Twenty-five years after John Folse opened his first restaurant at the foot of the Sunshine Bridge in Donaldsonville, the renowned Louisiana chef has been continually committed to the culture and cuisine of the state and the people so dear to his heart.
Folse was recently reappointed to the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board by Governor Jindal to serve as a marketing specialist. In a special board meeting held to elect officers and review bylaws, he was selected to serve as the new Seafood Board chairman.
“The election of John as chair is certainly the right move for this board,” said board member Peter Totorich, senior director of perishables at Associated Grocers. “With his past involvement on the board, his experience will afford each of us the knowledge and guidance that will assist each of us in our evaluation of each task moving forward.”
