Laissez Foure at Bayou Bakery's Katrina 10

Bayou Bakery in Courthouse is throwing a party to celebrate 10 years of New Orleans recovering from Hurricane Katrina in 2005 on Saturday August 29. The Katrina 10 event is from 5-7pm and Jazz quartet Laissez Foure is providing the live music. The celebration of recovery includes New Orleans style food and drink and an open mic for guests sharing their own Katrina story.

That day also kicks off our week-long Charity Book Sale, continuing until Sept. 5 with all proceeds from copies of DamGoodSweet sold going to The Roots of Music. Children are the future and this nonprofit provides youths with musical education and instruments while preserving New Orleans culture through music.

Bayou Bakery on Fat Tuesday

Last Tuesday, many locals thought Bayou Bakery in Courthouse was the ideal place to start their Mardi Gras celebration. The New Orleans themed restaurant was packed around 7pm, with the line wrapping around and almost going out the door.

I really enjoyed the "Bayou Gras" menu, as the gumbo and jambalaya I tried was tasty. But the portions were small for the $7 each price, so it wasn't a very filling meal. Although Bayou started winning me back with the delicious King Cake (no babies inside these slices) and orange rum drinks. They stayed open until 10:30 pm to feed those who exhausted themselves shouting for beads at the Clarendon Parade that night.

Also it was nice running into fellow blogger Legs from Steak and Legs! Check out her blog for more local food reviews.
