Once again, Bluewater Grill celebrates Mardi Gras and “Fat Tuesday” with March 2020 tasting events and month-long celebrations pairing the restaurants’ famously fresh sustainable seafood with savory flavors and hot spices from the Bayou.
The festivities begin with a March 10 “Taste of Louisiana” that combines California-inspired versions of Redfish, Gumbo and Crabcakes with specialized drinks designed to bring out the flavor and turn up the heat. Also featured are Bluewater Grill Oysters Rockefeller.
As part of the festivities, Bluewater bartenders will pour the New Orleans Fizz, also known as the Ramos Gin Fizz, created in the late 1800s by New Orleans favorite son Henry C. Ramos. As legend has it, the cocktail became so popular that by the 1915 Mardi Gras celebrations, Ramos’ 35 “shaker boys” had trouble keeping up with demand. Bartenders will demo the drink’s famous vigorous shaking ritual to give it its unique fizz.
The cost of pairing event, including the New Orleans Fizz pairing, is $45 per person, and reservations are required for seatings beginning at 6:30 p.m. Bluewater chefs will be available at each restaurant to discuss the culinary and recipe possibilities of Cajun and Creole cuisines.

Over the past few years, The Dustbowl Revival has been making a name for itself with a vibrant mix of vintage Americana sounds. Critics have proclaimed that this eclectic eight-piece would have sounded utterly at home within the hallowed confines of Preservation Hall in New Orleans’ French Quarter (Los Angeles Times) and their upbeat, old-school, All-American sonic safaris exemplify everything shows should be: hot, spontaneous, engaging and, best of all, a pleasure to hear (L.A. Weekly). Rob Sheffield, in Rolling Stone, hailed them as a great band whose Americana swing was so fun I went back to see them again the next day. Their new eponymous album, however, finds the Los Angeles-based ensemble evolving and refining its music. Their always-joyous sound now reveals a more soulful, funky side that exudes deeper emotions and taps a more modern vibe. This exhilarating new sound jumps out on the albums opening tracks, Call My Name and If You Could See Me Now. Drummer Joshlyn Heffernan and bassist James Klopfleisch lay down a righteous groove that trumpeter Matt Rubin and trombonist Ulf Bjorlin supercharge with their big blasts of horns. Featuring a guest spot by multi-Grammy-winner and fellow genre-bender Keb Mo, this track serves up a timeless slice of sweet, silky soul music. The evolution in the bands sound has been very much an organic one. Since Signature Sounds released their last album, With a Lampshade On, the Dustbowl Revival has been out on the road, winning over audiences with their free-flowing, joyous live performances. After playing more than 200 shows a year during the last four years, the Dustbowl Revival came to realize that they had outgrown the confining label of a retro-minded band playing music from a bygone era and needed to move in new directions. 2017 marks the tenth anniversary of The Dustbowl Revivals formation. It was back in 2007 when Lupetin, a Midwestern transplant to Los Angeles, posted an ad in Craigslist in hopes of creating a group inspired by brass band and string band traditions. Over the years, the group has been an inclusive outfit that frequently shifted in size before solidifying in its current eight-piece lineup. Website: https://www.dustbowlrevival.com
