YEAH! I have never been to Mandina's though. My in-laws love to eat at Short Stop when they come to visit. They live north of Houston, TX now but grew up in the New Orleans area and moved away when my DH was in high school. They always come down for Mardi Gras and we all ride in a truck float on Mardi Gras day.
Wow that is so cool. My family has always said they are going to do that one day, but no one ever does. I rode once in a city day parade and it was a blast ! Since having the kids we usually do Lee Circle the Saturday before and skip the whole Fat Tuesday thing. I can remember a time when I wouldn't miss Mardi Gras for the world.
I think Mandina's is open again. Try the gumbo ... with a Barq's of course !
