Celebrate this Fat Tuesday at downtown hot spot Mio in true New Orleans style. Enjoy the cuisine of NOLA and indulge with a night of eating, drinking and bawdiness as Executive Chef and Partner Nicholas Stefanelli creates a delicious four-course feast. This enticing menu is available all night for diners to enjoy at this vibrant locale's gastronomic fête.

To honor the resilience of New Orleans' cuisine and culture, Mio will donate a portion of the proceeds from their Fat Tuesday celebration to Make It Right Foundation (www.makeitrightnola.org); the New Orleans-based organization working to re-build safe and sustainable homes in the lower 9th Ward. Stefanelli is proud to help support this effort in restoring vitality and stability to the residents of this region. Celebratory toasts will kick-off the evening at Mio's sleek bar and lounge.

Special 'Hurricane' cocktails will be served all night long as an ode to the French Quarter's mainstay, ensuring a night of cheer and southern carryin' on. Guests can look forward to a bayou-inspired menu of Charbroiled Rappahannock River Oysters, Barbecue Shrimp with Potato Pancakes, Roasted Pork with Red Beans and Rice, and Beignets with a Coffee Chicory Milkshake ending the meal on a sweet note.
