re: David Chang prefers seasoning on the outside of crawfish

Yep. The soak is the most important part of the boil. I soak for longer than most. If I don't have a big crowd who isn't in a rush I try to make it 45 mins. I usually start sampling around 30 mins to see how they taste and pull when I like them.

I'm always open to suggestions about what goes in a boil. However, I'll never agree with the dry seasoning on the outside after boiling method. It just doesn't make any sense.
