Mardi Gras Celebration in Tampa

A special treat during our visit in Tampa, FL was the celebration of Mardi Gras. We had a four course meal including wines with each course. The chefs cooked as we ate. They gave us the recipes.

The meal was fabulous! The first course was the Grit Cakes w/ Shredded Cajun Chicken with a
Louis Jadot Beaujolais, the second course was Shrimp & Crab Etouffee over Rice with a Benzinger Chardonnay, the third course was a Cajun Surf & Turf, Sauteed Okra, and Roasted Potatoes with
Marques de Caceras Crianza Rioja, and, last but not least, my favorite, Banana Fosters Crepe Cake
with Santa Rita Secret Red Blend...this was to die for!

                       Chef Alan...a man after my own heart...can cook & has a sense of humor
