This past weekend Long Law Firm participated in the annual Belly up with the Bar, hosted by the Baton Rouge Bar Association. This event not only provided an incredible opportunity to spend time with our colleagues in the Baton Rouge legal community, but it also raised nearly $40,000 for the Bar Foundation’s youth education programs.

This year, we were honored to take home the awards for Best Grub 2nd Place for our deconstructed pulled pork sandwich and Best Cocktail for our vodka infused dill pickle brine shot. A huge thank you to all our team members, and a special shoutout to Valerie and Trey Bargas of Honey’s of LA for taking our food and drink to the next level.

We cannot wait to be back again next year for a great event and a great cause.
