Global Cuisine Cooking Lessons: Fat Tuesday with Harold & Belle’s

February 16, 2021 | 5:00PM - 6:00PM

LA’s famous Harold & Belle’s restaurant has been serving authentic Louisiana Creole Cuisine for over 50 years; Zagat declares that you’d “have to drive to Louisiana to do better.” Join the Fowler and Ryan Legaux, owner and chef of Harold & Belle’s, to celebrate Fat Tuesday the most appropriate way—with food! “Fat Tuesday,” or Mardi Gras, is perhaps best known in the U.S. as part of the Carnival in New Orleans. The phrase refers to the last night before Lent, when observant Christians can indulge in rich, fatty foods prior to a period of fasting. Don’t sleep on this chance to learn how to make jambalaya, the ultimate Creole dish traditionally consumed on Fat Tuesday. Ingredients list will be sent upon RSVP. Come with supplies prepared and ready to cook!
