Carnival at Commander's & Greasing of the Poles!
Show Notes

It's Mardi Gras Baby!! Gosh this escalated quickly! 
No where in the country will you find the cultural electricity that New Orleans has oozing from her streets that rises up to each ironclad balcony! 
The Live Oaks all slip into a little something a little more flashy-  bedazzled and sparkling like  fancy ladies decked out for a Broadway show. 
Experiencing what Mardi Gras is like during Deep Gras is something to behold at least once in your life! For real, y’all.
And this show is dedicated to all of the locals that dive into this festive pool every Carnival Season.  

I knew our Mardi Gras Show had to be lit. How does one find the perfect Mardi Gras guests? Well this episode will letcha' know, baby!

First, we welcome back to the show, My Pal, Mrs. Ti Martin, Co-Owner of LEGENDARY Commander's Palace. She makes me laugh so hard! Gosh I love her! She shares the delicious desserts created by her pastry chef AND  again,  just like last year, She unloads HUUUUGE NEWS!!
Right next to Commander's is their BRAND NEW CRÊPERIE called Le Petit Bleu. We were lucky to get a virtual tour and you can find it on our Instagram page @nolapapa. 
The fresh vibes mixed with classic looks definitely elevates it's adorably chic cafe! 
Find Le Petit Bleu at 1427 Washington Ave. (504) 2070-1343.

Then later we welcome the WINNER of last year's Greasing of the Poles at the 
Royal Sonesta! Each year, a celebratory contest is held on Bourbon Street to help ring in the wild season! WGNO Meteorologist, Brooke Laizer, WINNER of last year's contest joins me to talk about ALL THINGS GREASERS! 
What was her angle to take home the 4th WIN by WGNO? She breaks it all down! She also tells us what inspired her to become a meteorologist and her answer is absolutely adorable.  
I hope all that can celebrate has an awesome and safe time! 
Happy Mardi Gras!
