Food and Entertaining
Course #: STREETCAR - 3
Savor the Flavor of New Orleans with Chef John Besh
John Besh grew up in Southern Louisiana and his
cooking is deeply rooted in the traditions and flavors of
the Bayou. At an early age he learned the essentials of
Louisiana’s rich culinary traditions working in commercial kitchens. Since Hurricane Katrina, Besh has changed
the way America thinks about food. He has renewed his
previous commitment to buying locally to help invigorate
the city and a food culture he loves.
In 1999, Food & Wine magazine named John
Besh one of the “Top 10 Best Chefs in America.” In
2006, James Beard named Besh the “Best Chef, Southeast” and he was victorious as the first New Orleans Chef
to compete against Mario Batali on Food Network’s Iron
Chef. Gourmet has ranked Restaurant August 22nd in
its “Top 50 Restaurants in the United States” and Gayot
Travel Guide has named it a “Top 40 Restaurant in the
U.S.” He also recently received the Louisiana Restaurant Association’s 2008 Restaurateur of the Year award.
His restaurants in New Orleans are Restaurant August,
Besh Steak in Harrah’s New Orleans Casino, Lüke, and
La Provence.
Come join Chef Besh for a tasting of one of his favorite dishes!

Course #: RIVERBOAT - 5
Come Share the Magic with Chef Paul Prudhomme
Join world-famous Chef Paul Prudhomme for a cooking
demonstration and tasting. Chef Paul has propelled the distinctive cuisine of his native Louisiana into the international spotlight.
Chef Paul learned the importance of using the freshest
ingredients while cooking at his mother’s side and continues to
use only earth’s finest harvests. As the youngest of 13 children,
Chef Paul was always adventurous. His strong curiosity of life
and cultural customs motivated him to leave Louisiana in his
early 20’s and travel across the United States to experience every culinary environment possible. In July 1979, K-Paul’s Louisiana Kitchen® opened its
doors in New Orleans. In only a few years, his French Quarter
restaurant attracted world travelers and continues to excite diners today. Diners are especially pleased to learn that K-Paul’s
Louisiana Kitchen now takes reservations. Renovations were
completed at the restaurant at the end of 1996 doubling the seating capacity. K-Paul’s Catering division satisfies palates in New
Orleans and “anywhere on the planet!”

Dr. Bruce Small
Operative dentistry has been changing rapidly over the last few years. Recent changes in materials and techniques

including direct and indirect composite, amalgam, ceramic inlays and onlays of all types, including Cerec, amalgam and the
use of cast gold. Also, using 34 years of experience with porcelain veneers, Dr. Small will update you on the indications and

SPONSORED BY STRAUMANN
Dr. Frank Higginbottom
This program will review the philosophy of implant therapy today. Both tissue level and bone level implants are appropriate. The tissue level implant has been successful for years and has made implant restorative dentistry simple using a
cemented approach. Active implant surfaces and stable abutment connections impart very high predictability. Loading protocols have drastically changed through the years due to advances in surface technology. Through digital planning, placement,
impressions and CAD/CAM technology, improved, predictable and esthetic results can be achieved.

Dr. John West
Concerns about preventing instrument breakage, deciding when canals are ready for safe and successful rotary instrumentation and determining the appropriate rotary system are three subjects typically associated with rotary endodontics.
This hands-on-workshop will teach the knowledge and skills needed to address these concerns using the John West down-toearth approach of: “hear it, see it, do it and measure it.” This program will provide information that will immediately, dramatically and positively influence your endodontic performance and enjoyment.
Course Objectives:
• Consistently “follow” all canals to their foramen.
• Master the four distinctive manual motions used to make a “glide path.”
• Shape and finish with rotary instruments.
• Make a successful “cone fit” for 3-D obturation.
Participants should bring the following supplies to this course: six adult extracted teeth with ideal endodontic access cavities prepared, a pair of Iris scissors, your favorite gloves, ideal scrubs or casual wear, endodontic explorer and one pair cotton pliers.

currently available anesthetic formulations in Canada and the United States, their clinical differences and the more common
of the complications associated with their administration.
Specifically, attendees will have a better understanding of articaine HCI, the use of specific local anesthetics in improving the effectiveness of inferior alveolar nerve block and the recently approved (by the FDA in the United States) local

room numbers.
