CHEF ISAAC TOUPS INTRODUCES COUNTER CLUB:

INTIMATE MONTHLY DINNER SERIES AT TOUPS SOUTH

 

Since opening in October 2016, Toups South has been Chef/Co-owner Isaac Toups' culinary playground for imaginative southern regional cuisine. Now, fans and foodies will have the opportunity to spend one night a month with the talented toque at his new intimate off-menu dinner series, Counter Club. Taking place the third Thursday of every month, Counter Club will launch on Thursday, September 21, 2017, held exclusively at the restaurant's exhibition kitchen counter.

"Anyone who knows me, knows I love to get creative with the food we're doing and Counter Club gives me the opportunity to just have fun with menu and do some really cool things," says Toups. "I really intend to go out of the box, ditch the menu and flex some of my off kilter ideas."

The monthly theme dinners, priced at only $50 per person (excluding beverages, tax and gratuity), will include four courses, plus an amuse bouche and welcome cocktail. For the premiere dinner, Toups and Chef de Cuisine Seamus Rozycki will serve up "A Fowl Experience" featuring inventive dishes such as duck breast larb - a Lao salad with butter lettuce, minced duck breast, butter lettuce, Thai chili and puffed rice and pickled quail eggs with caviar. Themes for upcoming Counter Club dinners will be revealed the first week of each month; menus will be unavailable for viewing until arriving at Toups South. With only 18 seats available per month, guests are encouraged to book early to secure their spots.

Counter Club will launch on Thursday, September 21, 2017 and will take place the third Thursday of each month at the Toups South exhibition kitchen, 1504 Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard inside the Southern Food & Beverage Museum (SoFAB) in New Orleans. Seating is very limited and reservations can only be made by calling the restaurant directly at (504) 304-2147. Diners should specify which Counter Club they'd like to attend and share any dietary restrictions.  www.toupsouth.com. Stay up to date on Counter Club themes, availability and a chance to win seats: @toupssouth (Instagram & Twitter) and/or Facebook.com/ToupsSouth
