My wife really wanted to do a Mardi Gras celebration at our restaurant and brewery. So - I said - you come up with the decorations and what happens out front and I will take care of the menu.

So here you go. We offered true N.O. style Jambalaya, Gumbo, Shrimp boil, Cajun Steamed Oysters, Dirty Rice, Corn Maque Choux, and King Cake.

My main thing was that I was not going to do anything that wasn't authentic. I'm pretty picky so finding the ingredients and pulling it off was pretty hectic. But I had a blast doing it. As it turned out, I had no idea how many people in the area were either from Cajun territory or had been there many times. I knew I was keeping to tradition but didn't know how many people around here would recognize it.

Probably my best feedback was from these two ladies who were born and raised in Louisiana. Their comment was that "they finally were able to get their fix". Love it.

So here are some pics.

You have no idea. I was running - not walking though. Just trying to get all the stuff to pull this off was a fair bit of half fast walkin'.

Stu has some beads on and the thought of how he earned them is frightening.

You should have seen me by the end of the night. I'm such a slut.:sneaky:

BTW - those are Rams beads from the SB in NO. Unfortunately, I didn't go and get them myself.

Good to see you're sporting the Rams gear at every possible occasion Stu.
Also love the vest. It looks like it's straight out of an 80's gameshow :D

One our favorites. In fact, you can keep the tail. Give me that fried head. Am I getting the vibe we will be hitting a Sushi joint when we get there?
