On Sunday, July 19 at the Louisiana Restaurant Association Expo, four Culinary Arts teams competed in the Alligator Soiree. Delgado Community College (DCC), Louisiana Culinary Institute (LCI), LTC Jefferson (LTC) and Sowella Community College were the schools competing. LCI placed first, DCC placed second and LTC placed third.

The teams prepared an appetizer and an entrée in 1 hour and 45 minutes with alligator being the predominant ingredient. All the teams knew that the center of the plate was to be alligator but each team had a different presentation, including Asian, Italian and All-American. All teams were judged by foodservice professionals under certified rules.
