Mardi Gras, French for “Fat Tuesday,” is traditionally a day to celebrate the last night of eating rich, fatty foods before the Christian Lenten season, characteristic of ritual fasting, which begins on Ash Wednesday. I mean, if you’re going to fast for the next 40 days, throwing a party to get all of your favorite indulgences in before you make the commitment makes perfect sense, right?!

And in the United States, New Orleans is commonly associated with Mardi Gras where their annual tradition of parades and parties and general merriment inspires us all.
