James Beard Foundation Benefit Dinner

The original Brennan's, opened in 1946, recently emerged from an extensive renovation that spared no effort or expense by new co-ownersTerry WhiteandRalph Brennan.  Eight glamorous dining rooms, each steeped in New Orleans architecture and ambiance, celebrate the opulence of dining in a city where breakfast revelry is taken as seriously as a decadent dinner.Brennan's menus are rooted in Creole traditions and are bolstered with contemporary New Orleans influences. Marrying classic and modern techniques yields a decidedly innovative approach and enhances our local, seasonal offerings.
