Cook-off for the Coast

It's a good day to visit Docville Farm—word is there will be up to eighteen cooking teams, striving to deliver the most decadent of wild game delicacies. Free and open to the public, the cook off will proffer countless bites (for free!), a cash bar, and live music by Louisiana's Soul Creole. Each year the cook off benefits coastal restoration projects supported by local schools and organizations. Last year, the proceeds of almost $10,000 were distributed between Chalmette High School and Nunez Community College to fund their joint projects, the St. Bernard Parish 4H Black Mangrove Program and the Chandeleur Sound Living Shoreline Program, which will receive all of the funds from this year's event. 11 am–3 pm. coastcookoff.com.
