Big Chief was in New Orleans, Louisiana last week for a festival so why wouldn't he visit the historic Sazerac House and the Willy Wonka of Whiskey himself, the one and only Matt Ray, Experience Team Leader? Matt takes the big man to school as only a former teacher could do, educating him about Sazerac, Bourbon Street bartender life, and the best places in New Orleans to grab a cocktail and dinner. Of course, Matt makes the classic Sazerac cocktail for Big Chief - traditionally a combination of Cognac or Rye whiskey, Absinthe, Peychaud's Bitters, and sugar, although Bourbon whiskey is sometimes substituted for the Rye and Herbsaint is sometimes substituted for the Absinthe. Listen in as Matt and Big Chief sip on the oldest known American cocktail and let them bring The Big Easy to you. Cheers!

With 16 years of experience in the food industry, Briand is the first chef in Baldwin County, Ala., to be nominated for this prestigious award. Briand began his career in New Orleans working alongside celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse, who also happened to be the first guest to dine at Fisher’s the night before its Memorial Day Weekend opening in 2014. Briand went on to work with acclaimed New Orleans chef Donald Link at Herbsaint, Cochon and Butcher. Chef Briand and the Fisher’s team prioritize the integrity and quality of the ingredients in the dishes they prepare, depending on the local farmers and fishermen to provide them with the freshest produce and seafood each season.
