Ever since they were little kids growing up in the back woods of South East Texas not far from the small nostalgic town of Navasota, Marc and Ben
were fascinated with the crustaceans that they're now renown for all across Texas. At the early age of 4 and 6 they were knee-deep in ponds and
creeks "crawfish hunting." It was a sport they grew fond of. Before long they realized that these critters were not only good bass, catfish, and
gasper-gou bait, but made for a good meal at the dinner table, too. Risking run-ins with water moccasins and alligator snapping turtles, they
reached elbow-deep down into the muddy crawfish burrows to pull out those big granddaddy crawfish. They would sneak away with Mom's good kitchen
colander to collect the mudbugs and come home with a nice sized catch to show off. It wasn't long before Dad said: "Boys, y'all boil them crawfish
up so we can eat 'em!"
The rest is history. As a young adult, Marc had a seasonal stay-over in Louisiana with a family friend that runs the state's most well known
crawfish eatery. While helping out with the daily frenzy of crawfish-crazed customers, Marc soon learned the closely guarded family recipe passed
down from the crawfish experts in Lafayette. It wasn't too long before this crawdad catching country boy turned into a crawfish cooking
culinarian- a genuine guru in the tedious preparation, seasoning, and cooking of the classic recipe from Lafayette loved by all of the natives.
Not long after, he brought these techniques and tradition to a new home in Texas where he teamed up with his food savvy brother and childhood
crawfish catching partner. They decided then-and-there that every Texan deserves a taste of Louisiana. With that, they launched Crawdad's! in
Dallas and Houston. Their specialty? On-Site Cajun Crawfish Boil & Cajun Catering.
Both brothers stay busy during the crawfish season catering in their respective markets. In Dallas, Marc boils up his Cajun crawfish delicacy with
the top-secret 'Lafayette' recipe that can't be found anywhere in Texas. In Houston, Ben, a
culinary cook-pot perfectionist, boils up the 'New Orleans' recipe- a traditional style and taste
with a few extra measures to make sure he stays well above the ordinary-tasting crawfish to be had from the local boilers. But regardless of which city you happen to reside, you're in for a special treat.
In Texas, Crawdad's! is renown for professional, timely service and the best tasting crawfish in the state. Check out Crawdad's of Dallas or Crawdad's! of Houston and taste for yourself why they have "the best crawfish this side of the Mississippi."
