Susan Spicer Booking Agency Profile
Since 1979, Susan Spicer has played a significant role in the New Orleans restaurant scene. However, it was her 1990 opening of Bayona, with its fusion of European, Asian, North African and American flavors and its cozy setting in the French Quarter, that first garnered national attention. Spicer won a James Beard Foundation Award for Best Chef/Southeast area and Bayona was inducted into the Nation's Restaurant News Hall of Fame. Spicer became a symbol of what contemporary New Orleans cuisine tasted like when she opened the French American cafe Herbsaint (together with other partners, including chef Donald Link).
Spicer was so vibrant and well-known that David Simon, the man behind the HBO drama Treme, modelled his show's passionate culinary protagonist Janette Desautel on her. Spicer also worked as a consultant for Treme. She also made an appearance on NCIS: New Orleans season 2 as herself.
Spicer adds that when she was younger, she used to make sweet crêpes for her brother and herself on Saturday mornings or "roll-up pancakes" according to her mother. She also developed her skills in French cooking when working as Chef Daniel Bonnot's apprentice at the Louis XVI Restaurant in New Orleans while working in Parisian kitchens and in her first two restaurants, Savoir Faire (St. Charles Hotel) and the Bistro at Maison de Ville..

The final Susan Spicer booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will Susan Spicer charge for an event. An example fee to book Susan Spicer is in the starting range of $15,000-$24,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the Susan Spicer agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The Susan Spicer manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book Susan Spicer for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the Susan Spicer agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Susan Spicer, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the Susan Spicer booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for Susan Spicer, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
