Legit question, do you or do you not eat the tough tail ends? Seems like a lot of hassle to bite them off or otherwise remove before enjoying the meal.
They are like handles. You don't eat them. For saucy dishes that are eaten with utensils, it makes sense to remove the tails before cooking- at the same time you remove the shells and legs. For things you eat with your fingers, it can save time to leave the tails on.
Yeah, I think we make fattest city in the US every once in a while and if you live here you understand why. Too much great food and too flipping hot in the summer to exercise except from 4-6 AM.
If you guys used real dishes, not disposable ones, you would find that food tastes better, and you would not be throwing away millions of tons of waste. Congrats on the food, looks awesome.

Aggressively Slaps the eggs out of it, add vidalia onions and red potatoes... now it's a low country boil 🤤

I'm mainly seeing corn, sausage and shrimp, only a little bit of crab. The name seems wrong...

Crab boiled it. Like how the shrimp fried the rice.

I'll take one pound. Add the garlic, mushrooms, and sausage.

That’s a shrimp boil

No thank you, I'm not into seafood that much. I like it in small amounts in other meals, not as a meal itself.

I’m making jambalaya tonight with chicken, shrimp, and andouille.

I’m a Cajun boy and went do that after seeing the crawfish episode on Ugly Delicious. Definitely worth the visit.

Hie Thee just means go.

Gotcha, I was hoping there was a specific recommendation that was not the ones I've tried already. Cheers.

I don't miss Houston summers but holy shit I miss Houston food. One of the best food scenes in the country; easily the best in the south.
