Hearn Award Dinner set for May 5

Tickets are on sale for the Lafcadio Hearn Award Dinner at Nicholls State University’s Chef John Folse Culinary Institute. The dinner will take place at 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 5, in the Nicholls Student Union Cotillion Ballroom.
The Lafcadio Hearn Award is the most coveted honor bestowed by the Institute. It recognizes individuals who have made a lasting impact on cuisine and culture in Louisiana and beyond. The award is named after Lafcadio Hearn, a journalist and author whose late 19th-century writings helped establish New Orleans as a global epicenter of gastronomy and preserved the legacy of Creole cooking for future generations.
The evening will feature a multi-course dinner prepared and served by the talented students of the Chef John Folse Culinary Institute, providing them with a premier opportunity to showcase their skills alongside distinguished industry professionals.
