I missed the Mardi Gras Tweet, so I had no idea I was in for 2-for-1 Hurricanes and special Cajun apps, including discounted gumbo accompanied by a crayfish fritter and fried oyster and a look-what-we-can-puree soup previously known as a side of sweet potato & andouille sausage hash. There were also complimentary beads at the U St. Corridor's year-old Eatonville (2121 14th St. NW) served alongside the $2 fresh corn bread, and the waitresses who were singing the praises of the marinated pan fried pork chop ($18, over wilted spinach, fingerling potatoes and green tomato chutney) and crispy chicken breast ($14, over garlic mashed potatoes, braised collard greens and mushroom gravy) were all masquerade masked and Bourbon Street bedecked.
