Mardi Gras parades start to roll in earnest all over the state this weekend. If you're visiting and aren't familiar with the protocol, here are a few tips to keep in mind. First, check the parade route, and make sure you and your car don't get stuck on the wrong side of the parade. My neighborhood gets boxed in on all four sides; thankfully, there are some grocery options inside the box, but I try to get provisions in early so I don't have to fight traffic.

Next, ask around about local customs. There are areas along most parade routes that are very family-focused; if you're wanting a rowdier experience, you'll want to find a different location.

Secure your wallet and valuables. Just like you would in any crowded venue.

Here in New Orleans, the street cars don't run on St. Charles when parades are rolling down St. Charles, and don't be tempted to board one that is running with a frosty beverage. Food and drink prohibited.

And, a little insider knowledge, if you do get stuck in traffic on Highway 90, trying to get into the French Quarter, go ahead and cross the river, turn around via the Stumpf exit, and come back across. There's rarely any traffic coming in that direction.

Tonight, (Feb. 13) there is an “Oysters 4 the Coast” event and fundraiser at Superior Seafood here in New Orleans. Tickets are $44: 4 beers, 4 wines, 4 oysters, 5 to 9 PM. This is the kickoff event for the New Orleans Oyster Festival that will be held at the end of May.

Chef Darin Nesbit cooked this on a cooking demonstration stage I produced years ago; it's fast and delicious. Make the crust from scratch as directed here, or use two prepared shells from the refrigerator aisle.
