They'll have their daily specials up on the internet the day of. No reservations taken on Fat Tuesday. Enjoy

Just an update;
Chuck posted his MENU for the day, and it looks great. Especially "**Mardi Gras sampler platter—we start you out with our soup shots (crteam of poblano, red beans and rice, and chicken potato chowder) then a small fried shrimp remoulade salad, then the main course a sampler plate with penne magnifique, seafood jambalaya, filet mignon w/ bordelaise sauce, and baked mac and cheese. This sampler was incredible last year, it will have you whistling jazz tunes the rest of the week! . . . .$17.95 This platter may change for dinner Call for details!! " Way to go, Chuck!

Maybe LTH should have a Fat Tuesday party some year. Oh, wait ...

Thanks again,PaulnHolly
