Once the sauce and beignets are done, plate the beignets with the sauce. Make a dash of sauce across a plate and set the beignets on top.

La Brigade, a course that allows offers students to manage periodic restaurant-style luncheons, fills York with diverse, themed meals and rising aromas from their first-floor kitchen. Students that lead the luncheon curate the menu around a central idea. 

“When I pick a recipe, I either think of a genre, cuisine or a flavor I want to explore,” junior luncheon manager Savannah Nichols said. “[In the case of the creole-themed luncheon,] I really wanted our guests to enjoy some good southern cooking.”
