Where to celebrate Fat Tuesday

• Facebook: B.B.’s
• B.B.’s regularly serves Cajun cuisine.

Today is Fat Tuesday — the chance to forget all your troubles in good music, spicy food and new friends. It’s not quite Bourbon Street, but we do have bourbon here in Kansas City, and the folks in the Old West were right: It cures a lot of ills. A big old plate of red beans and rice or a bowl of gumbo doesn’t hurt, either. So, let yourself celebrate, even if you don’t have to repent on Ash Wednesday.
