In Regina's Kitchen: Local chef offers Cooking, Wine Bar Experience

---

​I'm so proud of my dear friend Regina Charboneau. She is the Ina Garten of Natchez having written numerous cookbooks, and is a classically trained renowned chef.

With Regina’s Kitchen, she offers so much to locals and visitors. At her Southern Cooking School, you can make her legendary biscuits and more. Cafe tables spill out overlooking Main Street. Stop for a glass a wine and something delicious. Her Epicerie offers picnic essentials to go, and that space leads into a lovely Wine Bar & Bistro with live music! 

Regina's Kitchen is a great complement to her critically acclaimed King's Tavern, and the family's Charboneau Distillery which wins medal after medal for its rum offerings. The Distillery is open for tours.

Finally there's Twin Oaks, a classic Greek Revival Home where Regina has taught cooking lessons and hosted events. There are six charming guest rooms on the grounds. 

Regina is from Natchez and left to pursue her culinary dreams. She realized great success in San Francisco and has always cooked from the heart adding Natchez to the plate. Glad she came home!

COMING SOON: Papi y Papi
Coffee, Cigars, & Cacao
 636 Franklin Street ​

He wasn't open and Dub Rogers still welcomed me on a cold winter day to his phenomenal Steampunk Coffee. 

He's since closed Steampunk in anticipation of his new Papi y Papi, a specialty retail store showcasing his passion for coffee & espresso alongside his love for cigars and cacao (think fine chocolates).  

And while I'll miss the magic of Steampunk Coffee, I can't wait to see and taste what Dub Rogers' next downtown establishment will offer... Papi y Papi will be exceptional! Follow along on instagram: @papiypapi for updates.
