Three Rivers’ annual Mardi Gras Cajun Feast features an ALL NEW menu this year! Of course, some things remain the same: it will still be a five-course extravanganza of Cajun food, and a 3RB beer and a wine has been specially chosen to complement and/or contrast with the flavor, texture, and richness of each course. Woohoo! The wines are from National Distributing and should be delicious! So, without further ado, here are the particulars:

What: Traditional Cajun Feast with Games and a Mask Contest
When: Tuesday, February 16, 6:30 PM
Where: Three Rivers Banquet Hall
Cost: $40 for 5 courses of food and paired beers/wines

And just to get you salivating, here’s our ALL NEW menu:

COURSE 1:
Andouille Sausage and Hot Pepper Stew
Andouille sausage and hot banana peppers rendered in a rich dark broth and served with sourdough bread.
Beer Pairing: Papa Bear’s Golden Honey Ale
Wine Pairing: August Kesseler Pinot Noir Rosé

COURSE 2:
Jambalaya en Croute
Chef Keith’s twist on this Bayou classic: spicy chicken, sausage, shrimp, and peppers wrapped in a puff pastry and served on a Beurre Blanc Sauce.
Beer Pairing: Chaco Nut Brown Ale
Wine Pairing: Bex Riesling

COURSE 3:
Crawfish Etoufee
A traditional Creole Mirepoix stuffed with crawdad tail meat and served over Jasmine rice (made with a dark roux).
Beer Pairing: What the Helles? Munich-style Lager

COURSE 4:
The Cajun Boil
3RB’s take on a Louisana tradition. Red potatoes, corn on the cob, mushrooms, Andouille sausage, mussels, clams, shrimp, crawfish, and snow crab legs all tossed in our Cajun spices, and accompanied by a dipping tri-fecta: a sweet BBQ sauce, a garlic butter, and a tangy Dijon sauce.
Beer Pairing: IPA
Wine Pairing: 7 Heavenly Chards (Chardonnay)

COURSE 5:
Beignets
New Orleans’ version of the doughnut. Fresh, hot, and crispy sweet, you’d swear you were on Bourbon Street. Served over fresh berries and with a fresh berry couluis.
Beer Pairing: Rasputin’s Imperial Stout
Wine Pairing: Warres Otima 10-Year Tawny Port (subject to change)

3RB’s creative chef, Keith Inman, can’t wait for you to taste his masterpieces, and frankly, we can’t wait to taste them either! We’re very excited about this new menu, and how well the beers pair with each course. So come join us for a culinary feast in the Louisana traditional!
