Mudbug University: Majoring in Boil, Butter, and Bisque

Mudbug University: Majoring in Boil, Butter, and Bisque is a hands-on Louisiana cooking class and dining experience designed to immerse guests in the culture, technique, and creativity behind one of our most iconic ingredients: crawfish. The cooking class and experience will include the following:

• Guests will begin class by getting hands-on with live crawfish, learning how to handle them confidently and understand their role in Louisiana cuisine. From there, we’ll boil crawfish, build a deeply flavored crawfish stock, and teach first-timers how to peel crawfish tails like a true Louisiana pro.

• The experience continues as guests learn to prepare a crawfish infused butter and rich crawfish bisque, exploring how layers of flavor are developed from shell to sauce.

• Then, using the stock, bisque, and butter, guests will then create a crawfish bisque pasta, bringing together everything learned throughout the class.

• The evening concludes with a relaxed dinner party where guests dine together and enjoy the dishes they created. Complimentary wine/beer and non-alcoholic beverages will be available throughout the evening.

Each guest will also leave with a take-home block of crawfish butter to continue experimenting with their own recipes at home.

This experience blends education, culture, and creativity offering a one-of-a-kind Louisiana dining experience that engages all the senses.
