Viet-cajun crawfish is amazing. It started on the west side, but it's all over town now. There are a few places you can get it outside of Houston, but it's really a truly Houston food thing. I usually go to LA Crawfish on Richmond for it, but Houstonia put together a list that is probably accurate enough. Crawfish and Noodles is where it started.
My brother had a more traditional crawfish boil on Saturday, and the bugs he got were HUGE, so I'd say we have at least a month to six weeks left of the season. It started late because of a cold winter, but apparently most of the crawfish made it. If you're in town, lemme take you to eat. You can get it year round at LA Crawfish, but who wants frozen crawfish imported from China? |
The UD show paints NO as a place that refuses to change anything- they went to Vietnamese places where crawfish is made traditional cajun, no one wants to vary, supposedly. then they contrast the changes made in Houston. Underbelly guy was a big part of the show too.
