Most prominently featured around Mardi Gras, Jambalaya is a true representation of indulgence before fasting. Fat Tuesday celebrates the immoderation of rich foods and sinful activities before enduring the long season of Lent, so Jambalaya’s goodness was presented in excess to prepare those for the solemn six weeks ahead of them. Thankfully, we don’t have to be religious to celebrate Mardi Gras and enjoy the delicious decadence of Jambalaya. Which brings the question, what are you doing for Fat Tuesday this year? If you know what’s good for you, you’ll be joining Torch Club’s Mardi Gras Second Line Parade on March 4th! The parade begins at Mulvaney’s at 4 p.m., then marches down to LowBrau for some drinks and finishes at Torch Club for Jambalaya (just $5) and the great music of Lew Fratis and Friends. Peter Petty, Dana Moret, Stacie Eakes and Elements Brass Band will be playing music to lead the parade along the way. Grab your friends and family members, but leave the kids at home, and join us in green, yellow and purple for one hell of a Mardi Gras celebration.
