Savory Sight: Crawfish Boil

We love to attend food events, and so does member senorita, who just attended her first crawfish boil.

I went to my first crawfish boil, lots of fun and tons of tasty food! I would still contend the crawfish were delicious plain, however, a baked potato and corn on the cob could have definitely used some butter. These delicious crustaceans are some work but well worth the effort.

Attending a food festival, or just love taking tasty pictures? Be sure to share them in Savory Sights, and if it looks scrumptious, we just might feature it.

Let's Dish: What Foods Have You Never Eaten Before?

As an adventurous eater, it's shocking to me what people will and won't eat.

As an adventurous eater, it's shocking to me what people will and won't eat. Morgan, for instance, isn't a vegetarian, but never ate peanut butter and jelly or turkey until she was in college. Even Katie was new to something — crawfish — until she tried it under the capable hands of John Besh this Summer. I've tried most things I can think of, but I've never eaten kohlrabi or kidneys. What have you never sampled until recently — and what's still on your to-try list?

Have You Ever Eaten Crawfish?

Before we sat down to John Besh's Tails and Ales Lunch in Aspen, PartySugar told me she'd never eaten crawfish before. "I've never had them," she told me, "but I have a feeling that I'll love them!" It's true there aren't too many crawfish to be had in San Francisco. California is a far cry away from my hometown of Houston, TX, where I grew up eating "mudbugs," as they're called, by the dozen as a kid. Have you had crawfish before?

A Look at John Besh's Crawfish Lunch at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen

Between the Voltaggio brothers lunch and the grand tasting tents, we enjoyed a lot of good food last weekend in Aspen. However, the highlight, by far, was an amazing six-course crawfish lunch, prepared by the master of New Orleans cuisine, Chef John Besh. Thanks to his appearances on the Next Iron Chef and Top Chef Masters, I was pretty familiar with the chef's cooking style.

What I wasn't prepared for was one of the most delicious and memorable meals of my life. Here you'll get a look at the lunch, which was paired with beer and properly titled Tails and Ales.

Crawfish season is definitely upon us!

Spring is in the air, and that's evident with the number of fun food events going on this week that pay homage to everything from rum to crawfish.

We can't wait to taste our way through the year's best wines at Wine Enthusiast's annual Toast of the Town, and taste tequila cocktails made by SF's top mixologists at the Nirvino Mixology Contest.

What events will you be eating your way through this week?
