He’s been featured in Sports Illustrated, Business Insider, Readers Diegest, New Orleans Magazine, morning shows, and on the Food Network show, “Chopped”, making it all the way to the final round.  In 2017 and 2020 he was voted one of the "Best Chefs in Louisiana" by the American Culinary Federation, Louisiana Chapter.

My husband, Richard, and I just spent the evening with Chef Gason cooking Creole dishes. The whole experience was beyond all expectations.

Great experience, to work with a chef from the country of the food you’re preparing, awesome!

Rob Pruett

Truly awesome experience without leaving the house. Chef Gason made us feel like we were in New Orleans and gave us stories, history and easy cooking tips to use at home. The organization and communication leading up to it made for a flawless 2 hour class. Thank you for a fun date night!
