The annual family-friendly Cook-Off at Docville Farm aims to raise awareness about coastal restoration by celebrating the bounty of southeast Louisiana. Local cook teams prepare dishes featuring wild game found in Louisiana’s coastal wetlands and serve up free samples to event attendees. A panel of judges, including local chefs, will rate the entries on taste, originality and presentation. Trophies will be awarded in the following categories: swims, flies, crawls, student organizations and crowd favorite.

The Cook-off for the Coast is hosted by Restore the Mississippi River Delta, Vanishing Paradise, and the Meraux Foundation in partnership with Saint Bernard Parish Coastal Division, St. Bernard Parish Tourism, and Nunez Community College.
