Chefs to watch 2006

Each year, Louisiana Cookin' magazine publishes a feature announcing five Louisiana Chefs to Watch in our August issue. The honorees are carefully selected through nominations by restaurant industry leaders and follow-up "secret shoppers" dinners. These chefs then cook a gourmet, five course benefit dinner, paired with wines, donating their time and their cuisine.
