Joy of The Feast

Chef Lisa Brooks takes her women-led Lowcountry soul dining experience on a multi-city tour Written by Leo Desseaux

Chef, mentor, and entrepreneur Lisa Brooks, Executive Chef and CEO of Heart & Soul Personal Chef Services, has announced her first culinary tour: Joy of the Feast. As part of this multi-city event, Brooks and a talented team of nationally known and rising Black women chefs will share signature Lowcountry coastal cuisine as part of a unique and intimate fine dining experience. Adding to the intrigue, the location of each venue will remain a surprise to registered attendees until 24 hours in advance of the event. While no two Joy of the Feast tour stops will be the same, guests in each city will be treated to a seven-course meal of impeccable dishes and drinks, complemented by Chef Lisa’s warm and welcoming dining style. Each dinner will feature a local female chef or mixologist who will create a signature dish or drink that reflects the tour city. “I am thrilled to share my Carolina-based cuisine and dining experience with those who have followed my career from a distance and those who are new to my work,” said Brooks. “It is near and dear to my heart to curate unforgettable dining experiences that are inviting, delicious, fun, and fabulous. I’ve been able to share this gift in the Charlotte region and look forward to spreading the magic in major cities across the country.”

Each event will implement social distancing and adhere to local and federal health guidelines for dining. The Joy of the Feast tour will visit the following cities: July 13, Atlanta, GA

July 18, Houston, TX July 20, Dallas, TX July 24, Los Angeles, CA July 30, San Francisco CA August 5, Nashville, TN August 7, Chicago, IL August 11, Columbus, OH August 14, New York, NY August 18, Washington, DC August 20, Durham, NC August 26 & 27, Charlotte, NC
