states do the same?
“Louisiana has had such a rich history of Grammy nominees and winners,” says Dardenne, who is spearheading a nationwide ad campaign to lure visitors to the state’s bounty of fine food and music. “Food and music go together in Louisiana. Where there’s music, there’s good food. Where there’s food, you’ll hear great music.”
