A cocktail hour kicked off a special dinner for Jennifer Adcock and seven of her lucky guests, who were wined and dined with shrimp, frog legs, figs and other seasonal Louisiana delights Aug. 1 at E’s Kitchen in Parc Lafayette. Hundreds entered for a place at Lafayette’s most delicious dining event, featuring the culinary mind-meld of seven innovative Acadiana chefs, as part of The Independent’s annual promotional contest in partnership with the EatLafayette campaign. Featured chefs included Indulge pastry chef Tuesday Sunshine, Charley G’s executive chef Holly Goetting, Mortar and Pestle owner/chef Hannah Ellaham, Saint Street Inn chef Ashley Roussel, Dark Roux owner/chef Ryan Trahan, Social Southern Table and Bar chef de cuisine Kyle Waters III and E’s owner/host Paul Ayo. Adcock also received a commemorative poster signed by the chefs and the opportunity to watch some of Acadiana’s top chefs in action. Wine pairings were provided by Schilling Distributing.
