Gumbo Cook-Off – LSU Carolinas Mardi Gras Gumbo Cook-off took place in February at Hi-Wire Brewing in Charlotte. Fifteen Tiger chefs volunteered their time and gumbo-cooking skills and shared their tasty results with more than 250 attendees, raising more than $2,000 for the LSU Carolinas Scholarship Fund. King cakes were served and provided by Nancy Focht, and DJ Festivus entertained the crowd, which broke out in a second line.
