Fat Tuesday Favorites at Union Street Public House
Southern inspired dishes and flavors of NOLA
Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) is on March 5th, 2019. Mardi Gras, or "Fat Tuesday," is the last day of the Carnival season as it always falls the day before Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. For those who can’t be in The Big Easy for the celebrations, a taste of NOLA is available at Union Street Public House in Old Town Alexandria.
Chef Jeremy Waybright offers a unique Cajun dish - Yakamein AKA Yock AKA Old Sober is Cajun beef broth, shaved ribeye, soy sauce, scallion, hard-boiled egg and noodles ($15) and a Fried Oyster Po Boy - local oysters, garlic butter, shredded lettuce, remoulade, fries, on a soft roll ($16.) His classic version of the Crescent City’s signature Gumbo ($21) and flavorful BBQ Shrimp ($13) with grilled bread to sop up every bit of the dish’s delicious buttery, Creole-spiced sauce is also on the menu and available daily. Match these dishes with a Sazerac from the restaurant’s Whiskey Bar featuring over 240 fine Whiskeys, or a cocktail, beer or wine from Union Street Public House’s main bar.
An alumna of restaurants such as Bryan Voltaggio’s Range, and former executive chef of Boss Shepherd’s, Chef Waybright has honed his skills in Southern inspired cuisine utilizing local ingredients.
