“I’m so proud to be honoring all the nominees from Louisiana and serve as an ambassador of my state at this annual brunch,” said Chef Bahr, who opened his own restaurant, Cotton, last year in Monroe Louisiana. “My motivation for cooking for this great event is to share some of the wonderful Louisiana cuisine and showcase our abundant variety of seafood.”
