What happens when you bring together incredibly talented chefs, a packed dining room, and a little New Orleans spirit?

A pretty incredible night!! 🎊

Thank you to everyone who joined us for A Taste of New Orleans last night. We had a packed house with over 50 guests! It was so much fun seeing our community come together to experience something a little different on the lake!

A special thank you to Chef Gason Nelson for making the trip from New Orleans, and to Chef Rogger, Chef Jesse, and the entire Drift team for helping bring the evening to life.

It was one for the books!
