Mardi Gras 2012

I like holidays that center around food. A lot. President’s Day would have sincerely more traction if there was some sort of ceremonial cheeseburger tradition. With fries. You know it would be big. Huge, even. But, instead, we get furniture store sales. Ho. Freaking. Hum.

But Mardi Gras is a different story. We get Gumbo and Jambalaya. Ettouffee and Oysters Rockefeller. Bread Pudding and King Cake. Now that’s what I call a holiday. Throw in a healthy dose of beads, masks, and large fruity drinks and it becomes a party. And in New Orleans, it becomes a way of life. Laissez les bons temps rouler. Well, we couldn’t agree more. So, during the week of February 19th, Acme is going to celebrate all things Mardi Gras. Crab Gumbo, Beignets, and a Hurricane, anyone? Show us your … good taste. Exactly. Show us your damn good taste. Fat Tuesday at Acme. Almost heaven. Definitely Carrboro.
