City Club Welcomes our New Executive Chef Cordell Walker

MAY 1, 2024

Please join me in welcoming Cordell Walker as our Club’s new Executive Chef.

With his unique blend of creativity, passion for food and contagious leadership, I am confident that Chef Cordell will enhance our Club’s culinary offerings and elevate the dining experience for our members and guests.

A graduate of Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Austin, Texas, with post-graduate experience in Paris, France, Chef Cordell brings impressive culinary expertise to City Club. Chef Cordell’s wide range of experience includes working at Austin’s Ventana restaurant, serving as Sous Chef for Chef John Folse & Company and Jubans, partnering with Dooky Chase on special events, serving as Executive Chef for Marriott Baton Rouge, and more.

Chef Cordell brings vast experience in creative, upscale catering that will greatly enhance club events, private events, and weddings. For member dining, look forward to Chef Cordell’s fresh perspective on fine dining, featuring Louisiana-inspired plates using local ingredients along with new dishes showcasing global flavors – all while still offering your club favorites.

Stay tuned for upcoming culinary events, special daily featured dishes, and added variety and updates to our menus - as well as a special reception for members later this month to introduce you to Chef Cordell and his culinary artistry.

Chef Cordell looks forward to meeting you on your next visit to the City Club - feel free to ask for him, as he’d be delighted to stop by your table to chat!

For dining reservations or more information about booking a private event, please call 225-387-5767 or email us at cityclub@brcityclub.com.

Bon Appétit!
