It happened like most fusion does.
I like the garlic butter but not a fan of the spicy "Cane's sauce" it overpowers the taste of the crawfish which are already fighting for their life under the heavy seasoning.

Cajuns didn’t invent crawfish. May have perfected cooking it.
But big market for that style in Houston. Clearly the owner of this restaurant couldn’t keep up with the competition.
I think it’s gross for the record

There's a significant Vietnamese population in Houston. They own lots of restaurants, and people in Houston like crawfish, so.....
but Vietnamese are basically the cajuns of Southeast Asia anyway. The 2nd or 3rd generations are as baw as anyone.

Good. Texans need to stop eating our crawfish.

Guys just using it as an excuse, look at his track record running restaurants

Yeah. Houston has one of the biggest chinatowns in the US. At least area wise. And it’s not just Chinese of course. Some amazing food there. The viet style crawfish is not part of the amazing food imo.

Maybe, just maybe…enough Louisiana residents were tired of living in the shithole that they moved to a 10x better state next door and brought their love of crawfish with them? Thus, creating a market for crawfish.

At least they refuse to bring in Chinese crayfish
Contrary to my personal belief..

It’s sad Louisiana hasn’t realized the gold mine they are sitting on and increased production.
Demand skyrockets and Louisiana natives complain instead of getting rich.

Vietnamese style of cooking crawfish is gross

Wtf do they sell when it’s not crawfish season? Don’t see how this could cause them to close down.

According to the Crawfish App people prices are reasonable right now.

"Finally, some good news about crawfish this week. Crawfish App co-founder Laney King said mudbug prices dropped a dollar a pound this week. She said boiled crawfish average $5.99 a pound and you can find a sack for about $160. After a rough start to the season, King said the outlook has definitely improved."
“King said now is the time to visit your favorite crawfish spot because they’re at a good size and prices are reasonable.”
Nope. I just looked at the app and the cheapest within 50 miles of New Orleans were $5.49, $5.99, and $5.99. Rouses is $6.19. The average at least $6.99.

$14 a pound for something you can find in most ditches in SE Louisiana, I’ve never understood the appeal for crawfish in Louisiana. It’s all about the boil, which is just a reason for family and friends to get together to drink and have fun. We can get together and boil potatoes for a fraction of the price and get the same result.

I am not stanning for this guy because he seems to have problems keeping restaurants open but there are a lot of businesses that rely on "seasons" to make their year. This is why you see some odd combinations of seasonal businesses under one roof like pool supplies and Christmas decorations.

Reading that timeline, seems like Nguyen is not a good businessman and I’d using the shortage as an excuse to close, instead of closing because he’s not good at running a business,

I’m not sure if all the South Louisiana posters realize just how many Cajuns and various other exiles are in SE Texas. And that goes back generations in places like Beaumont.

How is it that the people living along one of the largest river basins in Asia have similar eating habits based on “first you make a roux” mentality for anything alive like the people of south Louisiana?

Crawfish are no where close to essential. All this about our Louisiana governor declaring a crawfish state of emergency is bullshite.
My momma’s side of the family farms about 15,000 acres, so I know this first hand. Nobody loves sucking on the government’s teet more than farmers.
