jt's crab house

this is a dif JT than previously mentioned of course. this JT is of the non-singing and dancing variety. he's cindy's(HS friend) ex-bf who quit his sysadmin job and started a crabhouse with his friends. it serves new orleans style food - crayfish, shrimp, crab, etc. i actually didn't go to all the grand opening parties because of my friendship with cindy. not that she would mind, but he was a horrible bf to her and i feel like he really said and did things that bf's should never to say to their gf's if they love them. anyhow, it's water under the bridge since he's actually not a bad guy - in fact he's an awesome friend, helps out in any way that he can. i needed to get some sony products before and he immediately helped me out with connections with an employee discount. he always asks if there is anything to do to help. excellent friend, horrible boyfriend. so for treating my good friend badly, i will never forgive him.

however hunny's friends wanted to go there for dinner. so i didn't want to decline since i know JT is more of a personal problem and not something i would make an issueof to others. hunny's friend was also kind enough to treat us out since he just got a new job at netflicks. the food was actually very good, now that they have perfected things more. we ordered crayfish and shrimp - kitchen sink (all the flavors mixed together - everything but the kitchen sink) and the garlic butter flavor. very tasty. looking at the menu, there were a lot of memories. JT and friends had talked about opening a cafe or restaurant for years. menu items i knew were certain favorites of the friends. heifenweisen was the beer that they all liked. banana fosters was i think freddy's fav - it was so delish we ordered a second one as soon as the first was finished. john made bunches and bunches of biegnets for us to try until he perfected the recipe. all the spices of the seafood was classic JT - full of flavor. JT always puts tons of seasonings in anything he cooks. it was not too much in this case, just right. JT is also meticulous about food so he took great care to figure out the way to get the best ingredients. now he fedex's crayfish from new orleans and they will have a good supply until june. so, even though i dislike him for what he did to cindy, i still respect his food.we also ordered the wok fried gator, dirty rice, beignets with all three sauces on the side. all were good and all i'd order again. go to the restaurant and try it out- it's right next to valley fair - CAJUN CRAB HOUSE , 826 S.
