Vending Machine Winery Pop-Up Restaurant at Roux Wine and Spirits

For anybody who has been waiting to eat my food again (or for the first time), you’re in luck! On Thursday, October 25th I’ll be cooking a pop-up wine dinner at Roux Wine and Spirits in Prairieville. Along with Chef Brian Medlin for All-Star Catering and Smokin’ Aces Barbecue, we’ll cook up my menu inspired by wines from the Vending Machine Winery and vending machines themselves. Each dish will have some item found in vending machines incorporated into it. Neil and Monica Gernon from Vending Machine Winery will be there to talk about the wines as well!
