SHREVEPORT, LA — The Centenary Alumni Association has planned its annual “Beast Feast: Something for Everyone!” fundraiser for Saturday, April 27, from 4:30 to 7:00 p.m. on Centenary’s Jones Rice Field. Beast Feast is a unique, festival style culinary event featuring “off the menu” items prepared by local backyard chefs and popular restaurateurs.
Origin Bank is the presenting sponsor for Beast Feast. All proceeds from the event support student scholarships.
“We are excited for our seventh annual Beast Feast,” said Katie Chopin, director of alumni and family relations at Centenary. “This year we have 20 cook teams competing and it’s shaping up to be our best year yet! Cook teams will compete for the ‘Best of Beast Feast’ award, as well as the best of their category: Beef/Poultry/Pork, Seafood, Wild Game, and Vegan/Vegetarian.”
Farmer’s Seafood is providing a donation of Louisiana seafood which includes catfish, crawfish, shrimp, and oysters, all to be prepared by area restaurants and backyard chefs. Additionally, the Louisiana Beef Industry Council, the official beef sponsor of Beast Feast, is providing a variety of cuts of beef to be prepared by volunteer chefs. A full list of chefs and cook teams will be updated at centenarybeastfeast.com.
