Ahh, thanks for the shoutout ☕I enjoy buying you guys coffee because I enjoy seeing where you redeem them!! Mobile, Alabama ✅ Looks like a great time! I was unaware that Mobile was the original location for Mardi Gras. And, what a brilliant name with, Yardi Gras! Cheers to you two, and be safe 🥤
Beignet...beigniet...spellcheck... beignet! Those are phenomenal. Cinnamon syrup with college football marching band-meets-Dirty Dozen Brass Band. Taste and sound perfection. And after we type that, you get a football. Perfect. Looks just as fun as New Orleans, but it appears we can bring the kid! Totally get the trash issues. Ugh. Yardi Gras? If you're musical, porch concerts! OK, you have my stomach now with that seafood. And world-class two-hand technique. If we can pull it off (probably not this year), we should meet up after Thanksgiving at the Bayou Classic in New Orleans. A big chunk of the craziness of Mardi Gras without the debauchery, and the music is INCREDIBLE. It's when Grambling & Southern play the most storied HBCU football rivalry, but the battle between the bands is JUST as bonkers. Worth going for the INSANE music as much as the football, and there is an amazing party atmosphere around it the day before as well.
he only had a couple, cuz he realized he didn’t love them. 😂 soooooooo much litter! and they had people and massive street cleaning trucks picking it up right after the parade, but still… all that waste! happens at so many things: NYE celebrations, Coachella and other music festivals. as a society we love stuff for stuff’s sake, and it’s really problematic. Even Stephen with all the goodies he grabbed. It’s fun, but then what? It was part of the reason I just wanted to watch the next parade from the van. we don’t need a bunch of trinkety junk.
You captured such a cool vibe. Now I need to follow through and get there. I've tried to make Beignets but it wasn't close---kind of like OF pizza with the variables.
Mobile is not the originator..First Mardi Gras in Mobile was 1703 The first American Mardi Gras took place on March 3, 1699, when French explorers Pierre Le Moyne d’Iberville and Sieur de Bienville landed near present-day New Orleans, Louisiana. They held a small celebration and dubbed their landing spot Point du Mardi Gras. (Some argue the port city of Mobile, Alabama was actually the first to observe the event.) In the decades that followed, New Orleans and other French settlements began marking the holiday with street parties, masked balls and lavish dinners. When the Spanish took control of New Orleans, however, they abolished these rowdy rituals, and the bans remained in force until Louisiana became a U.S
@@williamtippins3651 both could be rite,mobile which at the time was part of Louisiana started parades & floats you are most definitely rite But I'm referring to how Mardi Gras started ,it started in present day New Orleans which wasn't even called New Orleans then .
@@StephenandAndie Mardi Gras started in Buras, a small town of the NOLA metro area. The first MG celebration was in modern day NOLA. Mobile wasn’t celebrating carnival during that season. They celebrated it during New Years. New Orleans is the birthplace of Mardi Gras.
Bro it's way better then New Orleans too me. I had a better time at that Mardi Gras then Orleans Mardi Gras and Orange Beach experience was amazing. I been to New Orleans Mardi Gras three times before. Glad I experience this one which is the original place for Mardi Gras.
@@zachratedrll1529Numerous people have told me that they prefer Mobile Mardi Gras. I was miserable when I first moved to Mobile, Alabama but Mardi Gras helped cheer me up.
After all the historical facts my gut cspan did a whole report out and yet yall still wanna argue what evidence do you have besides word of mouth I will wait
You didn’t experience Mardi Gras at all… Who wants to go to Alabama for Mardi Gras smh… They originated it but conformed to New Orleans traditions 🤷🏾♂️
Nice parking spot for the 2nd parade! 👍
Haha the happy food dance was so relatable. I have to admit I'm a little jealous of those cinnamon butter vibes!
LOL - it was out of this world!

thank YOU for the coffee! ❤️
The beignets sounded fabulous!!
way better than we even thought they’d be!
@@StephenandAndie looks like you enjoyed the king cake as well!

That sounds, and would be, Amazing!
Loved this video Mobile looks like our place to celebrate Mardi Gras it’s not too packed and relaxing.
YardiGras! Love the concept!
that period of time really brought out the resilience and creativity in people.
Yardi Gras is such an awesome idea!!!
Adversity breeds some great ideas!
The birth home of Mardi Gras
I love Mardi Gra but never been to the one in Mobile. We normally do the one in New Orleans, Louisiana. LIKE 21. 👍👍👍
we have yet to go to New Orleans, but it’s definitely on our list!
So how many Moon Pies did you eat, Stephen?
Yeah that parade was a litter mess...
But YardiGras is a FAB idea!!

Happy Mardi Gras!!!
And to you! We really loved Mobile!😊
Thank You. Are you coming for the 2024 Mardi Gras season?
unfortunately, not this year. we’re on the west coast for the next couple of months.
@@StephenandAndie safe travels to you and your family. I’ll have all the Mobile parades on my channel. Feel free to stop by.

Those oysters looked amazing! We’ve been recommended to check out Mobile and this is the first time we see mobile and it’s looks great!
Oh, you guys should definitely check it out when you’re able - it’s really cool!
wow-top sharing. I'll be bacck. =))

did you at least end up with your own non-beignet yummy pastry? 😁
It was meh but I’ve had the real deal so the bar was high. I made them before owning a deep fryer so maybe I’ll try again.

It was Mobilians who started the parades in New Orleans...

We appreciate everyone’s input!
I think they don't hide the baby anymore because of the choking hazard...
lol - figures.
Why did I wait so late to watch this, only to raise a craving for beignets? I didn't realize that they were so popular away from New Orleans.
we should have warned you. 🤷🏻♀️
Mobile??? 😂😂😂
Yep! That’s where Mardi Gras started - the OG! 😊

You fail to say. That all those Mardi Gras traditions came from New Orleans.
Even the Porch Floats...
Mobile can claim Tennesse Moon Pie...
Nope stop it we help yall start mardi gras knock it off
@@Mobtowndon No y'all didn't.
Mardi Gras is our correction
After all the historical facts my gut cspan did a whole report out and yet yall still wanna argue what evidence do you have besides word of mouth I will wait
@@Mobtowndon Nobody get there sources from C-Span.

@@Mobtowndon C-Span is B.S..
Mardi Gras ain't Mobile
