The etouffée extravaganza has Eunice simmerin' again this year with crawfish and good times galore. And though we're pretty sure places like Germany, Thailand, or Chile aren't competing in the cook-off, we like the sound of world championship, too. While live Cajun and zydeco music play in the background, get to tasting—such a concentration of crawfish étouffée this delicious is not something you see every day. Don't skip the night-before party at the Barn at Lakeview Park & Beach (1717 Veterans Memorial Highway) from 8 pm–midnight, with Geno Delafosse & French Rockin' Boogie. Sunday kicks off the crawfish end of things, with more live music (Jamie Bergeron and Kickin Cajuns, Troy LeJeune & Cajun Revue, and Jason Frey & Lagniappe) and chowing down from 10 am–3:30 pm, when the winners will be announced.
