Fat Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday, also called Mardi Gras or Shrove Tuesday. It is a day when people eat and drink in excess in preparation for Lent, the 40-day Christian tradition of penitence from Ash Wednesday to Easter.
And there will be plenty of eating and drinking, not to mention masquerade masks and feather boas for guests to don, at this traditional New Orleans' style party!
The evening will be a raucous, roving feast, encouraging guests to roam about the restaurant to sample traditional New Orleans’ style foods prepared by Executive Chef/Owners Mitchell and Steven Rosenthal:
• Fresh Crawfish
• Raw Bar with Louisiana & California Oysters
• Gumbo and Jambalaya Stations
• Etouffée
• Fried Chicken
• Abita Beer, Wine, Caipirinhas and N'awlins Fare Hurricanes, a cocktail synonymous with Mardi Gras
Beads and doubloons will festoon the restaurant, and the feet tapping sounds of D'Amphibians, a New Orleans Dixie band, will play throughout the night + Samba Dancers!
