About this Event

An Evening of Culinary Legacy at The Josephine Benefiting the Jacques Pépin Foundation

Be among the first to experience The Josephine—a stunning, newly-renovated landmark on oak-lined Napoleon Avenue. Set in the former Our Lady of Lourdes church, shuttered since Hurricane Katrina, this 90-year-old treasure now dazzles with its soaring domed ceiling, elegant dining room, and beautiful courtyard.

On this special night, Chefs Dickie Brennan & Susan Spicer with Michel Nischan reunite to recreate and reimagine a legendary 1993 Napa dinner they co-hosted with fellow New Orleans Chef Frank Brigsten—this time in honor of the Jacques Pépin Foundation.

  • 7–10 PM | Four-Course Seated Dinner – A tribute to Louisiana’s finest flavors, prepared with world-class technique.
