🎷 Big Easy Bash: A New Orleans Cooking Party! 🎭🍤
An unforgettable night of bold flavors, hands-on fun, and Southern charm!
Laissez les bon temps rouler—let the good times roll in the heart of Knoxville as we turn up the heat and turn your kitchen dreams into a Cajun celebration! Join the incredible Chef John Alunni for a vibrant, interactive culinary adventure that brings the soulful spirit of New Orleans straight to your plate. This isn’t just a cooking class—it’s a flavor-packed party where you’ll laugh, learn, and indulge in some of the Big Easy’s most iconic dishes.
As jazz fills the air and the aroma of spices sizzles from the kitchen, you’ll sip on a refreshing Mint Julep and dive into a hands-on menu that celebrates the magic of Louisiana’s rich food culture. 🎶✨
🍽️ On the Menu:
🔥 Chef’s Signature Seafood Gumbo + Jasmine Rice
A deep, delicious pot of Cajun comfort! Loaded with tender shrimp, crab, and smoky andouille sausage in a dark, rich roux—served with fluffy jasmine rice to soak up every savory bite.
🍤 Chef John’s Award Winning New Orleans BBQ Shrimp & Creamy Grits
Big, juicy shrimp smothered in a spicy, buttery BBQ sauce and nestled atop smooth, cheesy grits. It’s indulgent, it’s fiery, and it’s oh-so-satisfying.
🥖 Handmade French Baguettes
Crispy on the outside, soft and warm on the inside—these golden beauties are baked from scratch and perfect for dipping, scooping, or devouring on their own.
🍩 Pillow-Soft Beignets
Finish with the ultimate New Orleans treat! Hot, fluffy, and generously dusted with powdered sugar—these iconic pastries will transport you straight to the French Quarter.
🍹 Drink Special: Mint Julep
A cool, minty breeze in a glass! This Southern classic is the perfect sipper while you cook, mingle, and celebrate.
