A Christmas Feast with An American Idol

Send us Fan MailWhat is a Reveillon feast, you may ask? "A Réveillon dinner is a traditional, lavish French Creole holiday feast in New Orleans, named from the French word for "awakening," originally eaten late after midnight mass on Christmas Eve but now offered throughout December in many restaurants as multi-course, prix-fixe menus featuring rich dishes like gumbo, turtle soup, seafood, roasted meats, and decadent desserts. It's a festive culinary event showcasing Creole culture, with menus evolving from traditional breakfasts to elaborate dinners with modern twists. " -the google. This year,  I am over the moon!
