Next Tuesday, June 15, chef Corbin Evans is teaching an intimate NOLA-style cooking class at Philly Kitchen Share (1514 South St., 267-808-0729) to benefit Southern Louisiana shrimpers affected by the Deepwater Horizon disaster. Evans, who in the pre-Katrina days owned two restaurants in New Orleans, will teach students the finer points of timeless regional dishes like gumbo, jambalaya and bananas foster; he also teases "a few surprises." The class starts at 6:30 p.m., costs $40 and it's open to 10 to 12 students. This isn't the first time Evans has cooked to benefit his boys in the Gulf; last summer, he organized a hell of a charity shrimp boil at Greensgrow Farms. That tremendous image of Louisiana shrimper Daron Wilson comes from photographer Michael M. Koehler's June 3 photo essay on the BP spill, which you can check out online here.
