HEY, IF YOU WEAR A MASK TO THE MASQUERADE, NO ONE WILL KNOW THAT'S YOU PUTTING AWAY ALL THAT RA SUSHI ON FAT TUESDAY!
Is somebody going to snap a picture of that masked group devouring those Hot Mess rolls (yes, the "It's A Hot Mess" Flickr contest is in full swing) along with a few $5 Hur "RA" canes at RA Sushi's Fat Tuesday Mardi "RA" Masquerade Ball? Costumes and masks make for intriguing photos and might win the wearer a prize when costume judge Baton Bob, Atlanta's own "Ambassador of Mirth," picks the winner of a $100 RA gift certificate and other prize winners. RA has a whole slew of carnivale beverage specials lined up to go with those Hur "RA" canes including $5 TY KU cocktails, $2 hot sake, $3 domestic beer and more. Mardi "RA" starts at 8 p.m. on February 16 and parties on until closing with DJ Krillz's rock and roll, hip hop and Top 40 dance spins.
RA Sushi: 1080 Peachtree Street at 1010 Midtown; 404-267-0114.

SAINTS ALIVE! MARDI GRAS IS FLOWING FOR SIX WEEKS DURING MARLOW'S "BAYOU 'N BOURBON" CELEBRATION!
As Fat Tuesday shimmies in on February 16, Marlow's Tavern rolls out "Bayou 'n Bourbon," a six-week-long party on the menu rollicking with Deep South eats and libations that will set your inner Cajun free. Fat Tuesday night hoopla features the new menu, drink specials, a raffle drawing, party favors and a festive night of Bayou music. Take a look at the "Bayou 'n Bourbon" menu specials, and you'll see why Marlow's Executive Chef/Co-Founder John Metz anticipates lots of happy guests. Crescent City inspirations include roast chicken and shrimp gumbo ($6); fiery crawfish fondue served with crispy pita chips ($9); the "N.O. Style" po' boy that piles tempura-battered shrimp and crawfish, sweet slaw, lettuce and tomato on a soft Cuban roll with a douse of smoked chili cream ($10); and the bayou burger that heaps cheddar, crawdads, lettuce, tomato, red onion and house-made Creole mustard atop an andouille sausage and fresh ground beef burger ($10). Pecan-crusted Georgia Mountain trout with dirty rice, fresh spinach and red pepper crawfish cream ($14); deconstructed jambalaya ($13); and the sweet Bourbon Street ribeye, blackened then glazed with Maker's Mark ($25) provide three more entrée options. For dessert, there's honey bourbon bread pudding with vanilla crème brûlée, soaked ciabatta and a splash of Maker's Mark ($6). Marlow's New Orleans-style drinks (and they wish they had these on Bourbon Street) include Marlow's Sazerac, made with Sazerac Rye Whiskey, Obsello absinthe and whiskey barrel-aged bitters ($9); Ramos gin fizz, shaking up Plymouth gin, house-made sour, light cream and orange flower water ($7); the Cajun cosmo of Absolut Mango and Peppar, cranberry, triple sec and fresh lime ($8); and Abita Jockamo ($4), an IPA that tames those spicy dishes.
Marlow's also is looking to fatten the coffers of the Atlanta Community Food Bank (AFCB)! Starting on Fat Tuesday and running throughout the Marlow's "Bayou 'n Bourbon" promotion, you can add a donation for the ACFB to your tab. Every donation of $1 or more earns a bounce-back card of $5 off your next $15 Marlow's Tavern purchase.
