Week of July 8: Bastille Day, Taylor Swift and Fried Chicken Sandwiches

Bastille Day is this Sunday, July 14. Celebrate with gourmet supplies from some of our favorites, such as La Boulangerie’s baguette (and more), a complete cheese board and a “deep dive class” (on July 10) from St. James Cheese Company, croissants and pastries from Celtica French Bakery, and a bottle (or two) of rosé, bien sur, from Grand Krewe in the Marigny or Martin’s Wine & Spirits Uptown and Metairie. 

We are loving this Commander’s Palace + French Truck Coffee collab. Coffee and chicory k-pods are now available for purchase at French Truck Coffee, Le Petit Bleu Cafe or online. Can we also a get a buddy-road trip series from these two, please?  

If you have a Swiftie in your family (or are one yourself) you will want to mark your calendar for a special release from Fringe + Co this Saturday, July 13. Taylor Swift party tees are coming, so be ready! They will sell out.

Louisiana Fish Fry is calling all home chefs to throw down in their fried chicken sandwich challenge. Competitors can submit their unique chicken sandwich recipes in a photo or short video and go head-to-head with home cooks in six cities across the country from L.A. to N.Y.C. Let’s bring this one home, Louisiana! Get your sandwich recipes in!
