French Quarter Fest, a weekend of music, food and special events that celebrate our historic French Quarter, promises to bring in record crowds again in 2011. As the official hotel of the festival, the Hotel will also play host to numerous well-known musicians. As if this wasn’t enough, we’re also hosting “Chef and the Fat Man,” a fast-paced and entertaining, live two-hour cooking show hosted by Chef Fred Genovese, the “Fat Man,” Kevin Jenkins and Andy Stangenberg. You can be a part of the live audience on Sunday afternoon in the Carousel Bar.
