Details of Sip Unlimited, the Sept. 10 Celebration of Kuan Lim

If you’re a food and wine enthusiast in the Shreveport-Bossier region, chances are good that you already know and love Kuan Lim. Lim is the friendly, welcoming proprietor of Lucky Palace, a gourmet Chinese restaurant in Bossier City that is widely known throughout the southern United States for its unbelievable collection of fine wines. Over the last year, Lim has endured some significant health challenges that have left many of his friends in the local restaurant industry wondering how they could help.

On Sunday, Sept. 10, 2-5 p.m., Sip UnLIMited: A Tribute to Kuan Lim will be held at Margaritaville Resort Casino Bossier City as a fundraiser for Lim. Tickets are $75 each and may be purchased here, and the official Facebook event is here. Full event details can be found on the Eventbrite ticketing page. Guests must be 21 or older.

From the time the event was first announced, I felt certain that the local restaurants and wine purveyors who stepped up to participate in this event would really “show out.” I was right about that.
