Tequila, five courses and more at Restaurant IPO tonight

Restaurant IPO will be flexing its culinary muscles with a tequila-infused menu and pairing dinner tonight at 7 p.m. Executive Chef Chris Wadsworth says the dinner will feature a five-course meal and specialty drinks, showing off several Patrón tequilas. “We’ll be preparing something with everything from the $500 bottle to the $40 bottle,” Wadsworth says.

The dinner includes pork belly, cold avocado soup, a citrus and crab salad, a main entrée of a crawfish-stuffed pork and duck chops from Chappapeela Farms in Amite, and dessert. Chefs Jay Ducote (also a 225 contributor) and Sean Rivera will be accompanying Wadsworth in the kitchen tonight. Tickets are still available and are $50. Wadsworth recommends patrons make reservations by calling 302-5541.
