[title type="h5"]The King Of Crawfish, Crowned Tonight, Feeds You.[/title]
Last year at the peak of crawfish season, the Louisiana Restaurant Association held a party to celebrate one of Louisiana's best and most distinctive food products: the mighty mudbug. It was enough fun that the LRA is making it an annual event, with the second running tonight.
Chef Duke Locicero told me that this is not to be confused with a crawfish boil. "We have fourteen major chefs cooking original crawfish dishes of all kinds," he says. There will be drinks, too. The price is $45 per person, with tickets available at the door or online.
After you eat your fill of the crawfish creations, you're asked to nominate one of the participating chefs as King Of Crawfish. The festivities begin at six in the Chicory, a handsome events space at 610 S. Peters in the Warehouse District. (Next door to Ernst Cafe, corner of Lafayette and S. Peters.) Parking at nominal rates is easily available nearby.
