To mark the New Orleans Mardi Gras, the French term for ”Fat Tuesday” and the biggest day of the New Orleans calendar, on Sunday February 16 Joe’s is hosting its own party outdoors and in style. There’ll be no gaudy parade floats or breast-flashing tourists, instead Joe’s is bringing you jazz funk and sweet authentic grub. Mardi Gras is all about overindulging; expect jambalaya, Cajun canty corn and po’boys a plenty.
Then on President’s Day, Tuesday February 18, Joe’s will host a special menu honouring the accomplishments and reputation of America’s most renowned past leaders. The menu includes Barack Obama’s “Healthcare Burger” with smoked eggplant, pickled beetroot, tomato, mushroom, pumpkin puree, romaine lettuce, George W Bush’s “Dubya Bush Burger” with kangaroo, emu, raspberry relish, smoked bell pepper, lemon myrtle mayo, Monteray jack cheese, mustard cress, Bill Clinton’s “Prawn Monica Burger” with prawns, oysters, asparagus, arugula, basil, guacamole, gruyere, Richard Nixon’s “I am not a crook burger” with angus beef patty, dill pickles, watergate cress, onion jam, maple smoked bacon, lettuce, Monterey jack cheese and John F Kennedy’s “Bay of Pigs Burger” with pulled pork shoulder, candied bacon, pork crackling, lettuce and “We choose to go to the moon” cheese.
