LAFAYETTE?The Cajun Country outpost of Donald Link's Cochon is hosting a special four course dinner with dishes paired with Bayou Teche Biere. It's January 18, at 7PM, with tickets at $50. [IND]

FRENCH QUARTER?The Hotel Monteleone's Carousel Bar is getting in on the BCS action as well with a pair of special cocktails. The Death Valley and Crimson Tide cocktails are currently available, presumably until the game ends. [EaterWire]

RIVERWALK?If watching endless amounts of football and getting well drunk isn't your idea of a fun Saturday night, perhaps you'll be interested in the Jazzmen Rice Demo at the Southern Food and Beverage Museum. Chef Glen Hough of Vega Tapas Café will be demonstrating how to make brown rice paella with the local rice brand. [Bouillie]
