In advance of our meeting tonight, I wanted to be sure to give everyone a little amuse bouche, and some advance information about our panelists, an illustrious bunch of foodies and hospitality experts.
Following a welcome from our generous hosts, the Ralph Brennan Restaurant Group, we'll launch into a great presentation from Chef Scott Boswell, and then our panel discussion about food, restaurants and social media. We're looking forward to eating, drinking and learning with you all!
With no further ado, your panelists:
Scott Boswell: Chef and owner of Stella! and Stanley in New Orleans, Chef Scott will be discussing his role as a blogging and tweeting chef, both in New Orleans and during his travels and work in other cities. Stella! was recently awarded 5 beans from The New Orleans Times-Picayune's Brett Anderson, and I can attest to the deliciousness of the menu--well deserved beans, imho!
