NEW ORLEANS — Gather two of our biggest celebrity chefs with a penchant for doing great community work through their Link Stryjewski Foundation, mix it up with the month of October and voila, you’ve got the first ever Tchoptoberfest!

“With our heritage of German and Polish and our love for meats and Cajun meats, Louisiana smoked meats, it was all influenced by the German heritage,” Chef Donald Link says.
