Over the course of three days, 27 top chefs from around the South took to the stage to demonstrate how to produce easy, tasty dishes using fresh, delicious, Louisiana and Gulf seafood.

Comments

some of my greatest memiores of the kids growing up were cooking together and some of the food fights we got into boy were they messy but we all remember them and laugh and i wouldn't change it for the cleanest house in the world. Someone once told me do you want your kids to remember a clean house or fun times with their mom. It was the greatest advice ever as we made messes and cleaned them up together or I happily cleaned them up on my own knowing I had just built something wonderful. Cooking with your kids (and hopefully I will have grandkids soon) is such a great joy! Great video post! looking forward to more from you.
