You could call Mardi Gras Restaurant a party for the palate. The proprietors describe their menu as a bridge between Creole, Cajun-American and Southern cuisine. The house special, a generous plate full of beans and white rice surrounded by two sausage links cut lengthwise ($9.95), straddles that bridge with spicy aplomb.
The piquant cured meat fits perfectly with the combination of hearty grain and legumes that is customary to such hot spots. Sides fare well, too: The cooked cabbage holds a distinct sweetness in its hearty leaves, and the sweet potatoes
aren't overly candied, which brings out more of the natural sumptuousness.
Along with jambalaya, gumbo, po-boy sandwiches and other specialties, Mardi
Gras Restaurant offers a full breakfast menu reminiscent of Louisiana and other points below the Mason-Dixon.
