Chef Clint from Orleans on Front e-mailed me more details about the crawfish boil happening this Sunday, March 15, in the parking lot next to the restaurant. He’s thinking of a start time around 3:30, and continuing past sunset. Here are the details:
– Clint will boil the crawfish in a massive pot he picked up in New Orleans that holds 425 pounds of the mudbugs. There will be corn, potatoes, mushrooms, sausage, and garlic thrown in the boil. There will be an all-you-can-eat price that includes your first draft beer, and there will be a to-go box price.
– There will be a Budweiser tap trailer with Hoop pouring the beer.
– DJ Tree will provide the music. There will be no entry fee for the music this time, although they may do it in the future depending on how much crawfish and beer they sell, and how well people tip the bartender and DJ.
– March 15, of course, is Selection Sunday, kind of a big deal for Memphis Tigers fans. For those who want to watch and see if we get our well-deserved #1 seed, the TVs in Orleans’ bar and in the Voodoo Room will be available.
– Darts, Wii bowling and beer pong in the Voodoo Room.
This should be fun. Great chance to get out of the house on a Sunday afternoon and meet your Downtown neighbors. Right now the weather is looking less than ideal – high 55, low 47 last I saw – but there’s still 6 days for the forecast to change, and even if it is unseasonably cool we can always take the crawfish inside Orleans or the Voodoo Room. I definitely plan on being there – hope you can make it too.
