You know what sounds good about right now? Well, besides that. Crawfish! It’s a bit early for crawfish you may think, but our buddy Jon Alexis from TJ’s Fresh Seafood Market has raised the flag to note that the season is on.
Jon says that the mudbugs are early and on the small to medium range in size. However, he has a way for you to get a weekly crawfish update to keep you in the party loop. Remember, they get larger and cheaper as the season progresses.
Hop on over to the fishmonger’s website and select ‘crawfish’ when signing up for his mailing list. That way you won’t be bothered with missives on delicious razor clams or today’s message about the arrival of fresh barramundi.
Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez!

The diet business is a $40 billion enterprise, so there are at least a few of us looking for a simpler way to being thin and healthy. Continue reading

Starting off the new year right and with street tacos on the lineup we decided to hit up El Rincon De Villa after some encouraging words and recommendations from the Tacobots Facebook page. El Rincon is a great little Mexican restaurant located off Greenville Ave and Park Lane this tiny yellow building holds a ton of great tacos. Painted a bright and cheery yellow and covered in old photos of Mexican outlaws along with hand painted Spanish sayings adorning the wall, this place was cute and comfortable from the moment we walked in.
Starting off with delicious warmed red salsa that packs the perfect punch and thin crispy chips the Bots got right down to business reviewing the taco options at El Rincon. With over seven street tacos available there are plenty of choices for everyone at El Rincon. Continue reading
