Organic radishes are pretty in a salad, but perhaps one of the purest expressions of the “farm to table” concept is the humble Louisiana crawfish boil. Baited traps are set in ponds within flooded fields and then retrieved the next morning brimming with the nocturnal creatures. Somewhere between a few hours and a few days later, the live mudbugs are made available to backyard boilers or cooked to spicy perfection in area restaurants. Whether you boil them yourself or order them off a menu, it’s a feast worth waiting months for.
