2006

The John Folse Culinary Institute and the Bayou Chapter of the Louisiana Restaurant Association hosted the Flavors of the Bayou Wine Dinner on Oct. 3, 2006, at Cypress Columns in Gray, La. Proceeds from the fund-raiser directly benefited the culinary institute and provided educational opportunities for aspiring chefs through the Louisiana Restaurant Association Education Foundation.

The night consisted of food, music, wine and memories of life in the restaurant business and how it changed after Hurricane Katrina, as told by Dickie Brennan, owner of Bourbon House, Dickie Brennan’s Steakhouse and the Palace Cafe.
