Chef Paul Turano of Tryst Restaurant in Arlington, MA Collaborates with New Orleans Chefs & Restaurants for Authentic Mardi Gras Dinner Celebration!
It’s Mardi Gras in New England which generally means restaurants will be adding the word “Creole” and “Cajun” in front of dishes on menus everywhere. However, Chef Paul Turano, chef/owner of Tryst restaurant in Arlington, MA, has taken it upon himself to bring authenticity to his special prix fixe Mardi Gras dinner.
Chef Turano has been communicating with the New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corporation (NOTMC) and the Louisiana Restaurant Association (LRA) to pull together a menu that will feature authentic Louisiana cuisine and will offer guests a true Mardi Gras dining experience in New England.
Turano’s Mardi Gras menu will feature dishes replicated from some of New Orleans best chefs and restaurants including: chef Vincent “Vinny” Russo, executive chef of M bistro at The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans; chef Dickie Brennan, owner and operator of Palace Café and the Bourbon House; and chef Phil de Gruy, chef/owner of Phil’s Grill.
