Louisiana native and Food Network Star’s Jay Ducote has been invited to cook an LSU Tailgate Party-themed dinner for the James Beard House. The five-course meal has been inspired by Jay’s time on Food Network Star and tailgating. The food will be paired with wine and cocktails featuring local wineries and distilleries. The dinner is also a charitable event so the chefs’ cook at their own expense so Jay will has to cover the cost of the food and drinks for the Tailgate Party as well as his travel and lodging.
