Ya’ll it’s Fat Tuesday! Eat!

The holiday is called Fat Tuesday for a reason. Enjoy all the delicious food of the season before a presumed period of austerity begins. We loved Harold and Belle’s — one of the original restaurants serving up Creole food in LA for over 40 years. Plus, the family recently opened up their newly renovated space, which is beautiful and worth a visit for the holiday or anytime. Enjoy favorites like gumbo, jambalaya and Po’ Boys of every variety. Gulf Oysters, anyone? There is plenty of street parking around but Harold and Belle’s also provides the convenience of valet.
