Memorial Day Weekend Crab Pot

[Eric Ziebold]

On Sunday May 30th, Sou'Wester will be having a "Crab Boil" on the Lawn at the Mandarin Oriental.

I would encourage anyone that might have been thinking of heading to the Eastern Shore over the weekend to contact us for more info., but the gist is this: we'll be starting at 6:00 PM, and are planning on long tables with communal seating, with family style service. The price is $70/person and includes all food, but not beverages. In addition to platters of Roasted Blue Crabs, there will be Skillet Fried Chicken, Ham Biscuits, Hush Puppies, and other appropriate fare for a crab boil. We'll have some specialty cocktails as well as beer and wine specials.

The idea started as we were looking to launch summertime in the Mid-Atlantic. While I love the "get out of town" experience of going to Kent Narrows and digging into a bunch of crabs, the drive back is always a drag. We are planning on bringing you an Eastern Shore in our backyard-sort of experience.

So if you want to share a fun and casual Sunday Evening on the Lawn with us, please contact Celia Laurent to reserve.

Looking forward to seeing some of you there,
