A Mardi Gras celebration awaits in St. Joseph

Instead of heading South for Mardi Gras, a celebration awaits just northwest of the Twin Cities. Krewe Restaurant is bringing the heritage of New Orleans to downtown St. Joseph. They’re hosting a Fat Tuesday buffet with live music starting at 5pm on the 21st. Jambalaya, gumbo and red beans are the core staples and they’re made from Chef Mateo Mackbee’s family recipes going back three generations. Chef Mateo is a native of Bloomington but his family is from New Orleans.
