On January 9th at 6:30 p.m., a benefit wine dinner will take place at La Cote Brasserie to help raise funds for a local 5 year old, Ben Sarrat, Jr., who is battling brain cancer. A team of chefs from New Orleans restaurants, including the Rushing/Vines-Rushings from Mila and Chuck Subra from La Cote Brasserie, will offer a six course dinner all paired with wines and hors d'oeuvres. The cost is $100 all inclusive. All proceeds benefit Ben Jr. and to paraphrase Judge Smails, "the remaining chefs are no slouches either."
I realize the holidays just stole your wallet, turned your liver into a homicidal maniac, and caused you to make a bunch of resolutions you have no intention of honoring, but this should be a great dinner. It is the second Friday in January, so you should not be busy. Please consider going or making a donation.

Hors d'oeuvres and a six-course meal by a team including Mila's chef (for whom I've harbored a relentless infatuation since I read the restaurant's menu- an infatuation that has yet to be tempered by a restaurant visit) for $100?! Good God, I'd go if I could, but I've got plans. I am achingly jealous.
Thanks for such a knowledgeable post.
