NEW ORLEANS (press release) – The New Orleans Wine & Food Experience (NOWFE) kicks off its annual event with the Ella Brennan “Stand Up for Your Hometown” Awards gala dinners on Tuesday, June 8. The dinners will take place concurrently at three locations Galerie de Galatoire, Rib Room, and Broussard’s.
