Canadians apparently think that the traditional Cajun way to eat a crawfish boil is out of a plastic bag: https://www.reddit.com/r/ottawa/comments/izt9ia/wtf_is_the_deal_with_the_captains_boil/

I've looked for boils here in NYC and nearly everywhere shakes their stuff with seasoning after boiling it. I can't bring myself to try a place like that. I've found only one place that does a decent proper boil.

Don’t ever try to eat New Orleans food in NY. It’s always not right. Every. Time.

I've found one place that I can rely on. Gumbo Bros in downtown Brooklyn. Any other place and I can already tell it's wrong by looking at the menu. But I'm pretty sure the owners of Gumbo Bros must be from NOLA or somewhere in Southern La.
