ALTON - Renown French chef Philippe Parola will be in Alton on
Saturday, serving up fish for the "It's Our River Day" at Riverfront Park.
"I am encouraging the local area to participate in my Asian Carp Invasion
Solution," Parola said.
During the Fourth Annual Mississippi Earthtones Festival, Parola,
president and CEO of Chef Parola Enterprises, will be demonstrating
how to prepare the Asian carp as a delicacy and handing out samples
and recipes.
Geo and Laurie Raftopoulos of Chez Marilyn will be on hand, providing
the turkey fryers, oil, spices and assistance to Chef Parola.
"This is exciting, and we are really looking forward to it," Laurie
Raftopoulos said. "Chef Parola is an interesting man, and I think people
will really enjoy him and his cooking."
The French, Italian and Louisiana continental cuisine chef has opened
several restaurants, both in the U.S. and overseas. MORE...
