In Cambridge, Ohio one of the most talked about rich foods during this time of year is paczki. Paczkis are similar to donuts. They are a "deep fried fruit filled donut," according to eHow.com article Mardi Gras Traditional Foods by Eileen Riviera. In Cambridge, Ohio paczkis can be found at Riesbeck's Grocery Store and Kennedy's Bakery.
Another donut style treat people enjoy on Fat Tuesday are beignets. According to "Ideas For Fat Tuesday" by eHow.com writer Mary Johnson-Gerard, beignets are donuts without the holes in the center and are covered with "powdered sugar."
Both Riesbeck's and Kennedy's Bakeries carry a variety of traditional Fat Tuesday pastries. Riesbeck's is located in East Cambridge near the interstate. There are two Kennedy Bakeries in Cambridge, Ohio. The original Kennedy's Bakery is located in downtown Cambridge, Ohio. The other Kennedy's Bakery is located on State Route 209.
People in England and New Orleans celebrate Fat Tuesday by eating pancakes. The Denny's Restaurant located on State Route 209 offers great breakfast deals.
Another great restaurant to enjoy rich foods in Ruby Tuesday. There is a Ruby Tuesday on State Route 209 in Cambridge, Ohio. Ruby Tuesday offers a variety of meals and drinks at descent prices.
Enjoy the 2011 Fat Tuesday celebration safely.

Hope you had a good Shrove Tuesday/Mardi Gras if you celebrate! If not, hope you had a happy Tuesday and are having a good Wednesday!
