Question 1

Are Kids Allowed?

Accepted Answer

Kids are allowed but not encouraged. There are no “kid tickets”. The Chef Showcase are adult forward events with many couples and groups of adults. We recommend getting a babysitter and bringing the kids to our more family-friendly Brunch Market events or Goat Yoga.

Question 2

Are Dogs Allowed?

Accepted Answer

We love dogs but they are not allowed to the Chef Showcase events. They ae welcome to our family-friendly Brunch Market events.

Question 3

Is there Parking?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is a parking lot behind us on Clio St as well as ample street parking.

Question 4

What’s on the Menu?

Accepted Answer

Each star-studded cast of chefs loves cooking at Paradigm Gardens, interacting with patrons and putting on a show over the wood-fire oven and grill. Unlike at their restaurants, the chefs are not confined by the narrow constraints of their menus, embracing the opportunity to be wonderfully creative.

Question 5

Are there vegetarian, vegan, and/or gluten-free options?

Accepted Answer

Historically, all menus have had multiple vegetarian, vegan, and/or gluten-free options (however we put no restrictions on the chefs in order to foster creativity and so can never guarantee what the menu will be until it is released the week before).

Question 6

When is the menu released?

Accepted Answer

We release the menu the week leading up to the Chef Showcase in our newsletter and Instagram.

Question 7

What about Alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Mixed drinks (rum and vodka), local craft beer are also included in your ticket price. For the Chef Showcase (and only for these events) you are also allowed to BYOB. You MUST BE 21+ to drink.

Question 8

What should I Wear?

Accepted Answer

Paradigm Gardens is an outside garden, dress accordingly. There are many brick walking paths but there is also grass so high heels are not recommended. Generally, people dress polished-casual, but it is New Orleans after all, so come as the spirit guides you (formal attire, casual, or in costume!)

Question 9

What is the Difference Between the Two Entry Times?

Accepted Answer

Staggered entry times to ensure line runs smoothly and there is very limited wait time. Music starts for 7:15pm and there is always ample food, so you won’t miss any of the show or deliciousness. Make sure to check your ticket time before you arrive (we are very strict about entry time)
