Creole cooking combines Old and New World cuisines in a good-spirited atmosphere, unlike a food fight in the United Nations cafeteria. Taste hearty unity with today's Groupon to Broussard's. Choose between the following options:
- For $30, you get $60 worth of creole cuisine and drinks for a minimum of two people.
- For $39, you get $90 worth of creole cuisine and drinks for a minimum of four people.
Broussard's accommodating servers shepherd platters of succulent seafood, steaming soups, and decadent desserts from the creole-infused menu onto the tables of eager diners. Experienced chefs fry oysters Broussard, which then settle on a sumptuous divan of crabmeat, artichoke brie, and beurre blanc ($15) with the marine delicacy of a swordfish dentist. Creole-spice-crusted rib eye ($34) paints itself with sherry-vinegar steak sauce, roasted-shallot garlic butter, and tri-pepper relish before hitting the grill. Revel in the Redfish Broussard's ($29), pan-fried with étouffée studded with shrimp, crabmeat, oyster, and mushrooms. Crêpes Broussard ($8.50) twirl strawberry-sauce ribbons before somersaulting into a nest of cream cheese and brandy-pecan stuffing like a sleepy Oompa Loompa.
The restaurant's ornate 19th century building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and festooned with columns, chandeliers, and tributes to Emperor Napoleon. A fountain accompanies contented sighs released in the courtyard dining area with a soothing thrum as diners gaze upon the sprawling wine list.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: The Ultimate Snowman
Any fool with a pair of mittens can construct a passable facsimile of a human out of powdered frozen vapor, but it takes a true Picasso of precipitation to create a frosty masterwork. Follow these tips to create a snow sculpture that will endure forever, unless the temperature rises even slightly:
• Stack ‘em High: While traditional snowmen are comprised of three snowy spheroids stacked in ascending size for a more stable base and welcoming maternal curves, there’s no reason to stop there. Continue adding snowballs until your snowman is a gently tapering caterpillar towering gingerly into lower orbit—then decorate its face using a remote-controlled helicopter.
• Don’t Mess with a Classic: Carrot noses were introduced in the 1600s to ridicule Guy Fawkes, a famous waster of then-precious vegetables. Keep his legacy alive today by shoving a carrot into your snowman’s face. If unavailable due to rabbit plagues or juicing fads, just steal a traffic cone from your nearest miniature village.
• Attain Anatomical Accuracy: Keep your snowman’s proportions frighteningly human by having a friend volunteer to act as an armature for you to pack snow onto. He belongs to winter now.
