Celebrate Fat Tuesday at RA Sushi with “Mardi RA”
RA Sushi Bringing Taste of the Big Easy to SoMi

Don’t travel all the way to New Orleans to enjoy Mardi Gras! Instead, head over to RA Sushi in South Miami to close to celebrate its version of Fat Tuesday with “Mardi RA.” During the event, enjoy food and drink specials, festive décor and entertainment.

Get in the spirit by dressing in Mardi Gras attire and throwing on some colorful beads. A special guest D.J. will keep the crowd going all night long.

Take a bite out of the Big Easy with a variety of spicy food specials made just for the occasion. Mardi RA dishes include the Spicy Chicken and Shishito Green Necklace, a noodle dish tossed with chicken, green and red bell peppers, onion, garlic, chili sesame sauce, and shishito peppers, garnished with Sriracha and black sesame seeds ($7). The Chili Shrimp Roll is an amped up Viva Las Vegas Roll topped with spicy crab mix, crispy spicy shrimp, cilantro, jalapeno, and Sriracha ($8). Enjoy the Spicy Kalbi Beef, grilled beef short ribs marinated in a spicy black pepper soy sauce, served over grilled red and green bell peppers and onions ($9).

Tame the heat from these spicy dishes with two special cocktails that give a nod to New Orleans. Sip on a Southern Julep, made with Southern Comfort, Makers Mark, simple syrup and mint ($8), or cool down with a HurRAcane, featuring Southern Comfort, fresh fruit juices, lemon lime soda, simple syrup and grenadine ($8).

Stop in to RA Sushi in South Miami and enjoy one of these Southern spirits with a special twist, or mix one up at home for your own celebration.
