Dead Poet’s new brunch series aims to shine a more inclusive light on lesser-known chefs
By Julia-Claire Evans
Starting this month, Dead Poet will launch its Saturday Brunch Series, showcasing the diverse talents of lesser-known chefs from around Baton Rouge.
The East Boyd Drive bar started serving food last year in order to stay afloat during the pandemic restrictions. Owner David Facey says he and his team were changing up the menu a lot, which gave him the idea to let other local chefs try their hand in the Dead Poet kitchen.
“I thought it would be really cool to give this opportunity to aspiring chefs in the community, and allow them to gain some experience,” Facey says. “They can just try it out and don’t have to be in charge of a whole kitchen.”
