Chef Justin Lambert is One of 11 Louisiana Chefs Selected to Participate in Culinary Event in November
Baton Rouge, Louisiana – Chef Justin Lambert from BLDG 5 is among 11 renowned Louisiana chefs heading to Denver, CO to showcase the state’s distinctive flavors at “Louisiana Meets the Rockies.” The culinary event, taking place on Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2024, is part of the Louisiana Culinary Trails tourism marketing campaign.
