Don’t travel all the way to New Orleans to enjoy Mardi
Gras! Instead, head over to RA Sushi in Leawood on Tuesday, February 12 from 7
p.m. to close to celebrate their version of Fat Tuesday with “Mardi RA.” During
the event, enjoy food and drink specials, festive décor and
entertainment.
Get in the spirit by dressing in Mardi Gras attire and
throwing on some colorful beads. A special guest D.J. will keep the crowd going
all night long.
Take a bite out of the Big Easy with a variety of
spicy food specials made just for the occasion. Mardi RA dishes include the
Spicy Chicken and Shishito Green Necklace, a noodle dish tossed with chicken,
green and red bell peppers, onion, garlic, chili sesame sauce, and shishito
peppers, garnished with Sriracha and black sesame seeds ($7). The
Chili Shrimp Roll is an amped up Viva Las Vegas Roll topped with spicy crab
mix, crispy spicy shrimp, cilantro, jalapeno, and Sriracha ($8). Enjoy the Beef
Kushiyaki, three beef skewers with green and red bell peppers and onion, tossed
in teriyaki sauce ($9).
Tame the heat from these spicy dishes with two special
cocktails that give a nod to New Orleans. Sip on a Southern Julep, made with
Southern Comfort, Makers Mark, simple syrup and mint ($8), or cool down with a
HurRAcane, featuring Southern Comfort, fresh fruit juices, lemon lime soda,
simple syrup and grenadine ($8).
Stop in to RA in Park Place for Mardi RA and enjoy one
of these Southern spirits with a special twist, or mix one up at home for your
own celebration.
