Jam and Jazz Chef's Brunch Baton Rouge

It's that time of year again! Join your friends at Catholic Community Radio and listeners from all over South Louisiana as we bring another star of local cuisine to The Capital City.

Starting with mimosas, coffee, and breakfast bites in the lobby, you'll then be ushered into the main ballroom of the beautiful Renaissance Hotel where Chef Bryan Landry and Monsignor Christopher Nalty will perform a live cooking demonstration, (complete with color commentary!) as you prepare to taste what they've just cooked as your entree!

It's great fun and supports the cause of Catholic Radio in Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and along the Gulf Coast.  We'll see you there!
