Sword swallowing, opera singing, fire dancing and more will take center stage at the Louisiana Culinary Institute’s collaboration with Vaudeville Entertainment this Thursday.
The event will be half-dinner, half-spectacle. The night kicks off at 6 p.m. with a cocktail hour featuring beer, wine, blackberry smashes and pear martinis courtesy of BRQ.
The cocktail hour will be followed by the main courses courtesy of Bacon and Fig Events. Patrons will start their meals with an heirloom caprese salad, followed by an entree of marinated skirt steak with salsa verde and garlic and herb crusted potatoes.
