re: Willie's doesn't need my patronage

Yeah, I've never really understood the hype for it. I had gone a couple times for lunch and their burgers and poboys were good, but went back for their boiled crawfish and they were just plain terrible, some of the dirtiest grittiest crawfish I've ever had. When I asked if they purged them, the response I got was that purging is just a myth, and that rinsing them is good enough. Strange, because I remember at the original location off Airline, their crawfish were pretty good.
