“It's an over-the-top gesture, we know, but if you ever met our dad, Stelio Flamos, you'd know that his larger than life personality and uncontrollable generosity could only be honored with such a big, fun party.”

This is a show the owners hope will be the first in a line of major national acts at Mahall’s.

Zydeco Bistro will be Mahall’s guest chef (with a special menu – see it at right) beginning at 5 p.m. Sunday, July 22 and Buckwheat Zydeco plays at 8 p.m.
