So these plates will literally go from his farm to his tables. Furthermore, in order to pay homage and respect to these animals, every part of the pig will be used in each dish.

We have a lot of seasons in south Louisiana. There are the traditional four, even if it usually feels like two or three. Hurricane season is often referred to as “the fifth season.” The Saints, Tigers, and Jaguars seasons overlap, and don’t forget about baseball at The Box. Before spring, we have Mardi Gras, as well as a season that is as unique as Louisiana - crawfish season. If you are among Louisiana’s many crawfish connoisseurs, you likely spend each season searching for the best crawfish in Baton Rouge . Now, you don’t need to look any further. BRQ is already known for Baton Rouge’s best barbeque , and this year they are bringing that same pride, passion, quality, and expertise to a pot near you. Just as with all of their menu offerings, their relationships with local farmers and purveyors is also evident in BRQ’s crawfish. The farm to table strategy that BRQ is known for is now a farm to newspaper-covered table approach that will leave your mouth watering and you planning ahead to your next visit. Ready to dig in? Each serving will be priced according to the market price by the pound and will come with a generous side of corn and potatoes. While not much can beat a personal tray of fresh-boiled crawfish, if you’re planning a big party, BRQ can handle your larger crawfish needs as well. Our crawfish boils come with all the classics but can also include other boiled sides like pineapples, veggies, garlic, and andouille sausage. BRQ’s signature crawfish sauce, disposables, and trays are available as well. We’ll even provide full bar services for your guests, making your crawfish boil one to truly remember. Concerned about having enough crawfish to meet everyone’s needs? The rule of thumb for a successful crawfish boil is to have three to five pounds per person. This spring, let BRQ handle the crawfish while you enjoy a good time with friends and family. Feel free to add-on and customize your package for that perfect south Louisiana afternoon!
