Wanna get cultured while you enjoy some tasty treats? Several upcoming events fit the bill!

First up, this Saturday, August 20, Chef Paul Prudhomme and Blue Dog artist George Rodrigue will give a cooking demonstration at Manship Theatre. The event is held in conjunction with Rodrigue's Blue Dogs and Cajuns on the River art exhibition, currently on display at the LSU Museum of Art.

Next, who doesn't love to eat for a good cause? In two weeks, you can do just that at Fête Rouge, presented by The Baton Rouge Epicurean Society. Thursday, August 25, and Friday, August 26, enjoy food by some of Louisiana's best chefs, wine, music, and more. Proceeds benefit local children's nutrition and health programs.

Finally, you can't eat it, but the upcoming CANstruction exhibit at the Louisiana Art & Science Museum will help put food on the table for dozens of local families. Teams of architects and builders will create sculptures made entirely of canned food and other nonperishable food items, which will be on display September 3-18. After the display closes, all food will be donated to the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank. (Image courtesy LASM)
