Brandon Naquin of Spahr’s Seafood
“It is a great honor to be selected one of the 12 chefs to compete in the Louisiana seafood cook-off. I was chosen one of over 175 great chefs throughout Louisiana. I am proud to represent Thibodaux, a small town situated in the heart of Louisiana’s Cajun Bayou. I have the privilege to showcase fresh sustainable seafood Louisiana,” Chef Naquin shared. “As chefs, we look for the freshest and best ingredients to make our dishes. In my opinion, Louisiana has the very best seafood. From crawfish to catfish, from catfish to different gulf fish; we have it all. At Spahrs, we only source sustainable seafood. We are passionate about that. So much so we opened 3 Piers Seafood Market last year to showcase what Louisiana and the gulf has to offer.”
At the festival attendees will be treated to an array of delectable dishes prepared by talented Louisiana chefs. From tantalizing flavors to innovative culinary techniques, each chef will bring their distinct touch to the event. Complementing the culinary delights will be beverages provided by local partners, ensuring a satisfying experience for connoisseurs and casual food enthusiasts alike.
