About the MAN
Native New Orleans resident, Steven James , opened Fat Tuesday in Des Moines, Iowa on March 2009. James Moved to Des Moines from the 9th Ward in New Orleans and brought the taste of the "Big Easy" with him. His recipes come directly from his mother and close family relatives and are served to each customer from the heart.
James has been catering and providing food for special event in the Des Moines area for the past 11 years; and repeated requests from his customer asking " So, where's the restaurant?" encouraged him to open Fat Tuesday.
Here, you too will find not only the flavors and tastes of New Orleans, but also the Southern- style dishes that you've have grown to love.
