Cook-Off for the Coast

The seventh annual Cook-Off for the Coast offers free family-friendly fun at Docville Farm in St. Bernard Parish. The event – co-hosted by Restore the Mississippi River Delta, Vanishing Paradise and the Meraux Foundation – raises awareness about coastal restoration by celebrating the bounty and cuisine of southeast Louisiana. Local cook teams will compete by preparing dishes featuring the abundance of Louisiana’s coastal wetlands, including seafood and wild game, and serve free samples to the public. A panel of judges, including local chefs and community leaders, will rate the entries on taste, originality and presentation.
