February 17, 2015: Fat Tuesday

Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras or Carnevale

Whatever you call it – Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras or Carnevale – it all means the same thing….

Lent begins tomorrow and this is your last chance to indulge your appetites (whatever they may be) before repenting for your transgressions (whatever they may be). It’s a Catholic thing…..

There will be no shortage of revelry around the South Bay today – Ragin Cajun will be celebrating Mardi Gras Cajun style; Hosteria Piave will bid farewell to Carnevale with traditional Venetian cuisine and masquera; and Baja Sharkeez Hermosa will offer ‘beads for deeds’ in traditional Fat Tuesday style.
