Fête Rouge, the annual two-day event highlighting local chefs and food industry leaders, is right around the corner and tickets are on sale.
The 9th Annual Grace “Mama” Marino Lifetime Achievement Dinner at L’Auberge Casino & Hotel is set to take place on Thursday, Aug. 27. This year’s event will honor Robert “Bobby” Yarborough, CEO of Manda Meats. Each year, a handful of local chefs design each course paired with a carefully selected fine wine.
The 2015 edition includes plenty of familiar faces from local restaurants and catering services, such as chef Jeremy Langlois, who recently joined Ruffino’s Restaurant; chefs Cody and Samantha Carroll of Sac-a-Lait, who are cooking at the James Beard House in October; and chef Matthew Reed of Reed’s Cakes & Catering, who took home Best in Show for his dessert at last year’s Fête Rouge.
The team behind the event recently offered 225 Dine an early peek at the hefty menu for its awards dinner, which you can check out in full. On Friday, Aug. 28, the Food & Wine Fête featuring the Fête Rouge Chefs Competition will also be held at L’Auberge from 7 to 10 p.m.
Tickets for the awards dinner, which will take place from 6 to 10 p.m., are $200 per person and $1,600 for a table of eight. Tickets for the Food & Wine Fête are $75 per person, with VIP wine tasting tickets available for $200. Get your tickets online.
