Downtown Aurora lights up every holiday season, and this year Touché French Creole added a major highlight of its own. The restaurant took first place in the Downtown Aurora Window Decorating Contest, earning recognition for a hand painted installation that turned heads all month. The winning design, created by Aurora artist Gin Ingram, features a winter cocktail surrounded by soft snowflakes. On November 24, Chef Keonte’ Tooles and Gin Ingram accepted the award at City Hall,

Specializing in French Creole cuisine including chef favorites like Louisiana Catfish, Bayou Crabcakes and Voodoo Tomatoes, Touché French Creole recently opened in downtown Aurora (6 N. River St., 331 300-2173).
