New Orleans (KPLC)
Chefs from 11 states gathered in New Orleans this weekend for a little competition in the kitchen.
Each year, chefs from throughout the country serve up their best dish before a live audience - representing their state and their home seafood.
Chef Alex Eaton of The Manship from Jackson Mississippi was crowned the 2016-2017 King of American Seafood Saturday.
"I actually spent some time cooking in New Orleans so I had to do a shoutout with a BBQ shrimp in the middle," said Eaton.
