We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Chef Kris Allen of Pamplona Tapas Bar & Restaurant, located in the heart of Lafayette, Louisiana. Chef Allen has taken top honors at the prestigious Foodie Fest Louisiana Seafood Cook-Off, impressing the judges and attendees with his culinary expertise. His winning creation—a perfectly executed Crab-Stuffed Flounder—showcases the best of Louisiana's rich coastal bounty, combining delicate, flaky fish with a savory, lump-crab filling that highlights the region's signature flavors. This victory is a testament to Chef Allen's skill, creativity, and deep commitment to celebrating local seafood on Friday June 26, 2026 at the Ponchartrain Center, Kenner, Louisiana.
