It's about time to begin the Mardi Gras season, and those culinary wizards of 2 Dine 4 are heralding the goodness at the very start of the year. How about some deviled eggs with pickled shrimp, char-grilled oysters, lump crab cake with mixed greens, duck-and-sausage gumbo, herb-roasted pork tenderloin, potatoes au gratin, and more – with a praline King Cake from Sawyer & Co. for dessert? The best answer is to join a communal table and make new friends or bring your own intimate circle to celebrate together.
