Epicurean Kentuckian: The art of eating crawfish 2017-04-25 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, Columbiamagazine.com(c) . At a recent gathering at the home of Connie & Junior Stotts, Barry Stotts, third from left, prepared a traditional Cajun Crawfish Boil, served on the patio in traditional Louisiana style. The chef demonstrates his technique for eating boiled crawddads (what my family called them), as, from left, his uncle Todd Stotts and great friend Alan VanArsdale observe, while Barry Stotts' daughter, Ashton, far right, and Beth VanArsdale share their own primer on the somewhat rare - in Adair County - epicurean etiquette. The crawfish, shrimp, corn, red potatoes and cauliflower, took top billing with a full compliment of vegetables and desserts covering tables inside. It is safe to say that a good time was had by all. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
