On Oct. 14, the event will culminate in a live-streamed “grand finale” in conjunction with Commander’s Palace’s wine and cheese Zoom classes.

Among the highest on that list are andouille and sausage-making. Recently, I spoke with Chefs John Besh, Donald Link, and Wayne Schexnayder of Acadian Foods about German influences on our cuisine and their family traditions of making that most important of local sausages, andouille.

Gumbo lovers can get their fill

From the TImes Picayune; it's a great weekend for gumbo lovers:

"Gumbo lovers can get their fill this weekend as three fall festivals kick into high gear, setting heat to giant pots of protein-rich gumbo across south Louisiana. Three festivals -- the World Championship Gumbo Cookoff in New Iberia, the Bridge City Gumbo Festival and the Louisiana Gumbo Festival in Chackbay -- dedicate Oct. 12, 13 and 14 to celebrating this delicious cultural icon, meaning ambitious festival-goers could hit a different gumbo-themed event each day of the weekend to taste a range of recipes."

To find out more about each event see our Louisiana events list here.
