Louisiana Chefs Travel To D.C. To Help Seafood Bounce Back

WASHINGTON – It's a case of show and tell, and Wednesday night, the show is taking place at a Washington, D.C. restaurant, and it's telling the story of Louisiana seafood.

In a Washington, D.C. restaurant called Acadiana, Louisiana is in full swing.

"Nationally, we have lost a good amount of our market. We need to get that back, and this is what that's all about," said Chef John Besh. "We're out there saying, here it is, look at it, it's great, it tastes good, it's good for you and it's highly scrutinized, more than any other food you'll find in the market."

Besh is one of more than a half-dozen New Orleans-area chefs on hand for a major reception called “Let the World Be Your Oyster.”
