MAISON MADELINE SECRET SUPPER SERIES

Next on tap is award-winning Chef Isaac Toups – owner of Toups Meatery and Toups South in New Orleans and author of Chasing the Gator: Isaac Toups and the New Cajun Cooking (Little, Brown and Company). James Beard “Best Chef: South” Finalist and Bravo TV’s “Top Chef” season 13 “Fan Favorite,” Chef Isaac Toups exemplifies the new guard of Cajun chefs. A native of Rayne, Louisiana – the heart of Cajun country – Toups is known for his “born and braised” culinary style. Chef/Owner of Toups' Meatery and Toups South in New Orleans, his unique combination of childhood roots, heavily influenced by both grandmothers, along with honing his skills in some of New Orleans’ most acclaimed restaurants – including a decade of fine dining experience in Emeril Lagasse’s New Orleans kitchens – gives Chef Isaac Toups a cutting-edge that is unrivaled. On October 23, 2018 Toups released his first cookbook, Chasing the Gator – Isaac Toups & the New Cajun Cooking (Little, Brown and Company) alongside co-author Jennifer V. Cole. Named one of The New York Times’ “Best Cookbooks of Fall 2018,”Chasing the Gator takes readers on a fun-filled journey through modern Cajun cooking with tricks, tips, recipes and stories. ¬ Dinner, priced at $195 per person, will replicate Chef Toups’ recent appearance at the prestigious James Beard House in New York City and includes a cocktail reception and four courses with pairings, along with renowned photographer Denny Culbert and live performances by Yvette Landry, Roddie Romero and Beau Thomas. Copies of Chasing the Gator will be available for purchase and signing by Chef Toups. WHEN/WHERE: Maison Madeline’s Secret Supper with Chef Isaac Toups will take pla
