Hundreds of chefs, foodies and wine-lovers — some all the way from Switzerland — flocked to the New Orleans Wine & Food Experience last week to discover new culinary trends, sample Louisiana dishes and swirl the latest from Napa Valley. Celebrity guests included Dickie Brennan, Chef John Besh and Leah Cohen from Season 5 of Top Chef. Galatoire’s Bistro chef Nathan Gresham took second place at the King of Louisiana Seafood competition at last weekend’s New Orleans Wine & Food Experience — just behind Tory McPhail of Commander’s Palace. 225 Dine takes you on an NOWFE journey from the Royal Street Stroll to the Grand Tasting at the Superdome with a two multimedia slideshows.
Also in this week’s 225 Dine, Sammy’s Grill opens its third location in Central, the Shaw Center plans Tuesdays on the Terrace for downtown professionals, and Abita Brewery will soon stock shelves with its latest flavor, Satsuma Harvest Wit. And find out which menu items have BRAC’s Adam Knapp obsessed. Click for this week’s 225 Dine here.
