“Brown is the color of flavor,” says @frankbrigtsen , so let us count the ways from my last dinner at Brigtsen’s Restaurant.

“Color of Flavor” is the chef’s new cookbook, brought into the world with his passion and backing by @bluerunnerfoods .

Saturday (Aug. 8), @nocca.nola hosts a launch party from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. (600 Homer Plessy Way) where chef will be signing books.

Never been to Brigtsen’s? Start with:

🦐the gumbo and BBQ shrimp with calas (Creole rice fritters)

🐟fish with pecan meunière

🦪the “Shell Beach Diet” seafood platter (not fried, not light either)

🍑and if that peach bread pudding is on special it’s a must (pecan pie otherwise or in addition).

Link in my bio has the full read on the man, the book and how it came to be.
