Bayou Nights: Creole vs Cajun with Chef Nicholas Saxon

Bayou Nights: An Authentic Louisiana Dinner Experience

A Chef's Dinner Demonstration with Chef Nicholas Saxon

Etoufee with me and the flavors of Louisiana, serving up the most authentic dishes prepared the way they were meant to be eaten!

Join Chef Nicholas Saxon for an unforgettable evening celebrating the rich flavors, colorful history, and unmistakable hospitality of Louisiana. Drawing from generations of Cajun and Creole culinary traditions, Chef Nick will prepare an authentic multi-course menu while sharing the stories, techniques, and cultural influences that make Louisiana one of America's greatest food destinations.

Watch as classic Southern favorites come to life—from rich, comforting Crawfish Étouffée and hearty New Orleans-style Jambalaya to perfectly seasoned Cajun Butter Steak, Louisiana Red Beans & Rice, and Creole Shrimp served over creamy, cheesy grits with a zesty remoulade. The evening finishes on a sweet note with warm Beignets topped with wild berries and the legendary Banana Foster, first created in New Orleans in 1951.
