Class Description
Tonight we invite you to join Executive Chef Richard McPeake for a journey through Bourbon Street's exquisite culinary culture. Tonight's menu is a Cajun and Creole focused adventure. Your guide is longtime instructor Chef Richard McPeake. Chef Richard is the Retired Lead Chef Instructor of Kansas City Kansas Community College Culinary Center Chef Instructor for 20 years and a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America. He has won countless awards throughout his career including 14 Travel Holiday Awards and 2 Four Diamond Awards for Food Excellence.

Along with learning how to make our selected New Orleans themed dishes, Chef Richard is going to go in depth on a variety of cooking methods used for these recipes. This includes how to make the famous dark roux in gumbo and how to simmer and infuse rice. Once you nail down these steps your gumbo-making skills will be at pro-level! We are starting with a Chicken and Sausage Gumbo- a staple of any New Orleans themed meal. You're even learning to make your own stock! Next we have Corn a l’Acadien, a cajun corn sausage saute of peppers, onions, andouille sausage mixed with Richard's own Creole seasoning mix.

Next up, we are doing a Cajun mixed grill of blackened beef medallions and seared blackened salmon. Chef Richard will teach you the secrets behind the proper blackened cooking method. We couldn't host a New Orleans style cooking class without ending on a sweet note- tonight's dessert is Flambe Bananas Foster. This is an absolute crowd pleaser and a sight to behold when the rum ignites.

Don't forget to try our featured cocktail of the evening: a classic New Orleans Hurricane. Purchasable from our bar.

Laissez les bons temps rouler!
