In case you missed it, Houstonist had a crawfish boil this weekend. Over the course of three hours, we boiled and served 496 pounds of crawfish with Volcano holding the last five pounds for their own culinary delight.

Thanks to everyone who made this event a success. Thanks to our 11 readers and your 109 friends for showing up to get your dine on. Thanks to Volcano Pete and his staff, particularly Andrea and Meryl, for taking care of us during the event and being flexible when then quarter ton of critters arrived two-and-a-half hours early. Thanks to BoilCrawfish.com for the discounted equipment.

Finally, thanks to our staff for running the event and maintaining order. Big thanks to Groovehouse, Mary Jane, Ross, KSG, Adri, Ignacio, Judy and the others who were sweating their butts off to get the crawdads out of the sacks, into the pots and delivered to the eaters.

And, to the lady who inquired about us catering her event: that’s no problem; make sure you’ve got beer. We’ll bring the writers and photographers. We would also like to apologize to anyone that tried to buy cayenne pepper at the Kirby Fiesta on Saturday afternoon.

Thanks for reading Houstonist.
