Event Description:
The first L.A. Gumbo Festival will be held at The Wharf from April 11-13. To kick off the event, Alabama restaurateur and football legend Bob Baumhower and Louisiana Chef John Folse have teamed up to produce the world's largest pot of gumbo. It will be unveiled on April 11 at 4 pm, just before the Kenny Chesney concert at the Amphitheater at The Wharf. Up to 48 foodies and professional chefs are expected to compete in a series of gumbo cook-offs for $4,000 in cash prizes. There will also be arts & crafts, kids activities, music and cooking demonstrations as well as a variety of animals from alligators to kangaroos.
