Fat Tuesday

Throughout the year, shipments of live crawfish arrive at Fat Tuesday's doorstep. Newspapers spread across tables, customers pull up their sleeves, and baskets of boiled crawfish and corn arrive from the kitchen before the crack of snapping shells resounds through the restaurant.

In between their regular crawfish boils, the kitchen crew members whip up what they refer to as a "small but mighty" daily menu of Cajun specialties. Cooks layer poboys with fried alligator, oysters, and catfish, and pots of seafood gumbo and crawfish étouffée simmer on stovetops. Plates pair with Cajun craft beers beneath glimmering purple, yellow, and green streamers throughout the New Orleans–themed dining room. Testing their patrons’ stomach capacities, the chefs challenge them to the occasional poboy-eating contest. The contestants must polish off a 2-foot-long poboy within 40 minutes while simultaneously whistling the sous chef's favorite blues song.

The Groupon Guide to: Rhyming Sayings about Musical Genres

Everyone knows Duke Ellington’s famous lyrical throwing down of the gauntlet: “It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing.” But what most people don’t know is that every genre of music has since answered Mr. Ellington’s assertion. Here are their rhymes:

  • “If the music’s not punk, it’s stupid boring junk."
  • “If it ain’t rock ‘n’ roll, throw it in toilet bowl."
  • “Music not classical is certainly crass, not droll."
  • “If it ain’t Afro-Caribbean jazz, don’t expect razzmatazz."
  • “If it isn’t dubstep, * the sound of computers from the '80s falling down some stairs onto many scared dogs *."
  • “If it ain’t post-industrial Nordic death metal, it is a baby’s sadness."(translated from Norwegian)

In Norwegian proverbs, most things are compared to a baby’s sadness.
