Live Oak Café
Mardi Gras 2012 Menu
Soup
Turtle Soup
Louisiana classic, with just a hint of sherry.
Right out of the bayou, anything less and you’ll think you’re sitting at Brennan’s
Appetizers
Wash Day
Slow simmered red beans and rice with just the right touch of tasso ham, garnished with grilled andouille and boudin sausages.
(Watch out for the “Green Gator” or you’ll think its still Monday too)
Cajun Sampler
Buttermilk marinated frog legs and cornmeal dusted oysters, deep fried to perfection and served with a classic Remoulade dipping sauce
