My Brother's Crawfish

My Brother's Crawfish is a new place that just got mentioned in the Best of Portland section of Portland Monthly, so we tried it out. It is in a crappy strip mall off of 82 St. (or Ave. of the Roses if you like), strike one. When we got there all the folks cooking the food were Asian (I like to see a black guy or a scary looking white guy when it comes to Cajun food), strike two. We ordered a bunch of sides: jambalaya, gumbo, crawfish etouffee and some boiled crawfish. The good news is that the food saved the day. Apart from the fact that there is oregano in the jambalaya it was all really tasty. If you are a big crawfish fan you are going to have to adjust your expectations. It is not boiled in Zatarain's, they had a spicy sauce on the outside that was nice, but to expensive to order again. They have three different Abita beers which is a nice bonus. You also get a lot of food, we ate well and had a lot to take home. It's not a NOLA substitute, but not bad for PDX.
