The Louisiana Seafood Promotion & Marketing Board (LSPMB) and
NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association) present the Fifth
Annual Great American Seafood Cook-Off Aug July 18-19 at the New Orleans
Morial Convention Center within the Louisiana Foodservice EXPO and the
Gulf Coast Seafood Pavilion. The annual two-day contest provides chefs a tense, one-hour slot in which to prepare their best seafood dish for a panel of persnickety industry judges. A show about the contest will be aired on the Food Network later this year.
One of America’s most prestigious
culinary competitions, one chef and one state will walk away with the
title of King of American Seafood. Governor Jindal issued the
challenge for states to send us their best chef and most delicious
domestic sustainable seafood. Just by making it to the big show,
fourteen chefs have already proven their merit.
