Réveillon! It's a meal, an event, a celebration of the coming Christmas season, and a culinary tradition enjoyed by generations of New Orleanians and French-speaking people around the world. Now you can celebrate and experience that tradition with the Pacific Food & Beverage Museum. On Tuesday, December 17, join PacFAB for a Creole Christmas feast like no other, at Harold & Belle's Creole Restaurant, home of the finest Creole food in Los Angeles for 50 years!
The evening, sponsored by WhistlePig Rye Whiskey, features a range of traditional Creole dishes, among them charred oysters, crawfish étoufée, and soft-shell crabs, and classic New Orleans cocktails, including the Sazerac, the Vieux Carré, and Café Brûlot, all made with WhistlePig, the most awarded Rye Whiskey in the world. Plus enjoy neat pours of seven WhistlePig expressions, including the newly released and very rare Boss Hog VI: The Samurai Scientist!
Dinner is $89 for all National Food & Beverage Foundation (NatFAB), hospitality industry, Culinary Historians of Southern California, and SoCal wine and spirits club members, or $99 for non-members, and includes tax and gratuity. Space is strictly limited, and reservations are required. NatFAB membership is available to all at natfab.org/membership.

ABOUT WHISTLEPIG
Founded in 2008, WhistlePig is now the most awarded Rye Whiskey maker in the world. We live by a simple ethos: protect what makes Rye Whiskey great, toss out the rest, and then innovate to make it better. Our remote 500 acre hard-working farm in bucolic Shoreham, Vermont, is the perfect place to perfect our experiments with blending and finishing, ultimately leading to a portfolio of deeply complex, ultra-aged Rye Whiskeys. In 2017 we were honored to be awarded with the coveted "Best In Show Whiskey" title from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
