Galveston Restaurant Week runs until February 2 and one of my favorite places is taking part.

Shucks Tavern & Oyster Bar on 21st St has yummy oysters, soups, sandwiches, steak and more.

Visit before the end of the Restaurant Week promotion and get a great deal.

It's also Mardi Gras season and time for King Cake the delicious treat with cinnamon and other flavors.

My neighborhood diner Shy Katz is taking orders for small, medium and large King Cakes. There are no calories in King Cake so why not try one. Let the good times roll!
