For one night only some of Louisiana’s top chefs will be stepping into the kitchens of 14 Charlotte restaurants for an evening of culinary collaborations.

On Thursday, the Louisiana X Charlotte Restaurant Night will feature chefs from the Bayou State and Queen City collaborating on dishes at some of Charlotte’s most popular restaurants — each offering a one-of-a-kind experience available at different price points presented as a private ticketed dinner, a prix fixe menu or special featured dishes.
