Here are all Mardi Gras-related entries

Six Days Until Mardi Gras The parades have emphatically taken over the streets of New Orleans, and with them comes the street food. Here is my annual appeal that we have more New Orleans food out there, and less of the kind of stuff you'd see at the state livestock fair in Nebraska. More andouille, crawfish bread, boudin, and fried shrimp. Fewer funnel cakes, Polish sausage sandwiches, and cotton candy. All the restaurants with stands and packages for dining and parade watching are running those programs at full tilt. They get a little more expensive every night, as the parades get better and more densely attended.
