Chef Hosie Bourgeois was born and raised in New Orleans and is a graduate of Archbishop Shaw HS, Nicholls State University and the Culinary Institute of New Orleans. The lifelong development of his culinary skills dates back to when he was a child with his two grandmothers who were amazing cooks to the Culinary Institute to numerous competitions. He was chosen to go to Dijon, Burgundy, France to represent N.O. in the 2014 Fete with three-star Michelin Chefs where his New Orleans-style Barbeque Shrimp with Gorgonzola Truffle Grits was voted "best of the fest" by the French crowds. Hosie took a first in the 2012 Performance Food Service Top Chef competition, was invited to be a guest chef for an Alsatian Dinner at the Deutsches Haus in 2017 and has honed his skills alongside the likes of John Folse, Susan Spicer, Tory McPhail, John Besh, Andrea Apuzzo, Greg Sonnier, Leon Galatoire, Frank Brigtsen, Gunter Preuss, Anthony Uglesich and Matt Murphy. His most important accomplishment is as a father to two young men, Blair and Xachary.
