Mardi Gras Menu

Let the good times roll on Fat Tuesday with this celebratory Mardi Gras menu. Crayfish à la Bordelaise This classic Creole recipe is the perfect starter to any Emerald City homage. If you can't find crayfish, substitute shrimp and adjust the cooking time accordingly. Old-School Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya JBF Award winner Donald Link, chef and owner of Cochon and Herbsaint, prepares this Cajun-style jambalaya by caramelizing the meat and onions and cooking the rice in a rich, reduced stock. Orange Blossom Beignets Orange blossom water adds a hint of Basque flavor to this quintessential New Orleans dessert. Café Brûlot End the meal with demitasse cups of this flaming, boozy coffee from chef Brian Landry of the legendary Galatoire's restaurant.
