Saturday Evening Event
The Best of Galatoire’s and Presentation
of the Jeunes Commis
Founded in 1905 by Jean Galatoire, this infamous
address distinguished itself on Bourbon St. from its
humble beginning. From the small village of Pardies,
France, Jean Galatoire brought recipes and traditions
inspired by the familial dining style of his homeland
to create the menu and ambiance of the internationally renowned restaurant. In its fifth
generation, it is the Galatoire family and descendants who have carried the tradition of
New Orleans’ fine dining restaurants and influenced its evolution. David Gooch, the
manager of Galatoire’s, is Vice Chargé de Missions of the New Orleans Bailliage.
The contestants in the Young Chef’s competition will be guests of the Southwest
Province this evening. Preceding the dinner, we will have Champagne as we gather,
along with hand passed hors d’oeuvres. Culinaire Provincial Leslie Bartosh will announce
the results of our annual Jeune Commis (Young Chefs) competition. When seated in the
Balcony Room, we will be treated to a dinner starting with Galatoire Grand Goute and
followed by a sautéed gulf fish with crabmeat Meuniere. No authentic New Orleans
meal would be complete without a soup and we will have a duck and andouille gumbo.
The main course is a Filet Bearnaise. Of course, each course will be accompanied by
relevant side dishes and wines expertly paired to complement the course.
Time: 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM
Cost: $200 per person
