A Rare Cullinary Collaboration
Arts lovers and foodies alike were in for a treat Oct. 11, as Nonna and Restaurant Cotton hosted “A Rare Culinary Collaboration,” a gathering of nine award-winning chefs from across the South. With chefs traveling from as far away as Montgomery, Houston and New Orleans, diners feasted on some of the best food prepared by the most celebrated names in food.
The event was held to benefit the Northeast Louisiana Arts Council and the Southern Foodways Alliance. Guests enjoyed cocktail creations and hors d’oeurves while rubbing elbows with the celebrity chefs at Nonna.
Following the Oct. 10 event, festivities moved to Restaurant Cotton, where a limited-seating event of sixty guests feasted on a five course dinner and premium wine pairings.
