Gotreaux Family Farms is hosting a six-course Harvest on the Farm dinner Sunday made from the foods grown on the Gotreaux farms, and each course is paired with a wine chosen by Leger. Hors d’oeuvres begin at 4 p.m., and the entrée will be served at sunset and the rest of the dinner will be held in candlelight.
For hors d’oeuvres, Conner is serving braised figs with farm cheese, merquez lamb sausage with orange and purple bell peppers, caramelized scallion and chicken liver puffs, kale chips with pepper relish and chicken salad okra boats.
The soup is a tilapia stew with fresh herbs — with tilapia from Gotreaux Family Farms’ impressive tilapia operation, followed by a salad of garden offerings with greens, vegetable ribbons and buttermilk vinaigrette,
The tilapia makes an appearance once again in the fish course with a pan-seared tilapia filet with okinawan sweet potato purée and braised greens. The poultry course is coq au vin leg quarters with baby stew vegetables, followed by a smoked and braised lamb ragout ravioli with charred scallions.
To round out the meal, Conner has created a butternut squash ice cream with shortbread cookie, fig compote and candied pecans.
Tickets are $140 per seat, and seating is limited. For tickets, contact Brian or Dawn Gotreaux at 873-0383 or

There will soon be a whole lot of shakin’ going on at Benny’s Sportshack Supplement Depot, a new concept by Opelousas native Benny Nele. Located at 2002 Johnston St., the supplement shop, smoothie bar and café, featuring hot off the press paninis and wraps, plans to open in late May.
Philip deMahy Sr., a once respected New Iberia ad exec, was sentenced May 2 to spend the next two years (he faced up to 100 years) in a state penitentiary after state and federal investigators found dozens of images depicting children engaged in lewd sexual acts on his personal computer.
This year’s Cool Town issue is all about people who are not native to South Louisiana but made a conscious decision to be here, to be among us, to participate in our culture and contribute to it.
A shelved ordinance transferring $200,000 from a northside drainage project to a south Lafayette development may not break any laws, but it stinks to high heaven.
An effort to restore a shuttered dancehall and document other vacant or razed honky-tonks could serve as a model for saving an endangered species of entertainment.
Lafayette’s gene pool has been host to a long line of eccentric characters who have blurred the lines between crazy, genius, disturbed and curiously entertaining.
