Food | Bourbon Street for Lent

 Shrimp & Grits- White hominy cheddar grits with buttered Cajun shrimp, tomatillo pico de gallo and fresh cilantro

Grilled Salmon with Lemon Caper Sauce- Blackened with a lemon caper sauce then served with dirty rice and seasonal veggies 

You may have read my Destination Irvine piece on the restaurant Bourbon Street for Mardi Gras celebrations, and I'm excited to share some of my faves from the restaurant as well as the culinary delights that will be Lent-friendly during the entire month of March!

Lent is a religious holiday observed during a period of time leading up to Easter where fasting and abstinence takes place. Fasting minimizes the quantity of food intake and abstinence is not eating meat. The rule of thumb is usually smaller and simpler food; a light breakfast, one full meal and one half meal each fast day.

So for that one full meal, try an exciting dish over at Bourbon Street in Downtown Fullerton! The lent-friendly menu includes Blackened Sole ($17), Grilled Salmon with Lemon Caper Sauce ($18), Shrimp & Grits ($14), and VooDoo Shrimp ($19)! I had the pleasure of enjoying the Grilled Salmon and Shrimp & Grits, and out of the two I would have to say I enjoyed the Shrimp & Grits the most due to it's cheesy goodness and zesty and tangy flavors. If you are not going for a Lenten meal, enjoy other Bourbon Street faves; Louisiana Fries, Bruschetta, Beignets (the server said that the Bananas Foster is also UH-MAZING) and the Big Sexy caraf style adult-beverage....YUM.
