Erik Desjarlais, Owner/Executive Chef of Evangeline confirmed rumors and provided details about a new dining experience called "12 Seats." He and his new wife, Krista Desjarlais (formally Kern) - Owner/Executive Chef of Bresca - will prepare a 12 course meal each month for 12 guests. 12 Seats will be housed in the same location as Bresca.
Here are the details:
- The last Sunday of every month they will seat 12 guests, by reservation only, and cook a 12 course meal.
- A paired wine flight, as well as a limited 12 bottle list will be offered.
- There will be one seating at one big table (think the dinner scene from the movie Babettes Feast
) - Krista and Erik will collaborate on the dishes - all original - not selections from Evangeline or Bresca.
- Bresca will be transformed into 12 Seats, with a different decor, and a 12 Seats sign to hang over the Bresca sign.
The goal is to create a highly personalized experience; severe food allergies will be accommodated (dietary preferences will not). The dinner will be $120pp, excluding wine.
Update: 12 Seats has been postponed, see comments below.

Do you know if this meal is still on? Krista said they'd be mailing out menus and confirmations at the beginning of October but we haven't heard a peep.
12 Seats has been postponed indefinitely - for a very happy reason. Krista and Erik are expecting a baby! They want to be sure that Krista has some down time to rest during the pregnancy. Fortunately we can still enjoy their great food at their respective restaurants, Bresca & Evangeline. Congratulations to the happy couple!
Thanks for the news and congrats to K&E!
