The fund will aid victims, their families, and those affected by the attack that occurred on January 1.
The range of offerings is diverse, from Eggs Benedict at Brennan’s to the French 75 cocktail at Arnaud’s, and from Felix’s BBQ Shrimp to the signature Crabmeat Cheesecake at the Palace Cafe. The fundraising effort is a collaborative endeavor to bring relief to those impacted by the tragic events.
Katy Casbarian, the co-proprietor of Arnaud’s Restaurant and French 75 Bar, expressed heartfelt sentiments, emphasizing the importance of supporting the victims and their families during this challenging time. The Louisiana Restaurant Association is leading the relief initiative, rallying its members to convert sales of popular French Quarter delicacies into financial aid for the victims.
