Bourbon ‘n Toulouse’s annual and anticipated Fat Tuesday party will begin at 11 a.m. Feb. 12.
This will be the ninth year the cajun restaurant has hosted the fete.
For the festivities, revelers can relish a special batch of alligator etouffee, slices of king cake and 700 pounds of crawfish, delivered live from Louisiana the morning of the celebration. The crawfish boil begins at 6:30 p.m. For entertain- ment, The Mojo Tones will play at 6 p.m., followed by The Tall Boys at 9 p.m.
The Chevy Chase Inn and Beer Trappe, both located in close proximity to Bourbon n’ Toulouse, will also open at 11 a.m. and will be available to diners for additional places to sit, and revel.
Following the party, Bourbon ‘n Toulouse will be closed until Feb. 16. “We do over two weeks worth of business in 12 hours and our staff will consume 12-months worth of booze that day,” said co-owner Kevin Heathcoat. “We need a few extra days to sober up and clean this place up.”
