Papa Noel Tea, Tran Benefit, The Elusive Nathan Dalton

MIGHTY MISSISSIP'? The Creole Queen Paddleboat has added another date, December 23 from 1:30-3:30p.m., for their kid-friendly Holiday Tea with Papa Noel, due to a huge sell out for the other dates. Guests enjoy tea, Hors d'oeuvres, desserts and, oh yes, a candy buffet. Kids also get a stuffed gator, and there will be a LIVE GATOR on board. Cost is $49 for adults, $34 for children under 12 years of age and free for children 2 and under. Reservations can be made at 504.529.4567 or here. [EaterWire]

CBD? Don't forget that Chef Quan Tran's Benefit is Monday night at Le Foret, 6p.m. Tons of great chefs, bartenders and entertainment, all for a wonderful cause... helping Chef Tran through his battle with stomach cancer. Tickets are $125, and available by calling Le Foret at (504) 553-6738. [EaterWire]
