New Orleans Vegan Chef Challenge returns September 1st. Here are some of the participating spots! More will most likely sign up before the end of the month 😊

The NOLA Vegan Chef Challenge kicks off on September 1! 🌱

Throughout September, participating restaurants and pop-ups around the city will be adding new vegan dishes to their menus. Diners can try the dishes and share their feedback, with awards going to the top-rated chef at the end of the challenge.

Here’s a look at some of the local businesses already signed up to participate this year!

11 restaurant industry friends coming to NOLA — where would you eat?

A group of 11 of us are heading to NOLA and would love some really good local recs! About half of us work in the restaurant industry, so we’re especially curious to hear everyone’s favorite spots.
We’re open to pretty much all cuisines, but since we’re coming to New Orleans, we definitely want to lean more Creole/Cajun and local specialties and eat things we’re not going to get quite the same way back home.
We’re all in our late 20s, so we’re not trying to drop $300/person every night, but we definitely want to do one really great fine dining dinner while we’re there. We’ve been looking at Arnaud’s for that night, but I’d love to hear if you think it’s worth it or if there’s somewhere else we absolutely shouldn’t miss.
Food, bars, late-night spots, hole-in-the-wall places, hidden gems—we’re open to anything. Cheers! 🍸⚜️

Chef Anh Luu, is she still around?

I went to the Bywater Brewery several years ago and Anh Luu was the chef at the time. Her food is the stuff of dreams! I was and am completely blown away by her Vietnamese/Cajun fusion. I found her website and instagram but it looks like she disappeared a couple of years ago. Does anyone know what became of her?
