Multiple dinner parties to benefit Project Lazarus spanned the city on Sept 14 for the organization’s popular Bon Appétit.
Project Lazarus, which opened in 1985, is a transitional living facility for people living with HIV/AIDS in the greater New Orleans area. Bon Appétit is one of its major fundraisers.
This year’s event featured 10 sites hosted by: Falon Brown, Fletcher Jernigan, Lance Hebert and Jerry Fredieu; Nick Daigle and Daniel Post; Kenny Oubre and Jay Huffstatler; Stephanie and Stanton McNeely and Will Luton; Rodney Thoulion and RJ Burns; Blake Bascle and James McCune; Linda Pierce and Lisa Johnson; Charles Terrebonne; Tom Bouterie; and Marinates of Holy Cross.
After the good food and cheer, guests moved to the Dessert Party at Generations Hall, where sweet tooths were satisfied by offerings from Ayu Bakehouse, Aunt Sally’s Pralines, Beth Deitch, Dorignac’s, Louisiana Pizza Kitchen, Haydel’s Bakery, Nonna Randazzo’s, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Praline Dreams and Swiss Bakery.
The evening was made even sweeter for the winner of the raffle for a guitar signed by Taylor Swift!
Fun Fact: Project Lazarus has a new executive director, Ian Bicko.
