St. Bernard Chamber’s First-Ever Savor St. Bernard Serves Up Success for Local Restaurants

More than 20 local restaurants participated, offering exclusive “Savor Specials” that brought in both loyal patrons and first-time visitors. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many community members expressing enthusiasm and appreciation for this brand-new program. 

The celebration kicked off with a feature on Channel 4 WWL Morning News on Friday, July 18, where local restaurant owners of Dat Kitchen joined Chamber Executive Board Member and Shop Small Committee Chair, Jessica Reab, owner of Brewster’s Restaurant, to showcase Dat Kitchen’s House Burger special, one of the highlights of the 10-day event. This feature has since been reposted to the Chamber’s YouTube page, where viewers can watch it at @StBernardChamber. 

The Chamber also hosted an Instagram photo and video contest, where community members showcased their most mouthwatering Savor St. Bernard moments. Contest winners received Visa gift cards in recognition of their creativity and spirit. 

To build on this year’s success, the Chamber launched a post-event survey to gather community feedback for future events. Everyone who completed the survey was entered to win a $250 gift certificate to Rocky & Carlo’s, one of St. Bernard’s most iconic local restaurants — and the winner has officially been selected. 

“This was our first time hosting Savor St. Bernard, and the enthusiasm from both our restaurants and the community was incredible,” said Chandler Adams, Marketing and Communications Manager for the St. Bernard Chamber of Commerce. “It’s proof that St. Bernard’s culinary scene is thriving and worth celebrating year after year.” 

With the debut year now complete, the St. Bernard Chamber is already making plans for the next Savor St. Bernard, aiming to bring even more flavor, fun, and community spirit to the table. 

“We’re committed to listening to the community and using the feedback we’ve received to make next year’s Savor St. Bernard even better,” said Rhett Pritchard, St. Bernard Chamber Executive Director.
