LOCAL HABIT
RESTAURANT--There was a period in my career, where I worked as travel
editor/writer and spent a lot of time on airplanes, US Customs lines and cool
places. Some how I missed visiting New
Orleans. But, when I see something
locally that smacks of the city they call the Big Easy, it goes on my to-do
list—pronto.
Tomorrow and Saturday there’s a Crawfish Boil Weekend at
Local Habit, a Hillcrest eatery. Count
me in.
According to my source, West Coaster magazine: “Local Habit
will host their second annual Crawfish Boil Weekend, with a special beer brewed
by East Village’s Monkey Paw Pub & Brewery.
‘Chef Nick is from Baton Rouge, Louisiana and crawfish boils
are big events around Mardi Gras and through the prime crawfish season,’ said
co-owner Barry Braden. ‘Nick wanted to recreate the Louisiana experience here
for Local Habit.’
“Last year, 400 pounds (at 1.5 lb portions) were served and
the restaurant is having 500 pounds sent out this year.

Euphoria Brass Band goes live from 8:30 – 10:30 p.m. on
Saturday, but $1 off beers on tap lasts all weekend — if you wear your Mardi
Gras beads. The party is the perfect preview for Local Habit’s upcoming
February 12 “Cali-Creole” beer dinner with Monkey Paw.
