On June 27, the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board will be traveling to The Harbor Center in Slidell, a new location for the annual Louisiana Seafood Cook-Off. One of the most esteemed culinary competitions in the country, the Cook-Off draws together the state’s most inspired seafood chefs (of which there are many) to compete for the crown. The winner then goes on to represent the state at the Great American Seafood Cook-Off, while garnering red carpet-level fame within the industry that has frequently led to success in the form of new restaurants, television shows, and other opportunities. Previous winners include: Chase Woodard, Owen Hohl, Amanda Cusey, Tory McPhail, and more.
