The History of Our Cassoulet War

Since 2014, this epic D’Artagnan event has been held in New York City annually. What is cassoulet – and why have a war about it?

Cassoulet is a rustic dish from the Southwest France, consisting of white beans and a variety of preserved meats that are cooked together for hours to make a thick and hearty stew. You might be forgiven for thinking it’s essentially chili with a French accent – unless you are talking to a native of region. There, the cassoulet is an iconic dish that inspires competition between villages who all believe their version is the one true cassoulet.

In that spirit, D’Artagnan gathers 20 or more chefs to do battle in a friendly competition we call the Cassoulet War. Each brings their best cassoulet and doles out bowls of ambrosia, hoping to earn the top title, a place in cassoulet history, and eternal bragging rights.
