Chef Scott Varnedoe from Baton Rouge's Restaurant IPO cooked at the
James Beard House in New York City on Wednesday, March 26th. I'd like to congratulate him on the accomplishment of cooking there for the fourth time! Baton Rouge locals are proud of our food scene, and it shows! From hands-on activities to James Beard recognized chefs, a new walking food tour, cooking schools and new restaurants joining the ranks of old favorites, Baton Rouge is making a name for itself in the culinary world. Chef sang the praises of
Visit Baton Rouge and
Louisiana Seafood in the Big Apple and before his big trip, Chef Varnedoe hosted a preview dinner of his James Beard House menu. It was quite the feast--the weather was perfect, and the wines and
Tin Roof beers were deliciously paired! Check out the menu that he served in New York!
