I have always loved the guys chef dinners at the Tasting Table test kitchen although it was certainly easier to get reservations years ago. Isaac Toups is one of my favorites in New Orleans and he brought some great crawfish dishes to NYC.
crawfish roll, brioche, celery hearts, citrus
crawfish bisque, stuffed crawfish heads
Louisiana crawfish pie, potato puree, herb salad
cinnamon and blood orange “Mardi Gras” hand pie
