Crawfish season starts at Chris' Jazz Cafe next week
Mark DiNinno and the crew at Chris' Jazz Cafe (1421 Sansom St.), ever the astute NOLAphiles, will be kicking off crawdad season with a Mardi Gras party next Tuesday, Feb. 21. To drink, they'll have Abita's Mardi Gras Bock on tap and a few others from Louisiana-based brewery, plus $3 Sazeracs and $5 Hurricanes. Thirty dollars will get you all-you-can-eat crawfish, or if you are feeling slightly less ambitious, you can order a bucket of the little guys for $10. They'll also have shrimp gumbo for $5. Stick around until 6:45 to watch the Hoppin' John Orchestra parade down Broad to the Chris' stage for a 7 p.m. show complete with beads and king cake (yes, with the tiny baby in it).
This is just the start of crawfish season at Chris'. They'll offer a beefed-up $10 bucket deal through the spring that includes potatoes and corn, as well as daily specials like spring rolls, mac 'n' cheese and the infamous crawfish cheesesteak. You'll also be able to grab the same drink specials from the party during happy hour throughout the season. Be sure to look out for a nightly $35 crawfish-centric prix-fixe, as well as a mayhaw berry ice cream created by Franklin Fountain just for this crawtastic occasion.
