During this time, he cooked and dined extensively through the French, Italian, and English countrysides, drawing inspiration from diverse culinary traditions and regional specialties.In 2018, Drake opened Eunice, named after his hometown, to critical acclaim. While artfullyblending Louisiana flavors with refined European techniques he earned a Best New Restaurant nomination, a three-star review from James Beard Award-winning critic Alison Cook, and was named a Rising Star Chef by StarChefs.
