Overview

Homegrown Cajun-inspired seafood chain Kickin' Inn is dialling up the flavour this weekend, in support of Mardi Gras 2022 and the LGBTQIA+ community. From Friday, March 4–Sunday, March 6, all 11 of its restaurants will be breaking out the decorations and popping bottles for a three-day Mardi Gras Long Weekend celebration.

Taking the sparkly crown as the weekend's special guest of honour is none other than Tik Tok star, Instagram favourite and drag darling, Carla From Bankstown. Thanks to this glittering partnership, $1 from each signature shrimp martini sold across the weekend will go towards Carla's LGBTIQA+ charity of choice, Twenty10 — an organisation that provides support services for LGBTQIA+ youth.

Not only will you be dining for a great cause, but if you book your table in advance you'll score a free glass of rosé to enjoy with your meal — the tipple Carla fittingly describes as "the gayest of all the wines".

Melbourne's currently home to two Kickin' Inn outposts, in Port Melbourne and Highett.
