Go Big or Go Home

Today marks the beginning of the end of the most gluttonous and debaucherous seven week stretch that most of us have ever lived through. And hasn't it been glorious?

If you are looking for a way to go out with a bang, look no further than the trifecta of filet mignon, foie gras, and bearnaise. This specimen came from Galatoire's, but any restaurant is likely more than willing to create this concoction if the kitchen is stocked accordingly.

Too much too soon, you say? Nonsense. If there is one characteristic which native New Orleanians are known for, it's stamina. So don't hold back this weekend, because the last time I checked, Lent doesn't start till Wednesday.

Finish strong.
