“Le mobile Mardi Gras”
You can take the New Orleanian out of Mardi Gras, but you can’t take Mardi Gras out of the New Orleanian.

For Mardi Gras, some order four king cakes, others import 40 pounds of crawfish and still others adapt their favorite recipes to local ingredients. For more info and tasty recipes, check out an article I wrote for the Associated Press!
