The Center for Hospitality and Sports Management at Drexel University is responsible for Philly Chef Conference but that is hardly the only cool event they host during the year.

On Friday, March 6th, Drexel’s hospitality program welcomes Tory McPhail, executive chef of Commander’s Palace in New Orleans to a pop-up dinner at the University’s Academic Bistro.

Commander’s Palace is a landmark among dining landmarks in New Orleans. Open since 1880 and now under the stewardship McPhail, a James Beard award winning chef, the restaurant is known for its haute Creole cuisine.

The four-course dinner costs $75 per person and includes complimentary drink pairings. Tickets to the event are available on Drexel’s web site.

UPDATE: The dinner is now sold out.
