Looking for sponsors to close out crawfish season strong 🔥

We’re an award-winning team bringing big flavors and big energy to the SCCA SuperBoil — the largest crawfish event in the South.

This is your chance to showcase your brand in front of thousands, with real exposure both on-site and across our social platforms.

Let’s partner up and make an impact to finish the season right.

First and foremost — THANK YOU to everyone who pulled up Sunday for Exit 73’s Battle of the Bugs. The love and support never go unnoticed 🙏🔥
A few things we want to share from the event:

We run a true two-pot method when it comes to our crawfish. What we turn in to the judges is EXACTLY what we serve y’all — no separate “judge pot,” no shortcuts. If it’s not good enough for judging, it’s not leaving our table.

Our crawfish also requires a minimum 30-minute soak. That flavor doesn’t rush — patience is everything. We’d rather make you wait than serve something we wouldn’t stand behind.

As for judging — it is 100% fair and blind. Different judges every event, all understanding the standards. From the OG days to now, we truly believe this system keeps things honest and competitive the right way.

Now let’s talk about the fan favorite…
Our famous soup dumplings 🥟🔥 — these are LIMITED to one per boat. It’s meant to be a fun, exclusive bite to showcase how far fusion can go, so we appreciate y’all understanding when they run out.

Everything else — elote, soaked quail eggs, and other sides — will always be experimental and rotating. We’re constantly testing, evolving, and bringing something new every event (except the dumplings… those stay 👀).

To wrap it up — thank you for rocking with us all crawfish season.

Let’s keep the energy high, the flavors bold, and build this into a true critic family 💪🔥🦞

Today we are going to review South Texas tails crawfish co Moonshine Deck Icehouse oonshinedeckhouse. These guys have been doing it for awhile with a classic traditional boil. If you are looking for good crawfish without all the sauce and thrills these are for you. Not a bad thing, but definitely good crawfish. I wish the spice was more pronounced and had more garlic but besides that it was delicious!

Krawfish kai in downtown montgomery proper has always been there for years. Their classic cajun food and crawfish were always popular but I think this year their recipe changed slightly. Went during lunch and had great service just wish their crawfish was like last year. Seems to be heavily greenier than normal. Got the spicy garlic but lacking garlic flavor. Overall would try them again maybe had a an off day. Where have you been eating crawfish at?

INGREDIENTS:
Turkey:
• 12.5lbs young turkey
• 1 cup meat church holy gospel seasoning
• 17oz tony chachere herb garlic butter
Brine:
• 16 cups of lukewarm water
• 1 cup fine sea salt
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 3 bay leaves
• 1 tbsp whole peppercorns crushed
• 5 garlic cloves, crushed
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
• 2 lemons sliced
• 2 oranges sliced
• 8 cups cold water
Giblet gravy:
• Giblets neck, gizzard, heart, liver from a turkey
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup diced onion
• 1/2 cup diced carrot
• 1/2 cup diced celery
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 5 cups water
• 2 to 3 tablespoons corn starch
• 1/4 cup water to dissolve corn starch
• Salt to taste
• 1 tbsp dijon mustard
• 2 whole cooked eggs finely chopped

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. This takes time about a week prep. Reason you might ask? To properly thaw a bird takes about 3-4 days at minimum. You want to do it safely. Once thawed, we can start on the prep work.
2. To brine is meaning to put flavor into the meat. This takes about 24 hours. First, we will remove our giblets and neck. Wash the bird to remove any excess.
3. Place into a large container. Use a mixing bowl and mix salt and sugar with luke warm water until everything is dissolved. Pour into container. Next, add our garlic, crushed peppercorns, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, lemons, and oranges. Finish with cold water, and make sure it covers the whole bird. Place in a tight container and fridge for 24 hours.
4. Now, onto the seasoning of the bird. We will remove the bird from the brine and any excess.
5. Next, we will spatchcock the bird. Take our kitchen scissors and cut thru the spine from one end to the other. Use pressure to remove. Flip back around and press along the chest of the bird to flatten. Use a knife as needed. This will help the bird smoke evenly.
6. Next coat bird with our meat church holy gospel seasoning on all sides. Generously coat it, brings more flavor. From here, inject all the beast, wing, and drum with our garlic butter. Save rest for basting.
7. To smoke, we will heat our camp chef smoker to 275*. Add apple wood chips for more of a fruity flavor. Place bird in the middle skin side up. Cook till it reaches 170*. Baste with remaining butter on all sides every hour. This will keep the skin juicy and crisp. Will take about 3 hours.
8. It is important to probe both sides of the breast. Then, probe with an external probe to make sure we do not dry it out! Always let your bird rest for 30 minutes before carving.
