Chef Philippe in New Orleans for Asian Carp

In February, Chef Philippe and his group visited New Orleans to attend the Corps of Engineers open meeting. Chef Philippe spoke to the Corps representatives and other attendees saying, "Do not underestimate the power of cooking!" as he began his talk promoting the edibility and marketability of the Asian carp as the solution to control the invasive fish.  His solution will not only control the Asian carp population in America's waterways, but will help in preventing the closure of major shipping waterways that could result in thousands of lost jobs and millions of dollars worth of business for directly affected U.S. companies. In addition to helping the commercial shipping industry, Chef Philippe's solution to the Asian carp invasion will also create local jobs, boost local economies, and revitalize local commercial fishing.
